Last year this survey began with a claim that databases are arguably the foundation of most businesses and, in 2013, the database is becoming more important to the folks on the top floor. Business leaders are finding the best opportunity to make the needle move on key business metrics is to leverage the volumes of richer data being generated by an enterprise.
InformationWeek is conducting a survey on the state of database technology in the enterprise. The results of the survey will appear in an upcoming issue of InformationWeek as well as an in-depth report.
This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. Upon completion, you will be eligible to enter a drawing to receive one Apple 16GB iPad 2 with WiFi valued at $499 from UBM Tech. This survey sweepstakes is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Apple®.
Your responses will remain confidential and will only be reported in aggregate.
To take the survey, simply click here:

| Tuesday, February 19, 2013 | |  | | Chris Murphy | | | P&G CIO: There's A Better Way To Create Software
Procter & Gamble CIO Filippo Passerini is charming, polite, gracious -- and incurably impatient with the status quo. The current target of Passerini's dissatisfaction is the way in which software gets developed to meet the needs of businesses such as P&G.
Passerini describes business software development today as a "hub and spoke." The software vendor pitches what it's selling and what's possible with technology, then a would-be customer tells the vendor what they really need. FedEx, Boeing, BP, Disney, Goldman Sachs, GE -- they all go through the same exercise as P&G, one-on-one with the vendor.
Today, companies such as P&G have a screaming need for better analytics software to help them make sense of their growing mountains of data about sales, supply chains and customers. The conventional hub-and-spoke development model is still driving software innovation, but Passerini isn't confident it will produce the analytical software to meet future needs.
"With the inflection point we are at, in a couple of years it will run out of steam," Passerini said at a P&G event at its Cincinnati headquarters that included those other big technology buyers as well as technology vendors. "The opportunity is now to do something dramatically different."
Passerini stopped short of proposing what replaces today's hub and spoke. "We don't have a solution," he said. "We don't have an answer. That's why we're here."
