number of respondents who gave ratings of "Important" or "Extremely Important"
are summarized in the table below. To view complete statistics of

greatest level of interest in this category is in the ability of the application
to operate and be updated via the Internet (or similarly, be used over
a private corporate/institutional Intranet).
