Enterprises are at the crossroads of a rapidly evolving customer and business landscape, where technology is not just an enabler but the cornerstone of strategy. These changes have positioned CIOs as key figures in driving transformation to enhance shareholder value and foster growth. While this shift opens new doors, it also presents challenges such as technology debt, rising costs, and cybersecurity and talent gaps. CIOs are aware of how legacy systems struggle to meet modern business and compliance needs, emphasizing the alignment of data management with strategic goals. As digital capabilities shape outcomes, tech leaders must ensure collaboration among business and technology teams to achieve a cohesive technology strategy.
