3 Driving change - a service led transformation Our global survey of CIOs and IT Directors highlighted the struggle organisations are facing to focus on business strategy goals. 57% of European organisations are still spending over 70% of their time on day to day management of technology as opposed to strategic planning and initiatives. But how can you gain back that precious time to spend the ideal 70% of your time on strategic initiatives? Here are a few examples of what you said would help you earn back time to focus on strategic goals. Logicalis Optimal Services portfolio is designed to help you drive IT and business transformation. Our services overview demonstrates how partnering with Logicalis can help achieve the ideal 70% balance to deliver on your strategic business objectives. 65% - streamline and optimise technology infrastructure 82% - deal with a dedicated services company as prime contractor 65% - use a single vendor as a services optimisation partner The common theme worldwide is one of CIOs striving to improve all internal operational processes to deliver greater efficiency across every aspect of IT infrastructure and service operations. But the survey also suggests that CIOs recognise they may have too many service partners today. Service provider sprawl is an issue many CIOs clearly want to avoid or remedy by consolidating on a select number of service partners who can work across the services lifecycle. We predict that business innovation focused on creating a wider variety of solutions targeted at new business opportunities and challenges will drive a profound shift in the role of the IT organisation. Enterprise IT groups cannot afford any longer to be just watching, studying, exploring, or experimenting with cloud services, mobile devices, social technologies, or the other core elements of what we call the 3rd platform...
