2008 FEI Survey

Tenth Annual Technology Issues for Financial Executives Survey has been published and it cites Information Integrity as the most critical issue for financial executives.

• “Improving data quality/Information Integrity,” a new selection choice added to last year’s survey, retained it’s position as the most pervasive critical technology concern with about 42 percent of respondents considering it a critical technology issue. A new choice added this year, “achieving the expected benefits from IT investments,” took the number two position with 34 percent of respondents rating it as a critical issue. 

• Seventy percent of all respondents believe that their current level of Information Integrity is negatively impacting their organization’s ability to achieve its business objectives. Fewer than half of the respondents have formal, ongoing programs to monitor and report on Information Integrity.

• Over 75 percent of respondents, up from 70 percent last year, have programs planned during the next year to improve their Information Integrity, and these programs often include multiple initiatives.
