More than 300 top IT executives who responded to a recent poll indicated that IT investments that enable business process innovations continue to be a top priority (36 percent in 2011 and 33 percent in 2010), followed by lower business operation costs (25 percent), creating top line revenue growth (21 per-cent),and managing IT infrastructure more efficiently (17 percent). While the top three technologies currently in production - mobile/wireless, server virtualization and ERP - remain the same year-over-year, the results demonstrate a significant increase in the number of participants implementing these technologies, showing additional IT spending. One other technology shift can be seen in investments in storage virtualization which climbed steeply, from 25 percent in 2010 to 45 percent in 2011.
