Survey: CIOs like their jobs

According to a new survey from KPMG and Harvey Nash, 85 percent of CIOs find their jobs fulfilling. The survey surmised that CIOs like their jobs mainly because most of their organizations have increased the IT budget, and because compensation is high. CIOs were much less positive about their outsourcing experiences, however. Although 80 percent are outsourcing at the moment, only 10 percent indicated that their original outsourcing goals had been met. On the whole, CIOs were much more satisfied with offshoring relationships; 67 percent said their offshoring relationships had met or exceeded expectations, and 95 percent said their offshoring spending would stay the same or increase. CIOs were also satisfied that business and IT are becoming more integrated, but felt like it would be a long time before they become fully integrated. Other CIO priorities noted in the survey included managing project deadlines, security, managing staff turnover and effective systems integration.
