Top topic for CIOs

The digital transformation achieved a breakthrough in 2020. At least that is what the latest research data from Lünendonk on the German IT services market suggests: the turnover of Germany's leading IT service providers increased by 4.9% in 2020, the year of the coronavirus crisis. The reasons for this include high investments in digital topics of the future such as the cloud, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, as well as activities related to these technology topics for the development of data-based business models and process improvements. Lünendonk's data for 2021 and 2022 also shows that SMEs and corporations will continue to consistently invest in the restructuring of their IT landscape and the development of a modern technology stack. The top topics here are IT modernization, cloud migration, software development, Industry 4.0, digital workplace and - as a cross-cutting issue - cybersecurity.
