ARMONK, NY - 10 Sep 2009: A new global study of more than 2,500 Chief Information Officers (CIOs), released by IBM (NYSE: IBM) today, reveals that leveraging analytics to gain a competitive advantage and improve business decision-making is now the top priority for CIOs. More than four out of five (83 percent) survey respondents identified business intelligence and analytics – the ability to see patterns in vast amounts of data and extract actionable insights – as the way they will enhance their organizations’ competitiveness.

These results and other insights are detailed in the just-released Global CIO Study 2009, which is the largest face-to-face survey of CIOs ever conducted. The study, titled “The New Voice of the CIO,” represents the insights and vision of CIOs from 78 countries, 19 industries, and organizations of every size. The study reinforces the increasingly strategic role that CIOs are playing as visionary leaders and as drivers of innovation and financial growth.

Check out this article talking about what CIOs see as their top priority going forward, obviously this will depend on a per sector/business area, but it’s always great to see what people are thinking about. I wonder if there was any discussion around cutting costs/integration of IT within the business? I’ll have to see, I’m off to read the study.
