Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 26, 2002 -- Atlanta based IT Management Partners announced that interviews of world-renowned CEOs reveals that four areas-- security, disaster and recovery, ROI and data-mining-are weighing heavy on the minds of top CEOs today. The interviews were a unique opportunity to canvass the most distinguished CEOs in America today.

The events of September 11th adversely affected businesses around the globe and enhancing security is the number one priority of most CEOs interviewed. What used to be more of a purchasing issue is now something that really needs to guide the fundamental business strategy of their organization. These CEOs have shifted their immediate spending priorities and focus toward security and disaster recovery.

All CEOs interviewed emphasized that they must be testing and improving their business recovery plans immediately. In light of last years events they are certain that disaster recovery expenditures will go up in the long run as well as the money that is currently being spent to test and improve current plans.

CEOs are looking for strategic advice on how to maximize the return on investment of their technologies and how to best use technology to drive their businesses. Most are not aware of any significant enhancements to technology products in software or hardware in the next few years that would drive them to spend unless it was absolutely necessary or there was an exceptional ROI. Most are holding on to much of the equipment from Y2K and will try to get as much out of that investment as possible. Expect most companies hardware purchases to begin in mid to late 2003 to replace the agingY2K hardware.

CEOs interviewed are realizing that they have a tremendous of information available but have mostly used data tactically - to manage operations. Most CEOs interviewed want to focus more on using data strategically to expand the business, to improve profitability, to reduce costs, and to market more effectively.

All CEOs interviewed feel as though they are much more in touch with Technology and the importance it attributes to the success of their companies. They firmly believe that better times are ahead and that they must focus intently on these immediate challenges to achieve growth and profitability in the long run.
