IT leaders primed to drive innovation and hybrid work
Summary
The survey also found that a big majority of IT leaders (90%) say IT is increasingly asked to innovate more quickly and demonstrate return on investment. In fact, 82% say their business partners demand speed, but leaders have concerns about the cost and risk associated with moving too quickly to deliver. The vast majority (93%) of IT decision-makers say the pace of digital transformation has dramatically increased at their organisation over the past year, but 83% say emerging technologies no longer fit neatly into on-premise or cloud. According to Snow Software, these IT leaders need new processes and teams to manage them, adding to the long list of responsibilities on the CIO’s already highly piled plate. Alastair Pooley, CIO at Snow Software, said: “The pace of change will not slow down, making it even more critical that IT and business leaders have excellent oversight of their technology estate, allowing them to effectively manage technology, optimise spend and reduce risk, which will, in turn, enable them to better weather future global events, and better prepare for organisational success.”
