Inside the Mind of a CIO
Posted by John Bruce on Thu, Jun 24, 2010
Excellent recent webinar by Jennifer Beck at Gartner, entitled “The CIO Mindset”. They surveyed their clients, pretty much a who’s who of corporations, to figure out what’s keeping CIOs awake at night. In general terms, no shocking revelations, they discovered the top three concerns are; Improving Business processes, Reducing Enterprise costs and Increasing the use of information/analytics.
As a vendor who can confidently demonstrate we improve business processes, reduce enterprise telecomm costs by over ten percent and provide analytics to help users drive their businesses more efficiently, the report was well received. It went on to call out the areas of most interest in improving the overall economics of IT and immediately after the hot topics of virtualization, cloud computing and Web2.0 was Networking, voice and data communications.
Good company news all round. USA and England both qualified for the final sixteen and the Socceroos almost pulled off an upset. Every office is happy.
