Organizations of all varieties rely on technology more than ever before. The constant adoption of innovation is no longer a luxury but rather a necessity to simply stay on par in today's fast-paced and competitive digital landscape.
In this environment, IT and security leaders are coming under mounting pressure to show high ROI for innovative technologies. Due to current market conditions, IT teams are short-staffed and suffering from a lack of time and expertise, making navigating these challenges even more difficult.
Cloud innovation leader GlobalDots recently unveiled the results of its 2022 State of Innovation Adoption report.
The key findings in the report highlight all the challenges that organizations experience when it comes to buying innovative tech, as well as the benefits of partnering with third-party experts to assist with purchasing decisions.
To this point, the report showed 92 percent of survey respondents admitted they encounter challenges when buying solutions related to cloud, web, and security.
Moreover, some 34 percent of respondents said the overwhelming amount of options was a challenge when deciding on the right solutions. The report also revealed 33 percent admitted the time needed to conduct research was another challenge in deciding.
"With innovation being a fundamental part of today's business culture, our report reveals and details the most pressing technology issues facing businesses today," said Yuval Rachlin, CEO of GlobalDots.
"We are living in an age of abundance when it comes to tech solutions for organizations, and this makes researching and purchasing the right solutions for your organization extremely challenging," the CEO added.
GlobalDots's report investigated how organizations went about finding support for their purchasing decisions. Conferences, exhibitions, and online events served as companies' top sources of information for making purchasing decisions, at 52 percent.
Third-party solutions, such as value-added resellers and consultancies, came in second place at 48 percent. Some 54 percent of respondents reported already using third parties to purchase, implement, or support their solutions, highlighting the value dedicated experts with in-depth knowledge of every solution across a wide range of IT fields provide.
The survey's respondents consisted of 200 directors to C-level employees from DevOps, IT, security, and engineering departments to provide detailed insights on tech trends and the adoption of innovative technological solutions.
Respondents were recruited through a global B2B research panel, with 66 percent from the E.U., 24 percent from the U.K., and 10 percent from the U.S. Thirty-two percent of respondents came from the software and gaming industries, while the rest came from a wide mix of other industries including healthcare, telecom, and banking.
