In the wake of COVID-19, businesses responded to significant challenges and deep uncertainty by driving more ambitious agendas on tighter timelines than ever before.
Organisations took bold steps forward into a digital-first landscape starting in 2020, and they’re striving to extend that trajectory into 2022 and beyond. However, challenges remain — ranging from talent shortages to supply chain disruption — and these roadblocks can impede operations and hinder strategic transformation.
To deepen our understanding of what lies ahead, we commissioned IDG to survey 400 IT leaders about post-pandemic marketplace and organisational shifts in our annual progress report, the Insight Intelligent Technology Report 2022: IT Ambitions for Business Transformation. Their responses reveal how they’re adapting to internal challenges, external disruption and new digital transformation goals.

At a time when every business is a technology business, IT teams are asked to do more, and every digital transformation initiative is a major priority. Accelerating innovation while navigating internal and external roadblocks requires a holistic approach to the IT ecosystem — and enterprise leaders agree that they can’t execute that approach without help.
That’s why 95% of respondents indicate their organisations will rely on third parties to shape their business transformation strategies, and 89% expect the volume of IT projects offloaded to a partner to increase over the next 12 months.
