Discover what digital leaders do to accelerate results
The 2022 CGI Voice of Our Clients presents the findings from our annual one-on-one interviews with nearly 1,700 executives across the industries and geographies we serve. This year 91% of clients report that they have a digital strategy in place. The number who say their organization is producing expected results from those strategies rose to 25%, up from 20% in 2021. Most digital leaders migrate more applications to the cloud and prioritize cybersecurity and automation. As a result, their organizations' financial performance outpaces their less-successful peers.
