On the challenges of being a tech vendor IT chief
Demonstrating the business value of IT
Find out what IT chiefs are planning for 2007 in the third annual silicon.com CIO Agenda survey.
Times are still challenging and there is the constant pressure to demonstrate the value of IT to the business but three-quarters of CIO Agenda respondents said they are more optimistic than a year ago.
IT budget growth is either flat or slowly inching upwards on the back big business transformation and legacy modernisation programmes.
Looking at the specific CIO shopping list they are focusing their budgets on mobile, wireless, convergence and compliance-related projects this year. New tech priorities this year include ITIL for better project management and governance and service-oriented architecture (SOA).
The key challenges for CIOs remain the same, however - "cutting through vendor bullshit" and recruiting and retaining talent.
