By Dennis McCafferty on 2011-09-09


If you had to choose which applications represent the biggest priorities for your organization, what would they be? Business intelligence/analytics? Social media tools? Data management? Mobile management? All of the above? The wealth of options seems endless. Yet, CIOs and other senior technology executives continue to pursue them as they seek to align IT acquisition with their organization’s strategic objectives, according to a recent survey from SnapLogic. BI, for certain, remains hot. But so are other apps, such as those that are Saas/cloud-driven. Also in demand: Tech tools that can help companies better manage the wealth of data-volume growth. More than 110 CIOs and other top executives took part in the research.
