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.
