Editor's Notes
- #5 26% of LOB say IT meets with other teams frequently to understand their business and tech needs 75% of LOB wish their IT departments were more proactive in proposing new tools that would help them be more innovative Cloud solutions specifically factor into IT departments’ ability to innovate. When organizations are “majority cloud” (hosting at least 50% of their apps in the cloud v. on-premise), IT staff can spend less time maintaining legacy infrastructure and more time supporting their coworkers’ needs. Feel IT has a seat at the table when exec decisions about innovation are made (82% v. 67%)
- #13 Update coming… aaron.
