CIOS SAY IT COULD
BECOME IMPOSSIBLE
TO MANAGE DIGITAL
PERFORMANCE
CIOs appear to be investing
increased amounts of
time and money into
digital performance
issues as a result of rapid
innovation rates. This
is according to a recent
survey commissioned by
Dynatrace which highlights
the key challenges
businesses are attempting
to control and overcome.

D
igital performance management
company, Dynatrace, has announced
the findings of an independent global
survey of 800 CIOs, which reveals that 76%
of organisations think IT complexity could
soon make it impossible to manage digital
performance efficiently. The study further
highlights that IT complexity is growing
exponentially; a single web or mobile
transaction now crosses an average of 35
different technology systems or components,
compared to 22 just five years ago.
This growth has been driven by the rapid
adoption of new technologies in recent
years. However, the upward trend is set to
accelerate, with 53% of CIOs planning to
deploy even more technologies in the next
12 months. The research revealed the key
technologies that CIOs will have adopted
within the next 12 months include multi-
cloud (95%), microservices (88%) and
containers (86%).
As a result of this mounting complexity, IT
teams now spend an average of 29% of
their time dealing with digital performance
problems; costing their employers US$2.5
million annually. As they search for a solution
to these challenges, four in five (81%) CIOs
said they think artificial intelligence (AI) will
be critical to IT’s ability to master increasing
IT complexity; with 83% either already
deploying, or are planning to deploy, AI in
the next 12 months.
“Today’s organisations are under huge
pressure to keep-up with the always-on,
always connected digital economy and
its demand for constant innovation,”
