A sneak peek inside the report

  • Cloud Strategy Enters Pragmatic Optimization
    CIOs are shifting from large-scale migrations to ongoing cloud refinement, with 52% modernizing legacy apps and 30% rebalancing workloads across public and private cloud. Cost, sovereignty, and performance now drive placement decisions as cloud enters a continuous optimization cycle.
  • AI Becomes the Dominant Transformation Lever

    AI is the top priority for 79% of CIOs, with automation, AI-generated apps, and cloud modernization leading near-term use cases. Adoption is expanding into core revenue functions—operations, sales, support, and marketing—while custom enterprise LLM development accelerates.

  • Cybersecurity & Talent Pressures Intensify
    Cybersecurity remains a top concern, with over half of CIOs focused on detecting and fighting attacks and ransomware rising sharply. Meanwhile, talent shortages (65%) are now the biggest barrier to execution, reshaping priorities across automation, modernization, and risk management.

  • Platform Spend Shifts Toward Consolidation & AI-Readiness
    CIOs are reallocating—not expanding—budgets, increasing spend on AI-forward platforms like Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and major cloud providers. Legacy platforms face growing “spend less” signals as enterprises reduce vendor sprawl and double down on tools that support AI-driven operations.
