Research: 2012 IT Perception Survey
How IT's Perceived by Business
Remember when the IT department was the group that saved your bacon time and again? Computer crashes that everyone was convinced wiped out precious corporate data turned into miraculous recoveries. Critical applications that suddenly stopped working were just as suddenly revived. Even the ill-conceived, snarky "reply all" email that was deleted before corporate-wide distribution. Windows upgrades, network upgrades, database upgrades, everything upgrades were handled with aplomb.
So what happened?
To find out, we surveyed IT and non-IT professionals about how IT is perceived in their companies. Some of their answers may be surprising: Our data shows a gap between IT's perception of itself as reasonably innovative and effective, and non-IT's lukewarm view. (R5511012)
