U.S. tariffs have officially entered the CIO playbook not as noise, but as a variable in every tech decision.
Policy volatility once confined to trade desks is now rewriting procurement timelines, vendor contracts, and boardroom risk frameworks. At Greyhound Research, we believe this shift demands that CIOs operate not only as IT strategists but as geopolitical interpreters, capable of steering enterprise priorities through policy turbulence.
Greyhound Fieldnotes from Fortune 1000 firms show CIOs actively recalibrating cloud renewals, hardware upgrades, and partner models to reflect tariff-induced instability. Tech strategy can no longer be isolated from global trade dynamics—it must absorb and respond to them in real time.
According to the Greyhound Pulse 2025 CIO Tracker, 61% of U.S.-based technology leaders have already delayed or restructured procurement due to tariff uncertainty. In sectors like healthcare, logistics, and industrial manufacturing, the message is clear: resilience now outranks cost savings.
