Side effect of COVID

More than half of businesses claimed they implemented a strategic shift of their entire business operations to digital over the last year.

Coeus Consulting announced findings from its annual CIO and IT Leadership Survey 2021. The survey of senior IT leaders explored how they have had to urgently prioritise and accelerate programmes during the pandemic over the past 12 months.

Remarkably, over half (53 percent) claimed they were able to implement a strategic shift of their entire business operations to digital and almost three quarters either strongly, or generally agreed, that acceleration helped them to digitalise more of their operations.

Half of organisations were still amid their digital journeys or in the planning stages when they had to re-prioritise and pause non-urgent initiatives to focus on operational continuity during the pandemic. In fact, 70 percent of organisations surveyed prioritised end user solutions (EUS) such as remote working, 52 percent prioritised operational stability, closely followed by cost optimisation (50 percent).
