Technology continues to revolutionise business

The global pandemic of 2020 has seen digitisation and technology up-take accelerate like never before. The pace of change is unprecedented. So, too, are the challenges, issues and potential pitfalls. On average 45% of IT projects run over budget, with 56% delivering less value than predicted. There’s increased risk of a cyber-attack, which can cripple operations. Businesses are being attacked more frequently, some experiencing five or more cyber-attacks a year.

The risks and challenges associated with technology projects, the technology sector and cyber security can be mitigated with:

  • proper planning
  • risk identification
  • data security protections
  • supplier management
  • governance
  • contract management.
