A recent Gartner survey finds that while some businesses have slowed down Web services projects, not many of these projects have been cancelled. Gartner found that 48% of respondents said that the economy had caused them to curtail some spending, but the projects have continued. Nicole Latimer, a Gartner analyst, says:

Only 1% of respondents stated that they stopped all Web services development projects going forward, and only 6% stated that their organization has postponed the majority of Web services development projects for 1 year or more.
