ICT Maturity

ITWeb, in partnership with MTN Business, is running a survey on ICT maturity to gain a clear, data-driven understanding of where SA businesses stand in terms of ICT maturity. The survey covers everything from infrastructure and cybersecurity to digital literacy and compliance.

To gather further insights into ICT maturity within respondent organisations, the survey poses the following questions:

How well is ICT integrated into the company’s business strategy?
How effectively is data used for decision-making?
To what extent has the company adopted emerging technologies?

By completing the questionnaire, you’ll contribute to this local research project and stand a chance to win a Takealot voucher to the value of R3 000. The detailed results of the survey, and the prize winner, will be published on ITWeb.
