*Azure, Windows Server 2016 and EMM Events Coming to help solve the Talent Gap*
Some of the same challenges CIO’s face today have been the top challenges of the last four years running. Gartner has released their 2016 Top CIO Priorities and Challenges (http://www.gartner.com/imagesrv/cio/pdf/cio_agenda_insights_2016.pdf) and yet again talent, or lack thereof, tops the list. “Talent has now been recognized globally as the single biggest issue standing in the way of CIOs achieving their objectives.” Topping the talent gap is:
- Information /Analytics
- Business Knowledge Acumen
- Security and Risk Management
“Talent has now been recognized globally as the single biggest issue standing in the way of CIOs achieving their objectives.”
To help combat this talent gap our speakers will deliver relevant content at all of our upcoming events. Registration (once available will be at): [http://www.technetevents.com/]()
