The growth in digital transformation efforts is driving the need for more CDOs. Forrester Research looks at how strategy, governance and execution separate the best from the rest.

Software and application developers were cited as the number one most in-demand job role by employers last month, according to the latest BLS numbers.

While there has been a great deal of hype around the technologies that make up AI, that will change to action this year according to Gartner analysts.

Business users can more easily learn to use and benefit from modern analytics and business intelligence tools, enabling them to take the lead role in this area by 2019, says Gartner.

AI promises to disrupt insurance and to provide major competitive advantage. The result is a flood of investments for leading players.

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.
