The US point cloud and big data, Italy is still a building site … – Il Sole 24 Ore

According to the 50 American managers surveyed by Nomura Holdings for the 2016 edition of its CIO Survey, the spending budget in technologies will grow this year by only 1.2%, compared to 3 , 1% last year. An obvious decline, then, that will be partially redeemed in 2017, when investment should mark a year on year increase of 2 percent.

projections that may not accurately reflect the intentions of IT managers on an international scale, but which allow us to figure out where (and how ) Chief Information Officer will allocate the resources available to them in the next 12/24 months. The priorities highlighted by the study, in this sense, does not represent a novelty. Big Data Analytics, cloud computing and security are the voices that characterize the expenditure cycle of the 2016/2017 biennium. And is security, in particular, the true driver of IT investments to 82% of the surveyed managers.

If these are the intentions professed by En US officials, those of Italian colleagues recorded the “CIO Survey 2016 “, made by Netconsulting cube (on behalf of Capgemini Italy, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Tim) involving about seventy private realities, reflect the state of” work in progress “that characterizes the metabolization of the digital transformation process within companies of the Peninsula. A process whose works are still going forward leaning on pillars known as mobile, cloud, big data, social and Internet of Things.

the key aspect of the matter however, is not linked to specific technology: to achieve the objectives they serve it figures able to change imposed by digital with a wider vision. The IOC, in short, has to learn to play a different role than in the past, opening up much more to the other organization’s management figures, starting with the CFO and CMO, namely the perpetrators of the finance and marketing. A principle of “sharing” of the business functions that recurs from time and whose “disruption” brought by digital by nature characterized by different forms (technological, organizational, relational, and so on) has accelerated the implementation time.

in 2016, further highlights the study, the “disruption” factor will continue to be the main challenge for companies. Among the many findings we discover for example that 31% of Italians surveyed the digital transformation IOC help you make better and more efficiently what has been achieved so far, while 14% will give access to new markets. Over half of the sample also thinks that the impact of digital technologies will create new business models, and are almost gone (they are 3%) CIOs who consider them as totally irrelevant.

So in a period of “work in progress”, and it confirms the fact that only half of the panel under study spoke of the transformation already underway. the impact will be rather more obvious in 2018. The problem, if anything, lies in the 27% of companies admit that it had not yet prepared a “digital master” and in 15% of companies that has extended to 25% of IT managers, the time frame for action until 2020.

If govern the evolution strategically is a kind of basic requirement to achieve results, the Italian companies, in general, seem to have gotten the message. Also in view of a necessary reshuffle of roles and responsibilities. The implementation of new projects related to digital technologies has in fact led in most cases (50.9%) at the IOC, but equally space have had the chief marketing officer, entered the game in 22.6% of the projects, the “joint committees” (in 13.2%) and directly CEOs (in 7.6%).

According to 72% of the managers surveyed, finally, the top management level of involvement is ( not surprisingly) over medium-high judged, a sign that the way of the role change has been undertaken. With the knowledge that they must develop new skills and to be (at the time) discovered in terms of skill appropriate in some specific fields such as science-date analytics, programming of the mobile and the Internet of Things.
