Business Process Improvement & Business Intelligence
Wednesday, February 4, 2009 at 09:40PM Gartner has just released a report that highlights the business and technology priorities for senior enterprise executives. The article can be found here.
Following on from my previous blog post, it's encouraging to see that business process improvement is sitting at the top of the CIO's priorities. What is also interesting is that this has been the top priority since the survey began in 2005. All I can say is that this is generally very different from my own experiences in the industry (with the handful of companies I have work with).
"Senior enterprise executives recognize that IT's contribution to economic performance extends beyond managing expenditures. They expect IT to play a role in reducing enterprise costs, not merely with cost cutting but by changing business processes, workforce practices and information use."
The report also shows that Business Intelligence tops the list as well. This has always been a passion of mine, getting the right information in front of the right people at the right time. That can have a big impact on the success of a company.
I think these will be the key areas of focus for companies in the current financial climate. Doing "more with less", improving business processes and providing timely business intelligence to management will enable companies to become more efficient and survive the current market.
