IT risks and technologies

Technology is one of the most important factors driving innovation and business transformation. Not coincidentally, companies that understand the strategic significance of technology have been the most successful at integrating it into all facets of their business. Companies are investing in technology to meet their business objectives and working to create ecosystems that can connect people, information and processes.
