Top priorities for technology investments in 2021-2022
Following several cyberattacks and data breaches, organizations can no longer afford to be careless with their data and infrastructure. As firms use and keep more customer data, cybersecurity has become a primary responsibility for IT departments. In fact, Cloud applications have maintained their position as a top investment, since more software is moved to SaaS platforms and corporations continue to relocate their data storage to giant cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, among others.

Furthermore, while it is not yet a top priority, top performers are more likely than average organizations to invest in external alliances or ecosystems for the purpose of reciprocal value exchange.
