CONCLUSIONS
Volatile industry market dynamics are contributing to Energy CIOs being more pessimistic on their IT budgets compared to other industries. It is therefore not surprising that a strong cost focus, and increasing operational efficiencies are clear priorities for the sector. Similarly, pursuing IT projects that save money in contrast to making money is a key difference for the Energy sector compared to the all-industries average.
Cloud technologies are being pursued to both improve agility and save money, but planned investment is lower than for other sectors.
Energy industry operating models are seriously threatened by digital disruption, with new products and services, and new operating models being the main sources of disruption.
