Business and IT Leaders Diverge on Cloud and Security Priorities

 

Enterprises are preparing to expand their cloud investments, even as many remain dissatisfied with the financial returns of recent technology deployments, according to a new report from Unisys.

The study, which surveyed 1,000 C-suite and IT executives across eight global markets, highlights a widening disconnect between business leaders and technology teams on priorities for cloud, AI, and security. 

Less than half of the 300 business executives surveyed said they were pleased with the return on investment from cloud, automation, and generative AI projects. 
Still, more than 75% of respondents said their organizations intend to increase cloud spending this year. 
Unisys suggests this optimism may be undermined by outdated systems and processes. 
“Organizations are still operating on outdated foundations and processes,” said Manju Naglapur, SVP and GM for cloud, applications, and infrastructure at Unisys. 
To unlock true value, he added, companies must modernize infrastructure, align IT and business priorities, and adopt proactive cybersecurity strategies.
