Technology industry CIO priorities in the new reality

As an industry better described by its sub-sectors, the technology industry continues to experience high-growth as well as diversification in membership.  Many companies in this industry experienced a surge in demand for their products and services, and the near-universal shift to remote working and new interaction models via digital channels led to a significant acceleration in business transformation powered by technology.

In the long-term, many sectors are looking to technology to digitally transform their businesses and achieve strategic goals. At the core, investments for key foundational technologies—such as cloud, modern networks, automation, data insights, and AI/ML—are being made as businesses strive to become digital leaders. But while companies are benefitting from the surge, there are still challenges for a tech sector company, especially linking up their middle and back office functions to improve responsiveness and time to market.
