3. Why overcoming silos in IT planning matters
96% of organizations rely on disjoint IT management
processes and tools
67% of all Nordic IT decision makers experience failure in
business critical projects because of conflicting interests
Failed projects erode IT budgets by 4-5% p.a., costing
the companies surveyed € 1.8 billion annually.
Nine out of ten CIOs or other IT decision makers do not
have the right equipment to make and execute optimal
strategic decisions aligned with the business.
