10 common issues we notice CIOs face

Having worked with IBM and now #kyndryl, I often work with CIOs who are looking to improve the performance and reliability of their IT systems. In the process, we frequently encounter a range of issues that can impact the stability and efficiency of the IT infrastructure. Here are 10 common issues we have noticed:

1. Outdated or unsupported technology

2. Lack of documentation

3. Poorly configured systems

4. Limited visibility into the IT infrastructure

5. Inefficient processes

6. Lack of security controls

7. Limited disaster recovery planning

8. Poorly managed software licenses

9. Insufficient capacity planning

10.Incomplete or outdated IT policies

I started in the IT transformation industry over 25 years ago, and I have found that these issues have remained constant over time. With technology and digital transformation shifting in a big way, these are basic hygiene which are needed for any organization to scale rapidly.

As a service provider, we focus on identifying and addressing these issues in a timely and effective manner. CIOs should prioritize issues related to security and business continuity, as these can have the greatest impact on the stability and success of their organization. By addressing these issues, CIOs can ensure the smooth operation of their IT infrastructure and support the overall success of their organization.
