FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR,
ECONOMIC PROGRAMS
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
You have been selected to participate in the 2013 Information and Communication Technology
Survey (ICTS). The ICTS collects both capitalized and non-capitalized spending for information and
communication technology (ICT) equipment and computer software. These data are very important
for calculating the investment component of the Gross Domestic Product and estimates of capital
stock. The ICTS data also help U.S. businesses identify market opportunities, develop new products,
and conduct strategic planning.
In an effort to conduct the ICTS in a cost-effective manner, we have developed an online reporting
system for completing the survey that we are confident you will find easy to use. To complete the
survey online or get assistance from the Business Help Site, go to econhelp.census.gov/aces. Use
