In 2016, content consumption volume from IT professionals grew by 38% and 54% of the active audience consumed more than one piece of content. Further, 11% of the active IT audience consumed more than 10 resources, averaging only 11 days between content requests. Robert Alvin, CEO and Founder of NetLine Corporation explained why the demand for IT content is surging, "the IT Department is under pressure to support organizations from all sides—each requiring a unique set of skills, knowledge, and experience. Now more than ever IT professionals need to be more informed; there is a higher thirst and voracity for a variety of pertinent content."
The industry report tackles a hot button topic in the lead nurture process, the consumption gap – the timespan between the content request and the moment the content is opened, measured in hours. The analysis showed that active IT professionals averaged more than twenty-four hours to open the content and senior-level leadership more than thirty hours. NetLine is making a recommendation to allow for 2 days before contacting, especially in the case of long-form content consumption.
