IDG

This survey was conducted in April 2020 to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting IT leaders' roles, priorities, and their outlook on the long-term effects on IT organizations and businesses overall. 414 IT executives responded, mostly from large US companies. The majority expect social and work restrictions to last over 10 weeks. CIOs are focusing more on cost control, ensuring business continuity, and enabling remote work. Digital transformation and improving the remote experience are top priorities for CEOs. Increasing operational efficiency remains the most significant driver of IT investments in 2020 according to respondents.
