In contrast, Dataquest's research in our computer
systems group shows that worldwide
computer revenue declined 7 percent throughout
the same period. So things could be
worse—software was one of the few^ growth
areas in some very tough economic times, and
CAD software dearly boosted revenue for a
few hardware suppliers.

significant downw^ard revision of revenue for
most of the major vendors. Of the top 20
vendors listed in Table 2 , 18 companies'
revenue was revised downward, 10 of them
significantly, based on final fourth-quarter
financial results. Looking at software alone,
Table 3 also portrays a primarily downward
revision trend. In all cases, however, these
changes have produced very small changes
in any company's market position.

Two companies, Electronic Data Systems Corp.
(EDS) and Computervision Corp., revealed
previously unavailable information in 1992.
EDS' market position was significantiy lowered
due to new reporting structure put in place
after its purchase from McDonnell Douglas,
which eliminated considerable revenue from
service and consulting that has been reclassified
as a separate, non-CAD activity. Computervision's
revenue was also revised downward
almost $90 million based on the company's
final published results in conjunction
