One in three jobs disappeared in 2025 because this work is taken over by software or robots. That says Peter Sondergaard, research director at Gartner, at the opening of the conference, IT / Expo this week in USA

.

This is especially true for so-called smart machines, such as drones who can perform a wide variety. at work They can perform both physical and intellectual work. According to Sondergaard drones will be standard part within five years of operational processes in many industries. In addition, he thinks of agriculture, geographical surveys and inspections of oil and gas pipelines. “And then drones just one example of emerging technologies that go far beyond the traditional IT world: they are smart machines.” Already have software on cognitive function that makes it possible to do, to understand texts and various forms of financial analysis of data analysis.

This is accompanied by a further digitization of virtually all work. Sondergaard: “New digital companies need less labor; machines will understand data much faster than humans can. “Next year, organizations will certainly spend $ 40 billion to the further digitization of their business processes.

For CIOs and other managers within the IT this means, according to Gartner, that they need to focus on the opportunities for their organizations, these new smart technologies than on lowering costs, where most CIOs now at more focus. Instead, they are rapid cost reductions through digitization win the confidence of the management to invest in further digitization more. Because that costs in the short term more than it yields, reasons Sondergaard. But those who do not, miss the longer term the boat completely.

It is clear that CIOs come to be within organizations. In an increasingly strong position Research by Gartner among nearly 3,000 CIOs worldwide, shows that 41 percent now report directly to the CEO.
