Abstract
This IDC study presents the findings from our 2008 Canadian Top Executive
Survey, which examined senior business executives' views on ICT' s role in
achieving their organization' s business goals. The Top Executive Survey is
conducted annually and explores a number of topics, including business and ICT
investments and priorities, ICT sourcing and governance, green IT, and the
overall impact of ICT on business activities and achievements. Our study covers
the same topics and provides comparative data from previous Top Executive
Surveys as well as segmented data analysis where applicable.
"Our survey highlights that top executives in Canada recognize the significant
advantage that ICT investments can provide to their organization and that they
expect an increase in the contribution ICT investments will make in driving
competitive advantage. With this increasing importance comes the need to make
ICT strategy a critical component in every company' s overall strategy," says
Vito Mabrucco, SVP Worldwide Consulting, and managing director of IDC Canada.
