Only 28 percent saw their budgets—excluding salaries and benefits—increase in 2012, while 69 percent stayed the same. Prospects were only slightly better in 2013, with 62 percent of budgets projected to remain static.

Ragan/NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions survey respondents ranged from small nonprofits to corporations of more than 50,000 employees, with government agencies also participating.
