Discover how CIOs overcome trade-offs to unleash digital innovation

What do CIOs and CTOs deliver for the company? If you said “technology,” that’s just the beginning. In a recent research study, McKinsey found that 94% of CIOs and CTOs interviewed said they were essential for at least two of the three most common CEO priorities—revenue acceleration, improved agility and time to market, and cost reduction.

IT modernization - including migrating to the cloud - is key to business growth and agility. Yet, according to a recent McKinsey study, 80% of CIOs report that regardless of their level of cloud migration, they still haven’t reached their projected agility and business benefits. Sometimes, this is because of issues like training and skills gaps in the IT workforce. Surprisingly often though, the barrier to reaching the goals is based on trade-offs that CIOs themselves feel they must make to strike a balance between the perfect and the possible.

But what if you could have it all without the trade-offs? Many of the compromises CIOs make can be avoided with new technology, modern architectures and by encouraging a transformation mindset across the business. In interviews, CIOs explained how they’ve leveraged the best of the cloud without compromising on security, agility, and flexibility. Regardless of your current cloud adoption level, check out these resources to discover how you can drive agility, avoid unnecessary trade-offs, and prepare your team for the cloud.
