We just received an Email from CIOINSIGHT.

Their focus - CIO’s want better business processes and more productivity from emerging technology.

They conducted a survey of almost 300 senior IT executives – they found that helping the business grow is still the No. 1 driver behind emerging technologies, but at least half of the execs no say reducing costs is becoming a much bigger factor.

Our thoughts…

Over the last year or so, I have been putting a lot of emphasis on Efficiency. I believe that the objective for ‘Every Company’ must be decreased costs, increased service and/or product quality, increased revenues and increased profits. The Email from CIO Insight reflects that thought.

Adding fuel to the fire, they talk about the top goals for adopting emerging technology. Those goals include: Improving business processes; Increasing productivity; Reducing costs; Increasing revenues; Providing new products and services; Ensuring security, privacy and compliance; and Keeping up with competitors.

They found that 70% of the CIO’s responding said that improving business processes was their number 1 objective. It was #1 among companies of all sizes.

I see all of this as evidence that Efficiency is a key business objective.

Your Thoughts…

What are the key objectives this year for your company?
