What Belongs To The CIOs Agenda in 2016: Prioritize IT Investments

The ever-increasing expectations of customers and the ever shorter innovation cycles have a fundamental reorientation of the IT landscape and the underlying unavoidable control mechanisms. The biggest mover among the technology trends in 2016 compared to previous years is the Design Thinking.

More and more companies use design thinking to target better their products and services to customers. IT budgets are an absolute top priority of CIOs. In 2016, however, the design thinking form the basis of many transformation projects that need to be orchestrated by CIOs.

Business Intelligence and analytics have long been one of the CIOs top priorities, and although new investments press on, it will also in 2016 be number one on the list. In Gartner survey of 2,944 CIOs from 84 different countries, CIOs responded that BI/analytics will be the first place for investment with 50 percent of CIOs had this area in the top three of their investment priorities.

Here are CIOs priorities for investment in 2016, according to Gartner:

  1. BI/analytics (39 percent)
  2. Infrastructure and data center (27 percent)
  3. Cloud (25 percent)
  4. ERP (21 percent)
  5. Digitization and digital marketing (21 percent)
  6. Mobile solutions (20 percent)
  7. Security (15 percent)
  8. Network, voice and data communications (10 percent)
  9. Legacy modernization (10 percent)
  10. Industry-specific applications (9 percent)
  11. CRM (9 percent)

While the mobile solutions and CRM are a lower priority of CIOs in 2016 than in previous years, there are also areas that they now prioritize higher than in the past.

Biggest Challenges

When CIOs asked what their biggest challenges at the moment, the answer is that the lack of the right people and squeezed budgets. Nearly 59 percent of CIOs think we have a decided talent crisis, however, only 17 percent of respondents who actually believes that the lack of the right skills prevents them from reaching their goals.

The survey also shows that more and more CIOs are beginning to work with so-called bimodal IT where one splitter IT organization into two departments. It is done to be better able to work at different speeds and cope with both the traditional operation and the more agile and innovative IT projects.

Cloud Instead of Outsourcing

Traditional outsourcing contracts that promise guaranteed cost savings of 10 to 15 percent per year over a period of 5 to 10 years have become the significant exception. The demand for flexible cloud solutions, which are now also increasingly provided locally and which make it possible to respond to short-term changes in demand through appropriate consumption adjustment.

In the medium term, all new IT initiatives on new technologies such as cloud services, big data and analytics, mobile computing and social media will take priority. In the long term, budgets are increasingly spent on new things that were not feasible on the ancient architectures and technologies. New digital products and services will be in focus. A new information framework will be required to support the product development, delivery, quality, and growth.

By 2018, at least, half of IT spending will be channeled into cloud-based solutions. Without cloud services nothing will go in the future, because cloud forms both the basis for new digital products and services. To meet these challenges, CIOs should rethink their management model. In reality, hybrid cloud landscapes will be implemented that can be used to integrate and management for IT organizations.

DedicatedSolutions Data Center: Adding Value to Your Business

ManagedThe Data Center is one of the main topics of discussion at meetings of IT equipment worldwide. It is crucial for a company to work more efficiently and generate profits as firms rely heavily on an enormous amount of information stored in data processing centers. In this way, organizations are still trying to reduce costs through simplification and improvement of Data Centers.

Initiatives such as migration, deployment and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) are some of the first steps taken by the CIOs to increase the efficiency of data storage on a Data Center. The role of a data center in the designing, deploying and managing services play a crucial role in receiving high-performance results.

The data centers are enormously important in the present day for companies acting as e-commerce and sales, healthcare or any other business that depend on the systems to access patient information. To get an idea of the data center importance, 20% of data stored in data centers in the coming years will be linked to digital patient records. It will enable a surgeon to access information from a patient in the operating room itself or ambulances that have access to accurate data during a rescue.

With each passing year, data center brings many changes, developments and new technologies, especially in the area of storage and servers. For example, to support the new virtual environments found in cloud computing applications, it is necessary that data centers should provide tools and support energy with a dynamic, virtualized environment.

Therefore, the systems and infrastructure of the old data centers do not work as well as the latest facilities. Early systems were designed to a more stable environment, with fewer variation data storage and less scalability. Some early systems also lead to inactivity of a data center due to the following:

  • Human errors
  • lack of standard operating procedures (SOPs), operations maintenance protocol (MOP) and emergency procedures.
  • Lack of preventive measures, including testing and maintenance arrangements
  • Failure conservation or replace the uninterruptible power supply
  • Lack of redundancy, resulting in failures in systems using backups
  • Fault in cooling the data center

The Modern Data Center

The data center is a critical component of any IT department. Therefore, it is essential that data center is designed to deliver services flexibly and dynamically, following the currently required technology and sustainability trends.

Two essential characteristics of a data center are flexibility and scalability. These are necessary for almost all business activities currently online. Therefore, data center projects should be designed with an appropriate infrastructure to support all services and enterprise systems, so that it allows the perfect operation of the center and deliver future growth through adaptation to emerging technologies.

The modern data center infrastructure is designed to increase efficiency through lower energy expenditure, thus optimizing costs and security. These data centers meet some guidelines that the IT team can trust to mitigate system downtime. The service providers should be alert to improve the performance of data centers.

  • Build excellent facilities and establish a computerized maintenance program for each piece of equipment
  • Create a training program teams that define when and how a team should respond to the events of inactivity
  • Institute a quality assurance program that allows operation of local infrastructure as per customer expectations
  • Ensuring the physical protection of the site by building walls, doors and window to provide additional security against natural disasters.

Top 5 Keys to Reduce Your IT Costs With DedicatedSolutions

ManagedOne of the main challenges for any company in any sector and at any level is how to reduce costs. Proper use of the right technology at the right time, can help achieve significant savings in different areas of the organization.

The consolidation of infrastructure, migration of legacy technology and outsourcing services, among others, can reduce or avoid costs in you.

Below are the five keys that help you to reduce IT costs without losing efficiency:

Consolidate and virtualize infrastructure

With the consolidation of your infrastructure, you can harness the power of the cloud. Some of your heavy applications get migrated to our platform when you will get the security and performance required for each load job. Similarly, these platforms provide outstanding scalability for Big Data solutions, because it can search Hadoop in one secure partition, adding virtual machines that are necessary to solve complex problems in real time.

Private cloud

The second key is focused on the migration of your products to a private cloud that offer the experience of all solutions on a single platform, with security features, predictive performance, and scalability. You will get an environment that allows the flexibility of virtualization as standard, with specific resources to improve applications performance.

Outsourcing information

The outsourcing of different processes can optimize existing assets, improve service levels and meet compliance requirements and quality on a provider that delegate some functions and data that is critical or not critical to the business. Our consulting services offer data center and cloud transformation services, planning, design and implementation of data center transformation, automation systems, administration and corporate data storage and servers, among others.

Modernize applications

Customers can get more value from their applications, and take a giant leap in productivity (and savings) to regain control of their suites. Demand for custom applications and real-time responses increases complexity, duplication and encourages a lack of skills evident in many companies. It is better to use models such as SaaS, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) like ours to give a company the flexibility required without incurring the costs associated infrastructure modernization and licenses.

Secure your information

It is important that solutions are characterized by having the best quality of identification, security monitoring and geolocation so that companies can rely on the protection of data and physical assets.
