I am looking for list of companies (at least top 200 according to
their IT spending) (or information about companies that can provide
this kind of listing) in Chicago land area with the following
information:

Name and address of companies
Revenue
Number of Employees in Chicago
Number of IT employees in Chicago
IT Spending
Average project size

I realize that getting information about the last three items is very
difficult and I am willing to pay more money. If you are able to
provide me company list with all of the above information, let me know
how much I will have to pay. I will post a new question with the
amount you have asked for.

Thanks.

I can provide you with an excellent fee-based company that surveys
companies on their IT spending, determining how much they spend; how
many employees they have; what they plan to spend money on.

Their priorities are on larger $50M+ companies but with divisions of
Fortune 1000 companies they could probably get you to 200 contacts.

Best regards,

omnivorous,

Sorry for the delayed response. 

I think your company name can be very useful to me, but I want to get
some idea about how much this company will charge for this kind of
information. I am not asking for price quote, but I need to know ball
park figure.

If the price will be few hundereds, I will like to have the company
name.

Thanks.

Abc --

They're a market research company that surveys companies on a monthly
basis about IT product purchase intentions.  My guess is that annual
service fees would run $1,000-$5,000 based on the limited market are
that you're trying to cover (just the Chicago metro area).

Best regards,
