Top IT priorities for Nordic CIOs in 2018
Summary
“For the CIO, this means that both the technologies and the IT service delivery models must be updated,” said Anders Elbak , research manager at analyst firm IDC in the Nordics.“With the recent wave of data breaches, widespread ransomware attacks and theft of cryptocurrencies, I don’t see any pause in spending time and money on digital security in 2018,” said Johnsen.In 2017, Computer Weekly and TechTarget’s IT priorities survey found that more than half of Nordic respondents planned to increase their cloud spending – and the trend shows no sign of abating, with cloud-based services attracting interest as companies aim to make their workplaces more digital and mobile.“When we moved into the cloud for office support and collaboration tools, we realised we were taking our workforce into a new decade of efficiency and job satisfaction,” said Bjørn Villa, CIO at Trondheim.Svevia’s Dahlin has similar plans for 2018, with the construction company rolling out a new digital workplace platform based on technologies and cloud services from Microsoft.
