What do you want to see covered in the Deloitte 2010 CIO Survey?

Last year in Deloitte I ran our inaugural and very successful first CIO Survey. (see http://short.ie/rn2oe2 for more details). We made great use of Social Media tools to generate discussion around the results and I blogged about the success of it here.

We currently planning the 2010 survey and plan to launch it in the next month or so.
The survey is split in two parts, the first part is fixed from year to year so we can map trends and the second part is reserved for topical issues.We are currently considering topics such as Cloud Computing, Green IT and Regulatory reporting in this category. This year we want to reserve one of these topics/trends for the ideas of the IT community in Ireland.

I would like to get your input regarding topics/trends you would like to see the survey cover.

Let me know what you would like to see here - add a comment!

Cloud Computing firmly on the Public Sector CIO Agenda

Cloud Computing is firmly on the agenda of the public sector in the U.S. in an attempt to drive down the costs of their huge IT budget - and Obama is talking about it.

A recently article in SearchCIO on Cloud Computing highlighted efforts being made in the U.S. to drive greater use of cloud computing services. The U.S. Federal CIO Vivek KundraFederal recently launched a website apps.gov to explain, promote and facilitate the procurement of cloud computing services in the U.S. public sector. Through the site, agencies can not only learn about cloud computing, but can also purchase a range of services including Business, Productivity and Social Media Applications.

Here in Ireland we have the same or, arguably, more serious budget pressures in the public sector. The U.S. has provided us with a great example of how to promote innovation in the public sector. A similar approach in Ireland is surely required?
