Security Tops Year's List of IT Priorities

摘要

Security is the number one IT priority this year for manufacturers, including chemical firms, according to Gartner business unit Dataquest's (San Jose, CA) annual survey of IT executives. "This is the first year manufacturing organizations deem security to be more critical than building on existing IT investments and solutions, such as ERP, or piloting new applications and technologies, such as Web services," says Geraldine Cruz, a Dataquest analyst. The study surveyed IT executives from 35 manufacturing firms.
