Capgemini’s Global CIO Survey has found that two-thirds of IT decision-makers
consider IT to be ‘critical’ in driving business innovation, however in reality
only a quarter think it does in reality.
“For CIOs, managing the balance between cost containment and continuity whilst driving competitive advantage is a constant challenge,” Eric stated.
“As the drive for ‘innovation’, it continues to dominate the business agenda and this is a real opportunity for the CIO to deliver business transformation through the IT function.” Eric continues.
