The vital importance of professional IT and data management

An online survey of 1,100 employees in Germany has shown that IT disruption is part of day-to-day reality in many companies. In fact, 57% of respondents claimed that IT-related disruption in their company was getting worse.

In addition, 35% of the solutions put in place are only temporary fixes. Over the long term, this raises the risk of errors creeping into company data.

While new technologies offer a route out of this quagmire, 56% of employees reported feeling stressed by technical developments. This is due, in part, to the fact that two-thirds of companies introduce new technologies without providing training.

Balancing act: digitalizing at pace without overwhelming employees

While digitalization offers opportunities, overloading employees remains a risk. So, how can companies manage this tension? A solid foundation already exists, as 63% of respondents see new tools as an asset. Yet, employees still have demands, as 71% believe there is an urgent need for a fundamental cultural shift. Check out our whitepaper to learn how you can manage this balancing act.
