How CIOs can pay off tech debt and invest in the future

Business technology leaders are being tasked with enabling their organisations to innovate, a demand that has increased in importance as a result of the global pandemic. However, maintaining existing systems is consuming over half of the budget that CIOs and CTOs are responsible for, preventing that innovation. A major study finds technology debt, mostly as a result of code, is slowing business performance and with technology stacks, mobility and cloud computing and sprawl, technology debt has the potential to grow.

This discussion will explore:

• Business performance
• Innovation demand
• Capex and Opex priorities
• Causes of technology debt
• How the pandemic demonstrated the issues of tech debt
