More than 70 percent of CIOs are positive about the business outlook according to the latest major piece of research undertaken by networking organization CIO Connect. However, issues such as governance and cloud computing remain troubling issues on the horizon, the report which surveyed 120 CIOs from some of the largest companies in the UK, North America and Asia, reveals.
On cloud computing there was a clear split in opinion on whether the technology was having a major impact on the way IT was delivered; while 40 percent agreed (12 percent strongly), a fifth disagreed. CIOs in favour felt cloud computing provided a radical proposition, offering huge potential for change because of the arrival of mainstream broadband, virtualization and remote management techniques. Other crucial factors to the success of the cloud included the globalization of the supply chain, a maturing offshore model and a difficult economic climate.
