Despite being the number one investment priority of CIOs today, few say they have reached a level of maturity in their data management efforts.

IT leaders must be prepared to groom new hires to help them understand and unlock business value from analytics, says BCBS exec.

Worldwide IT spending will reach $3.7 trillion this year, with the primary drivers of growth being projects in digital business, blockchain, the IoT, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

A new study out from CareerCast reports that those three job occupations have hiring outlooks of 21 percent, 18 percent and 17 percent respectively.

One in three business leaders believe their company will need to further invest in artificial intelligence over the next 36 months to keep pace with competitors.

Artificial intelligence, the IoT, cloud computing and cryptocurrencies are among the technologies that will dominate new IT investments, according to the researcher.

Organizations are rapidly adopting the technology to drive business opportunities, but the pool of experienced workers remains limited for the moment.

Organizations continued to have great need for infosec and DevOps talent, but there was little gain for data processing professionals in September.

Showing only modest gains is the data center systems area. Gartner expects that sector to see a 1.8 percent increase in spending, up from 1.7 estimated growth in 2017.

To meet the challenge, CIOs must understand both what will be expected of them, and what they truly aspire to be, says Gartner's Peter Sondergaard.

Artificial intelligence, intelligent apps, immersive-experience devices among Gartner’s technologies to watch.

Artificial intelligence, followed by digital security and the IoT are the most differentiating technologies, but also among the hardest to hire for, say IT leaders.

Organizations that have been successful with business intelligence are more likely to adopt the tech than their less successful counterparts, says study.

Individuals hoping to give themselves the best shot at a new job in information systems should consider specializing in DevOps, says a new study.

While the emergence of the chief data officer is undeniable, not every role is created equally or set-up for success. Here's how these pros view their own jobs.

Hurricane Harvey serves as a grim reminder of the need for a plan for restoring systems and data access. Here are leading products for enterprise DR, according to Gartner.

Leading organizations embrace information security from the top down, and employees are given the right resources to defend against a breach.

The technology has emerged as the number one top new initiative planned this year among CIOs, who are looking to maintain efficiency and productivity despite restricted budgets.

Nearly half of organizations are adding these professionals to payroll, but perhaps even more sought-after is the CDO.

Following a cyberattack, the things an organization should not do often go overlooked. Company leaders could end up spreading the fire, rather than smothering it, says John Suit.
