New Jersey IT leaders had a tougher year than their U.S. and global peers in terms of budgets and responsibilities according to executives from Harvey Nash USA today comparing regional New Jersey data to global and U.S. results from the Harvey Nash CIO Survey 2010.
More than 35 IT executives from New Jersey-based firms attended the CIO Survey Launch networking reception in Princeton hosted by Harvey Nash USA and PA Consulting.
From weathering larger budget cuts than their peers to managing smaller increases for those that did see budget growth, NJ IT leaders experienced substantial financial constraints in 2009. Yet despite the limitations, NJ IT leaders expressed optimism, in line with their U.S. peers, about their strategic influence on the business, and they reported more frequently than their U.S. peers their IT departments are well integrated with the business.
"New Jersey IT leaders are a focused, resilient group. As they continue to cut costs, they also are looking for ways to merge and grow the business. These sought-after leaders will help this region rebound," said Robert J. Miano, president and CEO, Harvey Nash USA.
Anna Frazzetto, vice president of technology solutions, Harvey Nash USA, led a panel discussion on IT trends and issues with Chris Nuttall from PA Consulting, a survey sponsor. Joining them were Bill Leo, former CIO for Oliver Wyman, a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan, Jon Harding, CIO from Conair and John Repko, Corporate SVP and CIO at Covance.
