The initial Business Technology Convergence Index study conducted in 2006 showed that Business Technology Management maturity at the alignment level correlated with superior economic performance. This update, The Business Technology Convergence Index II, which incorporates data from one of the worst economic downturns in our history, shows that organizations with alignment-level maturity in business technology management experienced worse economic performance than that of their industry peers. Under weakened economic conditions, the findings illustrated that maturity beyond alignment and approaching convergence was necessary to exhibit superior economic performance.
