Hardware and software

More than 90 percent of organizations now have some percentage of their systems and applications invested in cloud computing, says CompTIA's Seth Robinson.

Convening a group that isn't focused on insurance all the time helps elucidate pain points and opportunities the sector faces.

Skilled developers, data science and security professionals remain in high demand, putting increased pressure on organizations to offer the benefits, culture and work opportunities that will keep them on board.

The deal helps the firm to add programming tools and tie up with a company that has become a key part of the way it writes its own software.

Forrester Research has identified three EA trends that can help CIOs and IT organizations improve their transformational efforts.

New numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that these roles top IT hiring in the tech sector, while there was a decline last month in such recruiting among 'user' organizations.

CIOs are now pulling in quarter-million dollar paychecks, while the top salaries start at $150,000 and are all geared toward management roles.

Half of the organizations surveyed said existing tools aren’t effective in the cloud and an overabundance of tools makes it almost impossible to prioritize IT and security investments.

But carriers still struggle with hiring IT talent, according to new research from Novarica.

Emerging or re-emerging hot technologies are helping to drive much of the increased spending on enterprise software, which is projected to rise by 11.1 percent in 2018.

Infrastructure- and platform-as-a-service offerings give a big boost to carriers' customer portal and analytics initiatives, Novarica survey finds.

The P&C carrier has found that IT infrastructure investments allow it to support new sources of data, like drones and smarthome devices.

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.

Insurers including AIG, Travelers, Liberty Mutual and CNA have announced new staff in roles that will drive tech innovation throughout the year.

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.

Three-fifths of carrier respondents to a survey say that they are increasing use of cloud as part of larger platform modernization.

Software and services will predominate as technology budgets rise almost six percent.

When moving away from familiar systems and deploying something new, a failure to plan properly could be disastrous.

Fewer than half of programmers are confident in the code they write and run, with 60 percent lacking confidence in the security of their applications, says Joe McCann.
