Business Technology leaders are the people charged with rolling out apps, integrations and automations in their companies. New data finds that 94 percent agree or strongly agree that they are the changemakers and drivers of an organization's productivity and innovation, bringing a unique, holistic view of their organization. They act as digital change agents across all business verticals, including finance, HR, CX, and sales.
