Data analytics, cloud and cyber security are the key technologies for CIOs today – but a fair proportion are looking at artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. That is the primary finding from a study by Trace3, a provider of, well, cloud, cybersecurity, and machine learning software. Never mind that however – the statistics from the study, which featured more than 200 responses from the C-suite, as well as vice presidents and directors, are still of interest. Two thirds (67%) of CIOs polled said technology was a'business enabler', with data analytics the most important category for business transformation, cited by 74% of respondents. Cloud (64%), cybersecurity (63%), and AI (44%) were also frequently cited.
