February 2017 by Christian Steven Software
New research from Christian Steven Software reveals that over half (55%) of c-suite executives consider data security as one of their top three concerns in 2017.
A new survey of more than 500 c-suite executives across Europe and the United States found that over half (53%) are concerned about competition from disruptive businesses. However, nine in 10 (91%) said that they are hopeful about the future of technology in their businesses.
Christian Ofori-Boateng, CEO of ChristianSteven Software said:
"Our study allowed us to take a close look at the business and IT concerns that top executives are focused on, allowing us to provide the best BI reporting.
"We learned that even during these times of political and economic uncertainty and technology, American and European executives are cautiously optimistic. Some fear competition from a new market disruptor or automation but most are hopeful about the role technology will play in their businesses moving forward."
Additional findings from the ChristianSteven Software BI Report include:
• Half (51%) of executives surveyed rate gaining or retaining clients as their top business priority for 2017
• Six in 10 (59%) of executives are not concerned that increased automation will threaten their businesses
• Almost nine in 10 (88%) of those surveyed are hopeful about the future of technology in their business
