Modernization dilemma: IT insights and challenges

IT leaders know they need to modernize their organizations to keep pace with competition – but knowing how to go about doing that when there are so many new technologies and trends can be overwhelming.

To gain a better understanding of what IT leaders are focused on when it comes to modernization – and what keeps them up at night – Rocket Software, a global technology leader that develops enterprise software for some of the world’s largest companies, conducted a survey of nearly 300 U.S.-based IT directors and vice presidents in companies with more than 1,000 employees.

These IT leaders described their current IT stressors, their approach to modernizing their IT infrastructure, and how they plan to become more efficient and optimized in the years ahead.
