• A list of statistics you'll need to describe your department's workload.

• Results from a Gartner survey that describe typical end-user to support staff ratios and information on what staffing numbers the Stamford, CT-based analysts are recommending for companies today.

• A formula to calculate the best ratio for your organization.
