Inadequate IT systems thwart change
Companies’ IT systems are thwarting their plans for change, according to a survey carried out on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and software company JBA by Tate Bramald. Only 6.5 per cent of the 870 respondents felt that their systems would cope “very well” with change, while 74 per cent felt their systems would either have trouble or would completely fail to cope with change. Meanwhile a survey by Unisys suggests that only 4 per cent of business managers in Europe are satisfied with their IT systems, and that 70 per cent are going to change them.
Research centre Essec polled 160 managers in a range of industries and found that 60 per cent said that they did not get adequate information from their systems.
