GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Marketing / Market Research / middleware budgets
English term or phrase: business improved
One of the possible responses from list of possible answers to the question "why did you spend more than expected on middleware from X vendor during the 2nd quarter of 2005?"

This means that the business is going well/making money...I think it's ambigously worded on purpose as to the reason why (improved economic climate? better leadership? new products? we don't know).
