Routine Technology Problems Drive Huge Losses in Productivity for Employees, Companies and Countries
New global survey on "IT Friction" reflects a negative annual impact exceeding $100 billion for Fortune 100 companies alone, potentially trillions in global GDP
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A first-of-its-kind survey of the global workplace reveals that the cost of routine IT issues experienced by workers and businesses has reached crisis proportions, negatively impacting employee and company productivity - and by extension shareholder value and national economic performance - to an extent not previously understood.
Enterprise technology leader BMC Software (Nasdaq: BMC) asked top analyst firm Forrester Research to examine the issue of "IT friction" in the workplace. The result was a global survey and report entitled, "Exploring Business and IT Friction: Myths and Realities."
In response to this workplace crisis, BMC launched BMC MyIT, the revolutionary new enterprise software application that provides personalized assistance to employees experiencing IT issues (see the demo). Major global leaders in the energy and financial services are among the first to adopt MyIT, a move that will allow their employees to take personal control over the delivery of the technology services and information they need - anytime, anywhere, from any device.
