How does your enterprise currently approach software development?

We don't have a structured approach—software development happens reactively when problems arise. We have basic in-house capabilities, but struggle with talent retention and scaling. We partner with external vendors for most projects, with some internal oversight. We have a strategic software development roadmap aligned with business goals and strong internal + external partnerships.

How clear is the connection between your software investments and measurable business outcomes?

We rarely measure ROI—software is seen as an IT cost, not a business investment. We track some metrics, but struggle to connect software projects to revenue or efficiency gains. We measure key metrics like cost savings and operational efficiency, though inconsistently. We systematically track business outcomes (revenue growth, cost reduction, customer satisfaction) tied directly to software initiatives.

What's your biggest challenge with software development right now?

Finding and retaining skilled developers, plus competing with larger tech companies for talent. Integrating new software with legacy systems without disrupting operations. Securing adequate budget and demonstrating clear ROI to leadership. Managing change adoption and ensuring stakeholders stay engaged throughout projects.

How ready is your enterprise to innovate through software in the next 12 months?

Not ready—we're focused on maintaining existing systems, not innovation. Somewhat ready, but we lack a clear innovation strategy or dedicated resources. Ready—we have identified opportunities and are planning pilot projects. Fully ready—we have a strategic roadmap, budget allocated, and leadership alignment for rapid innovation.
