Logicalis launches annual report based on insights from 1,000 CIOs globallyCIOs’ responsibility is shifting with 95% of organizations investing in tech to create new revenue streamsMany are exploring how emerging technologies can drive growth, despite 64% acknowledging investments have yet to deliver returns91% have realized direct financial benefits from integrating environmental technologies

TROY, Mich., March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Logicalis US, the leading global technology service provider, has released its annual CIO Report, revealing that 95% of organizations are actively investing in technology to create new revenue streams within the next 12 months. According to the report, which surveyed 1,000 global CIOs, the CIO role is no longer focused on enablement but on shaping business strategy and driving value, with nearly all CIOs regularly reporting to their company’s board on ROI.

This expanded mandate is heightened by the rapid emergence of new technologies. The report found that almost all organizations are exploring how next-generation technologies can specifically support commercial growth. This trend shows no sign of slowing, with artificial intelligence (95%), machine learning capabilities (93%), and Internet of Things (89%) initiatives among the most widely adopted emerging technologies over the past 12 months.

Realizing value from these investments remains a challenge. While 85% of CIOs report growing pressure for technology to demonstrate tangible business impact, many (64%) acknowledge that their next-generation technology investments have yet to deliver anticipated returns. As the gap between balancing investments and realized value intensifies, CIOs remain optimistic about the potential of these technologies.

Still, most (93%) tech leaders continue to juggle limited time and resources to ensure better business outcomes. As CIOs consider innovations that support future growth, they must continue to navigate business-critical objectives. Despite unprecedented spending on security solutions, 88% experienced cybersecurity incidents in the last 12 months last year, with 43% enduring multiple breaches raising questions about the effectiveness of security spending.

One area where they are beginning to see tangible financial results is through the integration of environmental technologies. Nine in ten (91%) CIOs have realized direct commercial benefits, and over half (53%) report these as significant. With a good track record, it is no surprise that those investing in environmental sustainability initiatives have risen from 92% in 2023 to 95% over the past 12 months.

“For almost every business, technology has become the primary engine of innovation, growth and resilience,” said Jon Groves, CEO of Logicalis US. “With this dependence comes a new expectation of CIOs. They are no longer just enablers of business strategy but drivers of commercial success. Whether through maintaining a keener focus on ROI from next-generation technologies, optimizing security spending or maximizing the financial benefits of sustainability initiatives, technology leaders need to seek out the right investments and partnerships that can help them deliver on their business goals.”

While most CIOs are confident that their IT spending is yielding a return, many (91%) believe there is room for improvement. As challenges around complexity, resources and performance visibility remain, the report highlights the importance of fostering strong technology partnerships to help CIOs meet this changing landscape, alleviate pressures and unlock value.

Additional findings on innovation include:

94% agree the CIO role is becoming a key part of shaping business strategy and direction94% report their organization is exploring how next-generation technology can support their commercial growth94% of CIOs are actively seeking opportunities to incorporate AI into their business, compared to 89% last year86% report growing pressure within their organization to ensure ROI from AI

Additional findings on sustainability include:

95% say their organization is increasing their investment in environmental sustainability initiatives and/or technologies, compared to 92% last year94% think IT is core to the success of their ‘organization’s sustainability goals, compared to 93% last year93% report their organization set clear targets to reduce the carbon emissions from our IT environment, up from 89% last year

Recognition marks seventh consecutive quarter Achieve has ranked among the nation’s top lenders for customer satisfaction

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the fintech for everyday Americans, has been named one of the Top 3 lenders in personal loan customer satisfaction by LendingTree for the third quarter of 2026. This distinction from one of the nation’s largest online personal finance marketplaces underscores Achieve’s commitment to delivering transparent, supportive, and human-centered financial services.

This marks the seventh consecutive LendingTree customer service award that Achieve has earned, following a top-three ranking in the second quarter of 2026. The quarterly ranking is published by LendingTree, based on verified customer reviews and other data evaluating lenders on transparency, ease of the application process and the quality of customer service. Achieve consistently maintains high ratings for providing consumers with a clear path toward improving their financial health.

“For someone consolidating debt, a personal loan is more than a transaction. It’s an opportunity to improve their finances and move forward with greater confidence,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright. “Our team helps members understand their options and find the solution that fits their goals by pairing competitive fixed rates with personal guidance. Earning this recognition for a seventh consecutive quarter reflects the care our teammates bring to those conversations and the trust our members place in us.”

This initiative, supported by advanced underwriting and enhanced with FICO® Score 10 T data, maintains access to fixed-rate loans for an expanded set of consumers, with an expected improvement in credit performance. These loans are originated by a bank partner via the Achieve Personal Loans platform.

Key highlights of the Achieve Personal Loan experience:

Competitive, fixed rates: APRs now start as low as 6.25% for qualified borrowers, providing a more affordable alternative to high-interest credit card debt.Rapid funding: Qualified members can have funds sent in as little as 24 hours to address immediate financial needs.Flexible terms: Borrowers can choose repayment schedules ranging from 2, 3, 4 and 5 years to align with their specific budget and goals.Transparent pricing: All loans feature fixed monthly payments and a clear payoff date, with no hidden fees or revolving balances.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mediaplanet today announces the launch of its Men’s Mental Health campaign, publishing within USA TODAY and through the Future of Personal Health digital content hub. The national campaign brings together leading healthcare experts, mental health advocates, organizations, athletes and public figures to encourage more open conversations around men’s mental health and provide accessible, actionable resources for building healthier lives. Featuring Netflix podcaster and internet sensation Jake Shane as the publication’s cover story, the campaign also includes editorial from global influence Howie Mandel, All-Star athlete Kevin Love, Dr. Mark Hyman and author Yung Pueblo, offering personal experiences and expert perspectives on mental health, emotional well-being, resilience and personal growth.

Through personal stories, expert insights and practical resources, the campaign directly challenges the expectation that men should navigate mental health struggles alone while encouraging a more open and supportive approach to overall well-being. “I wish people would take care of their mental health the way we take care of our dental health,” said Howie Mandel. His perspective reflects the campaign’s broader mission to normalize mental health care as an essential part of everyday health and encourage men to prioritize their well-being before they reach a point of crisis.

The campaign was made possible through the participation and support of Vibrant Emotional Health, Financial Therapy Association, NOCD, Spear Center, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, American Association of Kidney Patients, Crisis Text Line, YMCA, One Mind at Work, The Hidden Opponent, Kevin Love Fund, American College of Sports Medicine, Whitman-Walker, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Mark Hyman, Yung Pueblo, Kevin Love, Howie Mandel and Jake Shane.
