This paper assesses the patterns of adoption and utilization of seven CIT clusters in supporting task-oriented collaboration in organizations in Australia and New Zealand. Results from one hundred and fifty-six organizations indicates that these patterns vary considerable among different CITs. An investigation into the antecedents of adoption and utilization of CITs indicates that promotion of collaboration, decision making pattern, and IT function size are significant predictors of aggregate adoption status of CITs. While promotion of collaboration and decision making patterns also influence aggregate adoption levels, only promotion of collaboration was found to be a significant predictor of aggregate utilization level of CITs.
