Dimensional Research poll conducted more than 950 leaders, managers and IT staff. Analyst Diane Hagglund of Dimensional Research said 45% of these identified, training users on the ribbon is a concern. This figure more than double the percentage who said they were worried about the stability and reliability of software.
