TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Info-Tech Research Group, a global leader in IT research and advisory, has announced the launch of a transformative suite of resources for IT leaders and their departments looking to move beyond reactive operations and toward strategic, measurable outcomes. Called IT Playbooks Research Centre, it includes the firm's already popular and previously launched CIO Playbook and now a full suite of four newly developed domain-specific playbooks for Data, Security, Applications, and Infrastructure & Operations.

LIVE 2025 is running from June 10-12 and has drawn thousands of attendees, including top CIOs and IT leaders from across the globe. The release of the IT Playbooks comes as data from Info-Tech's IT Management & Governance Diagnostic reveals that 85% of core IT processes are ineffective across most organizations, a critical issue that leaves teams constantly solving the same problems instead of advancing the business.
