The document discusses research findings on technology agility from Ovum. It finds that a majority of large businesses feel their approach to agility is suboptimal due to legacy systems and budget constraints. Respondents were also dissatisfied with the speed of responding to requests. For small businesses, legacy systems and costs were also seen as major barriers to agility. Affordable technology options were seen as the biggest opportunity. The document advocates that increasing agility allows businesses to better cope with changes like growing mobile traffic and video usage.
This document summarizes the findings of a research study on agility and enterprise ICT decision making. It finds that while about a third of respondents felt their organization had the right balance of agility, over 40% felt hindered by legacy technology. The main obstacles to agility were seen as legacy systems, budget constraints, and lack of senior management commitment. Respondents were also dissatisfied with the speed of responding to requests. Empowering employees in strategic decisions and simplifying ICT solutions were seen as potential ways to improve agility. Financial institutions were most concerned with compliance while retailers focused on budgets. The document concludes with some tips for improving technological agility.
Nearly two-thirds of SME respondents see ICT agility as a sound business practice, but about half feel their organization's approach is sub-optimal, held back by legacy technologies and budget constraints. Affordable technology is seen as the biggest enabler of increased agility, especially among smaller companies. Most agree that SMEs face a choice between costly enterprise solutions or affordable but limited consumer-grade options with little in between.
The document summarizes a survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit on the decentralization of IT across enterprises. Some key findings include:
1) Over 40% of IT executives say technology activities are becoming decentralized as business units develop their own IT solutions like devices, apps, and cloud networks.
2) This is driven by IT departments' limited bandwidth and staff shortages, as well as business units' need for domain expertise.
3) Decentralization is proliferating the number of technologies used across enterprises and fragmenting standards and purchasing power.
4) IT departments say decentralization is making their jobs more challenging, straining personnel, and reducing their ability to protect the company from cyberattacks
In a recent global study conducted by leading IT research firm EMA, 38% of IT leaders rated the impact of enterprise service management on the relationship of IT and the business as “transformational.”

Financial Services Automation: Taking Off the Training WheelsCognizant
Many financial institutions are struggling to move beyond early proofs of concept with process automation, our latest research reveals. To realize the promise of automation, financial institutions need to transcend technological myopia, focus on end-to-end business function innovation, and proactively address security challenges and risk.
The document discusses the results of a survey of 298 IT professionals in the US and Canada on emerging technologies and their impact on the role of IT. Key findings include:
- Over 90% of IT professionals said infrastructure complexity has affected their role in the last 3-5 years.
- Top emerging technologies impacting businesses were compute virtualization, mobility, and cloud computing. BYOD was seen as most disruptive.
- Cloud computing and mobility were seen as most important for investment to remain competitive in the future.
- Information security and cloud skills will be most in demand, while server management and virtualization skills are most likely to be automated.
- The IT role needing most adaptation is information security.

Us dept of veteran affairs transforms ITVishal Sharma
The Department of Veterans Affairs launched an ambitious effort in 2005 to transform and centralize its information technology systems. The prior decentralized system of over 1,000 facilities was aging, insecure, and inefficient. The transformation aims to create a secure, integrated, and responsive IT system through centralizing budgets, planning, and development under a new Office of Information and Technology. The effort has faced significant resistance due to the change in culture and control required. While still a work in progress, the transformation provides lessons for other large organizations undergoing IT modernization and holds promise to improve services for veterans through a more coordinated technology infrastructure.
Three key findings from the survey:
1) The top 3 business initiatives IT will support are increased operational efficiency, improved customer experience, and cost reduction. The top 3 IT initiatives are cloud computing, modernizing legacy systems, and data governance.
2) Over two-thirds of respondents said siloed data negatively impacts their organization. The most common IT challenge was skills/staff shortage.
3) While most organizations are somewhat effective in getting value from data, making data accessible across the enterprise and delivering insights to business users outside of IT were challenges.
DRIVERS AND IMPEDIMENTS TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - THE RESEARCHTom Rieger
This document summarizes the results of a survey about drivers and impediments to digital transformation. Over 82% of respondents agreed there is a big shift happening in enterprise technology. While 55% said their organization takes a "cloud first" approach, 74% still have network drives for file sharing. Respondents believed the main reasons older systems are still running are integration complexity (49%), business criticality (43%), and that transition is seen as a short-term problem (22%). Over the next 12 months, most organizations plan to move more workloads to the cloud.
- 50% of organizations surveyed have yet to adopt any automated AP systems, with 1/3 of those receiving over 25,000 invoices per month still using paper-based processes.
- Adopters report payback periods of 6-18 months, with average cost savings of 29.2% and many achieving over 50% savings.
- Finding supporting documentation for non-PO invoices is cited as a major challenge, with 66% saying documents are not easy to find.

Responsible Recycling To Reduce Your Risk of LiabilityMatthew Service
The document discusses reducing liability risks from electronics recycling and refurbishing. It outlines various regulations around data security, environmental protection, and legal compliance. Becoming R2 certified significantly reduces risks of data breaches, environmental incidents, and non-compliance by requiring rigorous standards, audits, and accountability throughout the recycling process. While other standards have merits, R2 is uniquely focused on reuse and resource preservation through a consensus-based process.
Omlis Data Breaches Report - An Inside Perspective Omlis
The rise in digital and mobile financial services has introduced an onset of increased data breaches over the last few years. The digital revolution has undermined the traditional framework used to regulate financial institutions, which has led to areas of vulnerability within their security systems.
In the report, Data Breaches: An Inside Perspective, Omlis conducted in-depth interviews with experienced cyber security professionals to understand why TFIs (traditional financial institutions) aren't adequately addressing security weaknesses.
In our research, the discussions centered on the types of security systems employed by TFIs, personal and industry-wide attitudes to security, and the types of security measures used to prevent breaches.
The findings indicate that TFIs current preference towards technology creates an increasingly complex system with associated vulnerabilities and ultimately it requires greater manual input for maintenance and updates.
There are also issues related to the attitudes of employees and difficulties implementing comprehensive and in-depth incident strategies.
Taking this into account, the report suggests a new direction for TFI's security systems to provide secure, innovative solutions.

Research by AVG shows that although most small businesses understand the need to protect their IT systems, fewer are willing to put it into practice. Out of 2000 SMBs surveyed in the US and UK for the "SMB Landscape Report", more than half (52%) have no IT security guidelines for their staff, while 1 in 7 have no Internet security software or solutions in place at all.
The Exploring Consumer Attitudes & Actions on Key Tech Policy Issues 2014 study reveals a majority of respondents (59 percent) said either privacy or security had the biggest potential impact on their personal lives. This concern has led as many respondents (59 percent) to say they would take action related to security and privacy issues.
Conducted by Edelman Berland, the survey polled more than 1,000 U.S. consumers over the age of 18 to better understand their attitudes about major technology policy issues and their willingness to take action and engage in the political process on these issues.

3gamma whitepaper the state of it service management in agile organizations (...Jens Ekberg
3gamma's whitepaper on The state of IT service management in agile organizations.
Swedish companies are struggling with the balance between governance, control and stability, and the need for greater innovation and flexibility. Conflicting forces are driving complexity. Regulatory requirements are increasing the demand for greater control and governance whilst at the same time customer demands are accelerating and changing. IT is caught in the middle – trying to balance stability, control and maintaining operations whilst, at the same time, delivering innovation.
3gamma has surveyed 100 IT leaders on how to manage the balance between control and innovation with a special focus on the perceived conflict between IT service management frameworks and agile methodologies.
An agile IT organization is not created through the adoption of an agile development methodology. There is no quick fix. Becoming a high-performing IT organization cannot be attributed to a single factor. It is done through focused execution of a business-driven IT strategy encompassing people, processes and technology.
3gamma’s survey shows that the issues experienced within the participating organizations can’t be attributed to any specific methodology or framework. They are generic and wide-spread.
From the financial sector, through retail, to media, the pre-requisites vary. The companies and organizations within 3gamma’s study that are successful in meeting their businesses’ requirements, regardless of size or industry, share a set of common traits:
* Customer centricity
* Communication
* Continuous improvement
* Removing obstacles
The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

Navigating IT Complexity - Research report by IDGShoreTel
The primary objective of this research program is to explore IT decision makers’ attitudes toward and acceptance of technology complexity with a focus on IP telephony solutions. More specifically, the survey was designed to identify the extent to which companies are struggling with IT complexity as a macro issue, the perceived contributors to IT
complexity, adoption of IP telephony, and attitudes/experiences regarding complexity in IP telephony solutions.
The research was conducted online among the CIO and Network World audiences between September 14, 2010 and October 4, 2010. Respondents were screened for title (IT manager and above or LOB executive), core job responsibilities (strategic focus), company size of 50 or more employees, and for the implementation or planned implementation of IT telephony solutions. A total of 324 qualified respondents are represented in this summary; 186 respondents are members of the CIO audience, 138 respondents are members of the Network World audience.
The Use of Spreadsheets in Commodity Trading – 2015CTRM Center
Spreadsheets have long been an integral part of a trading company’s armory of tools and software. Over the years, the demise of the spreadsheet in commodity trading organizations has continued to be predicted with increasing frequency and regularity, and yet, the spreadsheet is alive, well, and kicking in 2015; as this survey proves. Despite the growing maturity of commercially available Commodity Trading and Risk Management software (CTRM) solutions, the increase in regulation and oversight and, the alarming number of horror stories involving spreadsheets in losses, mistakes and fraud, they seem difficult to eliminate. This survey, prompted by current round of regulation and controls, revisits the spreadsheet in commodity trading to discover how widespread and pervasive they are and why.
This presentation explains Information Governance. Learn what it takes to improve the value of information, manage information risks, and reduce information costs.
Despite having been one of the first industries to use data processing on a large scale, insurers have acquired a reputation of lagging technologically over the past decades. However, recent innovations around Big Data and analytics allow insurers to reassert themselves as leaders.
To gain greater insight into future changes in the insurance industry, the EIU surveyed over 300 executives at life and property/casualty insurers.
As businesses generate and manage vast amounts of data, companies have more opportunities to gather data, incorporate insights into business strategy and continuously expand access to data across the organisation. Doing so effectively—leveraging data for strategic objectives—is often easier said
than done, however. This report, Transforming data into action: the business outlook for data governance, explores the business contributions of data governance at organisations globally and across industries, the challenges faced in creating useful data governance policies and the opportunities to improve such programmes.

Tip 3: Go hosted – outsource in the Cloud
Cloud has been endlessly hyped in the last few years and people talk about it like it is a destination – it’s not it’s just a different way of doing things you’re probably already doing – but it does offer a lot of advantages
Properly engineered cloud based services are more effective, more flexible, better value-for-money and normally more Green than on-premise alternatives.
In the cloud normally means a couple of things – it means building the service in the network and it normally means building it on virtualised platforms.
Today’s network based data centres offer far higher levels of resilience, power efficiency, security and connectivity than most businesses could afford to build in their own estates
The very fact that these services are in the cloud means they are more accessible and often this is a key component of creating more geographically flexible systems supporting your workforce
And moving the services to the cloud also moves the responsibility for the underlying infrastructure to the service provider - making your life easier
So re-building your services in the cloud improves performance, at a lower cost and reduces support challenges
We’ve built considerable expertise working with customer to leverage our network infrastructure to create exciting new solutions to their problems
