The Australian CIO Executive Council recently polled 121 top local IT executives to create a snapshot of the state of Australian IT in the midst of the global financial crisis.
The outcome is The New Economics of IT, a special report conducted by the Australian CIO Executive Council and CIO Magazine, which examines how Australian organisations are scrutinising their technology spending as they respond to the weaker business environment.
Some of the results of this exclusive research are encouraging, others surprising, but one thing is certain: this is information that no Australian senior IT professional can afford to miss.
