Digital transformation is shaking the IT industry to its roots, and CIOs are reacting by strengthening their stakes in several promising new technologies while pulling back investments in other sectors.
A recent Gartner survey, "2019 CIO Agenda: Secure the Foundation for Digital Business," identified several digital transformation technology areas that are experiencing strong enterprise investment support and a handful of sectors that are either languishing or retrenching.
Digital transformation is a rebalancing act, the survey of over 3,100 CIOs in 89 countries reports. "Digital business hinges on sound IT, combining new, disruptive technologies." It also involves taking a close look at allocations in tech areas that no longer seem as bright as they used to be.
