| IT enables growth: survey |
March 17, 2008 |
By Peter Wolchak
Canadian executives at mid-sized and large organizations believe IT is the number one growth enabler for their companies. A survey from Microsoft Canada and CATAAlliance found execs look to IT to improve staff productivity and efficiency, however, respondents often identified different priorities for their tech investments. Mid-sized businesses ranked improved access to company/business data as the top consideration, followed by new or upgraded desktop software and new or upgraded intranet and portal software. Enterprises, however, are looking for new communications tools or technology, better integration between offices and better access to company/business data.
From the study:
> 36 per cent of mid-sized businesses are satisfied with their existing IT budget, but 64 per cent say they may expand tech spending in 2008
> for both mid-sized and large businesses, expansion will focus on growing the core business versus diversification or acquisitions
> asked where Canada’s “most exciting” business activity is taking place, Alberta was cited most often, followed by Ontario
