Survey: Execs, IT managers don't always agree
According to a survey of 176 corporate executives and 351 IT managers by Harris Interactive for SunGard Data Systems, most IT managers consider disaster recovery and business continuity important or crucial to a business, compared with just under half of business executives. The survey also found that 66 percent of IT managers consider uninterrupted information availability a major priority, compared with 54 percent of business executives. About 43 percent of IT executives blame budget constraints for inadequate disaster recovery systems while only 26 percent of their business counterparts believe disaster recovery costs are prohibitive. Half of business executives listed ERP as a key corporate application compared with 29 percent of IT managers. Both groups agreed that email, back-office applications, customer service and telecommunications are key corporate priorities that would impact an organization's bottom line if shut down.
