Technology is a major expense in the modern corporation and deeply embedded in every aspect of doing business. Moreover, it has become the critical enabler of strategic imperatives - to be agile, resilient and innovative. Using them for advantage in today’s hyper-competitive global economy requires converging business and technology. Convergence can be achieved through certain organizational “constructs,” i.e., management behaviors, which have been identified in research and confirmed in practice. These constructs establish a foundation on which corporations can build innovative business models. In addition, they ultimately yield superior financial performance for the enterprise as a whole.

Released in 2007, the Business Technology Convergence Index was the first study of its kind to introduce a direct correlation between corporate financial performance and business technology convergence. The Business Technology Convergence Index II builds on that foundation with updated data to further reinforce the original findings on the value of convergence, as well as present an interesting perspective on alignment.
