Survey on information and communication technologies in business 

Business ICT

The EC survey on information and communication technologies (ICT) use and electronic commerce in businesses is part of the European survey program, in accordance with European regulation n° 1006/2009 of September 16, 2009 amending the regulation of April 21, 2004.
This program serves to evaluate the progress of use of ICTs by European businesses.
The aim of the ICT survey is to improve understanding of computerisation and the dissemination of information and communication technologies in business.
It aims notably to assess the place of new tools in external business relations (internet, electronic commerce) and in their internal working (networks, integrated management systems).

This survey follows on from the themed surveys conducted since 2001 on Eurostat's initiative.
In France, this survey notably follows on from the one conducted in 2002 involving 12,000 industrial, trade and services companies (ICT 2002).
It also follows on from the specific investigations conducted on the topic of electronic commerce in 2000 and then again in 2004.
The survey has been annual since 2006.
In 2022, the enterprise replaces the legal unit as the interrogation unit.
