As we start a new year there are many market commentators predicting their top ten focus lists for 2016. We have looked at what people are saying and would like to suggest combining some of these to create what we think is relevant for our clients.
We have looked at Gartner’s “Technology Priorities for CIOs in 2016” but feel that CIOs and IT Managers are more interested in how these impact on their businesses than the technology itself. In 2016 this is more relevant than ever before with Cloud opportunities allowing them to move operational matters to 3rd parties – and allowing them to focus on being closer to their business.
Our top ten is a mix of the Gartner technologies with that of the Society of Information Management (SIM) “Top Ten concerns for CIOs in 2016’”:
- Technology alignment with business
- All Gartner technologies
- Security and privacy
- Security
- Speed of IT Delivery and Time-to-Market
- Cloud (IaaS and SaaS) – ERP, industry specific apps, CRM
- Infrastructure/data centre
- Networking / voice / data communications
- Innovation
- Mobile
- Digitisation/ digital marketing
- Business productivity and efficiency
- BI/analytics
- Mobility
- ERP, industry specific apps, CRM
- IT value proposition to the business
- All SIM
- IT agility and flexibility
- Cloud (IaaS and SaaS) – ERP, industry specific apps, CRM
- Mobile
- Security
- Networking / voice / data communications
- IT cost reduction and controls

In 2016 TeleConsultants will continue to work with our clients to drive ICT and business benefit from the following Gartner technologies: Cloud, mobile, infrastructure/data centre, and networking/voice/data communications. We also understand the value of business information and the ability to deliver ERP, CRM and industry specific applications across businesses. If these are areas you are looking at we are keen to discuss them with you.
