A report by BMC Software has revealed that business success is being impacted by a lack of collaboration between IT departments and business decision makers.<\/p>\n

More than four in ten of businesses hold the IT department accountable if something goes wrong during the digital transformation process, despite two-thirds of businesses claiming they don’t ask for advice from the IT department when opting to buy new software to help with their everyday work.<\/p>\n

The most common reasons projects fail were listed by the software firm as misaligned objectives between departments and time pressures to get things done or new technology procured.<\/p>\n

Because businesses are more focused on increasing revenues or reducing costs rather than integrating the technologies into existing infrastructure, things often go awry.<\/p>\n

And because the wider business wants decisions to be made faster than standard procurement processes, they often choose ill-fitting technologies that can be implemented faster, but then are discovered that the wrong software and tools are selected to work alongside existing systems, which means integration\u00a0actually takes longer.<\/p>\n

BMC Software said only 42% of businesses are seeing the positive impact digital transformation has had two years after implementing a strategy.<\/p>\n

After three or four years, this rises to 63%, demonstrating the time-to-value is a lot longer than business execs expect it to take. Such considerations should be better taken into account and discussed with the IT department before spending budgets.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital transformation is not a one-off, unique journey that some organisations are experimenting with,\u201d Kevin Plumberg, editor of the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has become the norm, and companies where IT teams are working closely with the business rather than in silos are better positioned to manage the challenges that inevitably arise.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
