KPMG’s 2022 global tech report found a resilient, forward-looking attitude among global technology professionals. Companies are enthusiastic about disruptive new tools and determined to further embrace ongoing digital transformation to revolutionize the customer experience.
Digital-transformation triumphs are positioning today’s businesses to face future uncertainty with a confident spirit. In fact, 99 percent of organizations saw an improvement in profitability or performance from their digital transformation investments — branding customer-centric technology strategies as lifesaving tools in today’s business survival kit.
Looking ahead, it will be essential to integrate a modern ecosystem of both internally developed and outsourced technologies such as everything-as-a-service (XaaS — the expanding range of cloud-based tools and services). IT leaders taking advantage of a data-centric operating model have the potential to generate the most value from an XaaS ecosystem. This will take an appreciation of the reality that the IT function is best positioned to keep technology manageable and data trustworthy. All while building future resilience to manage cybersecurity threats and and helping achieve enterprise-wide ESG goals.
