95% Of Organizations Actively Investing In Technology: Logicalis
Logicalis US, a global technology service provider, has released its annual CIO Report, revealing that 95% of organizations are actively investing in technology to create new revenue streams within the next 12 months. According to the report, which surveyed 1,000 global CIOs, the CIO role is no longer focused on enablement but on shaping business strategy and driving value, with nearly all CIOs regularly reporting to their company's board on ROI. This expanded mandate is heightened by the rapid emergence of new technologies. The report found that almost all organizations are exploring how next-generation technologies can specifically support commercial growth. This trend shows no sign of slowing, with artificial intelligence (95%), machine learning capabilities (93%), and Internet of Things (89%) initiatives among the most widely adopted emerging technologies over the past 12 months. Realizing value from these investments remains a challenge. While 85% of CIOs report growing pressure for technology to demonstrate tangible business impact, many (64%) acknowledge that their next-generation technology investments have yet to deliver anticipated returns. As the gap between balancing investments and realized value intensifies, CIOs remain optimistic about the potential of these technologies. Still, most (93%) tech leaders continue to juggle limited time and resources to ensure better business outcomes. As CIOs consider innovations that support future growth, they must continue to navigate business-critical objectives. Despite unprecedented spending on security solutions, 88% experienced cybersecurity incidents in the last 12 months last year, with 43% enduring multiple breaches raising questions about the effectiveness of security spending. One area where they are beginning to see tangible financial results is through the integration of environmental technologies. Nine in ten (91%) CIOs have realized direct commercial benefits, and over half (53%) report these as significant. With a good track record, it is no surprise that those investing in environmental sustainability initiatives have risen from 92% in 2023 to 95% over the past 12 months. 'For almost every business, technology has become the primary engine of innovation, growth and resilience,' said Jon Groves , CEO of Logicalis US. 'With this dependence comes a new expectation of CIOs. They are no longer just enablers of business strategy but drivers of commercial success. Whether through maintaining a keener focus on ROI from next-generation technologies, optimizing security spending or maximizing the financial benefits of sustainability initiatives, technology leaders need to seek out the right investments and partnerships that can help them deliver on their business goals.' While most CIOs are confident that their IT spending is yielding a return, many (91%) believe there is room for improvement. As challenges around complexity, resources and performance visibility remain, the report highlights the importance of fostering strong technology partnerships to help CIOs meet this changing landscape, alleviate pressures and unlock value. Additional findings on innovation include: 94% agree the CIO role is becoming a key part of shaping business strategy and direction 94% report their organization is exploring how next-generation technology can support their commercial growth 94% of CIOs are actively seeking opportunities to incorporate AI into their business, compared to 89% last year 86% report growing pressure within their organization to ensure ROI from AI Additional findings on sustainability include: 95% say their organization is increasing their investment in environmental sustainability initiatives and/or technologies, compared to 92% last year 94% think IT is core to the success of their 'organization's sustainability goals, compared to 93% last year 93% report their organization set clear targets to reduce the carbon emissions from our IT environment, up from 89% last year Report Methodology At the end of 2024, Logicalis commissioned independent market research specialist Vanson Bourne to interview 1,000 business and IT professionals across EMEA, APAC, US and South America . Only respondents with over 250 employees with involvement in digital transformation and cloud computing within their organizations were interviewed. The 2025 report marks the 11th consecutive year Logicalis has undertaken this study. 0 0

ARK Wealth transforms market volatility into strategic gains with its innovative Anti-Fragile Framework
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Advertisement In an era defined as much by geopolitical upheaval as by technological disruption, global markets are recalibrating at an unprecedented pace. The return of Donald Trump to the White House has accelerated a more aggressive iteration of America First policies, reshaping trade, regulation, and investment strategy with little warning. Tariffs are being deployed unpredictably, supply chains are once again in flux, and companies reliant on cross-border stability are forced into constant adaptation. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is redrawing competitive lines in real time. Recent advances in reasoning models have proven that no stock is truly blue-chip. At the same time, a policy shift on digital assets has fast-tracked Bitcoin's transition to a legitimate portfolio asset. But while the U.S. embraces deregulation, Europe is tightening controls, meaning investors managing cross-border portfolios face a constantly shifting reality. This unpredictability is fueling turbulence that goes beyond traditional risk. In its latest CIO Report, ARK Wealth, a premier wealth management firm serving global Chinese high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), highlights how the execution of these broad policy shifts is leading to a transformation in investor philosophy. In short, volatility demands a new approach, one that prioritizes stability, resilience, and long-term planning over short-term speculation. From Traditional Investment To Wealth Preservation Advertisement ARK Wealth is at the forefront of this evolution. Launched in 2024 as the overseas wealth management arm of Noah Holdings, the wealth manager's approach departs from the traditional, sole pursuit of high returns in favor of a structured, multi-layered strategy designed to build resilience across generations. The core of this philosophy is what the firm calls its anti-fragile portfolio framework, a disciplined approach that balances wealth preservation, financial stability, and selective exposure to high-growth opportunities.
