Steering Organizations Through The New Economy

Sharon Tan, Research Manager. Asia/Pacific Information Management and Analytics, Domain Research Group,

IDC Asia/Pacific

As we move into the second half of a very difficult 2009, many CIO's in Asia/Pacific are still battling with budget constraints, trying to align with volatile business requirements while at the same time having to manage risk and comply with regulations. In parallel, plans need to be made for 2010 in the context of an uncertain economic enviroment. Business Analytics has been one of the key technology areas to move onto the radar to address some of these challenges in the forthcoming year. However, the legacy of low adoption rates, shelf-ware, and failed DW projects persist. Despite this, both IT and Line of Business executives have seen the beginnings of real value derived from some of these projects - particularly from the office of the CFO, where performance management solutions are starting to deliver tangible benifits in terms of operational efficiency. This presentation will look at the new market realities, what these mean for the CIO and LoB executives and how the new information revolution will enable more progressive organizations to 'compete on analytics' in the new economy.
