Back to basics? A study conducted by the firm Censuswide, for the specialist of third-party application maintenance Rimini Street, suggests a fairly traditional return of IT priorities: cybersecurity and risk management, compliance and cost reduction. Asked about their short-term technology roadmap, the 4300 CIOs, RSIS, CEOs and DAFs, participating in the study and working all over the world, raise imperatives to adapt to the changing cyber, geopolitical and economic context, each of the above-mentioned priorities thus receiving between 39 and 44% of responses.
AI : a major priority… but at 5 years
For Rimini Street, these priorities are explained by the risks that managers perceive: cyber risks of course (cited by 54% of respondents), but also of breaks in the supply chain (52%), regulatory changes (50%) or even reversal of the economic situation (48%). In order to mitigate them – a will displayed by 100% of respondents! -, executives say they invest in their business continuity plans, in the implementation of alternative sources of supply, but also in the increase of their workforce.
After these short-term adjustments, respondents point to automation and AI as their priority at five years, 46% of CIOs and 43% of CEOs make them their #1 imperative at this time. “More than a third (35%) of respondents say they want to turn their organization into a data-driven company during this period,” said Rimini Street.
