TOPIC:

A recent study conducted by IBM found that Business Intelligence (BI) and
analytics were top priorities amongst Chief Information Officers (CIOs). The
survey of more than 2,500 CIOs found that 83% cited the ability to see patterns
in vast amounts of data and extract actionable insights as the way to make their
organizations more competitive.

According to the CIO of IBM, Pat Toole, CIOs are investing in BI and analytics
to help them make decisions - at all levels. "In addition, in this challenging
economy, CIOs understand that analytics can be key to new growth markets,
whether it's new ways to manage a utility grid or smarter health care systems,"
said Toole. "Managing and leveraging new intelligence through analytics is
something that today's CIO is pursuing to gain competitive advantage in these
new markets."
