The pivot to working from home (WFH) proved that enterprise IT organizations could do the unimaginable – and do it quickly and well. Once you realize you can move all your users to WFH in days instead of years, you start to wonder what else you can do quickly.
What digital transformation projects, long considered a moonshot, might turn out to require far more down-to-earth efforts? What new projects become more feasible? If massive changes are possible, how should IT organizations budget for 2021 and 2022?
Tanium partnered with PSB Insights, a global custom research and analytics consultancy, to answer those questions and more. PSB Insights surveyed IT decision-makers (ITDMs) at 500 enterprises. Half were in the U.S. and half in the U.K., distributed across a variety of industries, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. More than half of the respondents are C-level decision-makers.
