A study into the key challenges faced by UK IT decision makers

Professional technology is evolving. How does it impact your business?

The 2018 Powering Potential Study explores the key challenges faced by IT decision makers and offers insight into the ways technology impacts business. Get your copy.

Recently commissioned by Cogeco Peer 1, the Powering Potential Study questioned 150 IT decision-makers working across several industries – financial services, retail, higher education, business services and media – looking into the real value of service and the extent to which technology can liberate or restrict a business.

The survey revealed that more than half of organisations struggle to keep up with new advances in tech. It also revealed that 85% of respondents believe that their organisation would see faster business growth if IT vendors were less restrictive, and 8 in 10 think their company is not currently running the optimum IT system.

Susan Bowen, VP and General Manager EMEA at Cogeco Peer 1 said: “Our findings clearly highlight the enormous challenge to those working across a wide range of industries – professionals are quickly realising they must stay ahead of the curve in order to succeed. And for an IT vendor looking to ingratiate itself with a business, it must act as much more than a provider of infrastructure services. Only when it operates as a trusted partner can it add that invaluable level of extra service.”

Findings from the Powering Potential Study revealed three key concerns:
