NOTES: Before 1998 companies classified in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industries 737 (computer and data processing services) and 871 (engineering, architectural, and surveying services). 1998–2005 companies classified in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries 5112 (software), 51 minus (511, 513; other information), and 5415 (computer systems design and related services). With SIC classification, information technology services share of company-funded R&D was 10.4% for 1998, indicating SIC-based data may overestimate information technology services R&D and net sales relative to NAICS-based data.
