The CIO 2015
• IT problems prohibit proactivity: Over half of CIOs lose around 1000
working hours a year reacting to unexpected problems and issues –
application access, data loss and network downtime.
• Growing IT Relevancy Gap: 83% believe adoption of cloud without IT
involvement will continue to increase. Over half fear losing the ability
to control/mitigate the actions of the business unit leaders when it
comes to IT investments/deployments
• Stressed about job security: 82% admit to fearing for their job security,
with 20% stating that unsanctioned cloud causes ‘extreme stress’.

business growth

Enabling Transformation

Who & how bigger concerns than cost:

business strategy

issues CIOs face

Cloud & Transformation
Still not a total solution
Cloud still relies on connectivity via corporate networks…
• 90% of organizations surveyed have some form of cloud deployed
• Over a third of CIOs state that cloud adoption without IT involvement is
not allowed but ‘does’ or ‘may’ still happen
• Top concerns related to non authorised cloud are:
• the impact unexpected demand has on the owned infrastructure,
• inability to manage the network,
• IT distracted by disputes with cloud providers
