The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mulesoft.com\/lp\/reports\/it-leaders-insights-pulse-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 IT Leaders Pulse Report<\/a> reveals that almost three quarters (73%) of senior IT leaders agree that acquiring IT talent has never been harder, and nearly all (98%) respondents say attracting IT talent influences their organization\u2019s technology investment choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also shows that today\u2019s IT leaders are using technology to create more people-centric experiences for their employees and customers. The majority (86%) of senior IT leaders now say the experience an organization provides its employees and customers is as important as its products and services, and four out of five respondents agree that improved customer-facing (86%) and employee (85%) technologies are critical for their organization to compete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShifting economic headwinds are making technology even more fundamental to success across every part of the business, including sales, service, marketing, commerce, and IT,\u201d said Matt McLarty, Global Field CTO, MuleSoft. \u201cAs IT leaders struggle to fill roles to support this additional demand, the traditional playbook is in question. Today&#8217;s IT leaders must look instead to broader, company-wide process improvements, through automation, that foster innovation, enhance user experiences, and drive efficient growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large prevent-download\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"64821-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=664\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg 664w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=300&amp;h=205 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=264&amp;h=181 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=500&amp;h=342 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=150&amp;h=103 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=282&amp;h=193 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div id=\"64821-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large prevent-download\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=664\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg 664w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=300&amp;h=205 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=264&amp;h=181 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=500&amp;h=342 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=150&amp;h=103 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/one.jpg?w=282&amp;h=193 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IT talent acquisition pressures are shaping technology investment decisions&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost nine out of ten (87%) senior IT leaders agree investing in people is hugely important.
