Last month we published 10 Technology Predictions for 2012. We asked for readers to send us their views and also distributed a survey to over 400 clients and associates.
Over 120 people responded, made up of CIO’s, COO’s, Procurement, Technology Change Managers and Subject Matter experts across industries on both the buy and sell side.
Of the responses received, a total of 82% either “Agreed” or “Strongly Agreed” with the predictions. We received a total of 1203 answers to the questions and numerous additional comments.
The responses provided a great insight into the key strategy areas for the coming year. Some common themes were:
- Cloud Computing and the continued Commoditisation of IT scored highest in general agreement.
- Social Media and Cloud Computing generated the highest number of comments and continue to polarise opinion on the maturity and place, particularly within Financial Services.
- Many commented on the current financial constraints within organisations and the impact on the predictions. These were both positive in terms of driving efficiency and negative around funding any change.
