The document discusses bridging the gap between IT managers and users to improve productivity. A survey found users feel IT departments are behind in supporting current working trends like remote working. There is also a disconnect between how IT managers think they are supporting productivity and users' experiences. The document suggests better communication is needed between IT and users, and that users should have more input into technology decisions and strategies to fully realize productivity gains from new technologies and working styles.
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.

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
IT Department Trends: Moving Away from OutsourcingModis
After years of layoffs and hiring freezes, companies are now expanding their internal IT departments due to several factors. There is a growing need for IT talent as software is now integral to all business functions, companies are creating their own software, big data analytics is important, and mobile is a major priority. While outsourcing was once popular to access skills and reduce costs, it now has disadvantages like communication difficulties, compliance issues, and global skills shortages. For companies where outsourcing is not an option, alternatives include competing aggressively for top talent, promoting from within, and working with staffing agencies to fill skills gaps.
Positive Momentum Continues in CompTIA 2Q 2014 IT Business Confidence IndexCompTIA
The CompTIA IT Industry Business Confidence Index continued its upward trend in Q2, marking the third consecutive quarter that information technology (IT) industry executives expressed optimism about business prospects. The index also suggests there is pent up demand among IT firms to increase their workforce. One-third of companies surveyed said they are understaffed, while 42 percent said they are fully staffed, but want to hire in order to expand.
A new kind of industrial revolution is upon us, as digital technologies redefine business strategy and operational execution. Executives are under pressure to innovate and make smart investments in game-changers like the Internet of Things (IoT), mobility, cloud computing and analytics. Challenges remain, such as talent issues, data security and more. And while some industries are embracing a transformation agenda – redefining core processes and creating new business models for competitive advantage – others are lagging behind. What can executives do to stay at the forefront of the digital operations revolution?

Ever increasing complexity is holding back digital transformation efforts and restricting cloud adoption. Reducing complexity and increasing security is high on the agenda for CIOs and businesses in Singapore.
Nearly 90% of IT professionals feel that increased infrastructure complexity has affected their role in the last 3-5 years. Cloud computing and mobility are seen as the most important technologies for investment, and information security is the IT role that needs to adapt the most. While most IT professionals feel confident providing strategic guidance, only a third are completely confident and the majority only get occasional opportunities to provide guidance. Additional training in their areas of responsibility and a better understanding of the business are most needed for IT professionals to feel more empowered.

The document summarizes the results of a survey of 100 IT leaders in Sweden about challenges with combining agile development methodologies and IT service management frameworks. Key findings include:
- Many companies face issues with misalignment between development and operations teams and processes like change management.
- Successful companies focus on collaboration, communication, and including all teams in end-to-end delivery rather than focusing internally on methods.
- There is a perceived gap between IT operations and business needs that impacts time to market and quality when agile methods are adopted without including operations.
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 State of Canadian Technology Adoption and the IT WorkforceCompTIA
The information technology industry knows no borders. To paint a more complete picture of enterprise IT and the IT employment landscape, we surveyed business executives and IT managers in 10 countries on a variety of topics - from their organizations' tech spending and security to their thoughts on the IT skills gap. Here's a look at what Canadian businesses have been up to in 2013, and what's in store for the future.
Nearly half of IT professionals surveyed indicated that additional training in their areas of responsibility would empower them to provide more strategic guidance to business decisions. Around a third felt they were already confident in this role, while another third wanted a better understanding of business operations. Infrastructure complexity was found to have greatly impacted most IT roles in the past 3-5 years. Data analytics and security were seen as the skills most important for the future.
The document discusses bridging ICT gaps and unlocking the full potential of women. It notes that 60% of jobs for 5-year olds may not exist currently and by 2015, only 10% of jobs will not require e-skills. Unlocking women's potential is important for economic growth. The European Centre for Women and Technology promotes getting more girls and women involved in ICT education and careers through projects, resources and events. More gender diversity in leadership is needed across industries.
The document discusses the World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) and its major events. WITSA is a global consortium of 81 ICT industry associations representing over 90% of the global ICT market. Its two major events are the biennial World Congress on IT and the annual Global Policy Action and Trade Summit. The World Congress on IT is a premier global conference that has been held since 1978 in various locations and brings together over 2,000 industry leaders. It focuses on facilitating business partnerships and discussions around the role of ICT in society and the global economy.

For today’s firm, change is constant. The ever-evolving realities of the profession inspired Wolters Kluwer to explore two major questions in our 2014 Accounting Firm Preparedness Survey. First, what trends will have the most significant impact on accounting firms and their clients over the next five years? Second, how well prepared are accountants to take advantage of these trends?
1) Flexible IT policies play a major role in employee satisfaction and retention. Employees with access to flexible policies like telework and social media report higher satisfaction and are less likely to plan to leave their employer.
2) Employees expect work technology to be on par with their personal technology experiences, but report their work technology is often outdated, slower, and less user-friendly. Addressing basic IT issues like speed and support is important.
3) Employees are driving technological change in the workplace as they transfer their consumer technology experiences. Many expect to use similar tools at work and home.

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.
The document summarizes the key findings of Accenture's 2015 Mobility Research study, which surveyed executives about digital technology adoption and trends. The research found that while companies have made progress adopting digital technologies like analytics and mobility, many still face challenges to broader deployment, such as security concerns and lack of unified digital strategy. The study also found a potential link between companies' digital adoption approaches and their relative profitability compared to competitors.

IT plays a key strategic role for small and midsize businesses. While IT faces challenges around budgets and talent, it must prepare the business for digital transformation and ensure all parts of the business have necessary tools. The survey found top priorities are growth and customer experience. However, scaling for growth is a major challenge, especially for providing availability and security. Successful IT integrates with all business functions to improve processes and experiences. Larger businesses have progressed further in digital transformation through technologies like ERP and AI. Smaller firms must also invest in foundational technologies to remain competitive.
The document is a research report about digital transformation in professional services firms. It provides an introduction and overview of key findings from a survey of 136 business executives and decision-makers at professional services firms. The report finds that 73% of professional services firms have low digital maturity, with most rating themselves a 1 or 2 on a 5-point digital maturity scale. It also finds that improving client experience and operational efficiency are the top goals of digital transformation initiatives. Only 12% of surveyed firms report having completed a digital transformation.

in
Terms
of
the
Importance
of
Maintaining
a
High
Skill
Level
Among
IT
staff
Keep
in
mind,
many
emerging
technologies,
such
as
cloud
or
mobility,
are
important
to
businesses,
but
it
may
not
yet
be
the
highest
priority
to
ensure
a
high
level
of
IT
staff
exper'se.
As
businesses
move
along
the
adop'on
curve
and
engage
in
more
advanced
uses
of
cloud
and
mobility,
staff
exper'se
in
those
areas
increases.
Addi'onally,
in
some
areas
such
as
security,
businesses
may
rely
on
outside
experts
for
guidance,
so
building
internal
skills
could
be
a
lower
priority.
