Gartner: CIOs Must Actively Engage in Opportunities to Influence IT Decisions in Business Budgets
Operations infrastructure: Mastery of how to run all those processes and deliver all that information, their cycles, their integration requirements and all their interfaces with people.
Technology scenario: Comprehensive and educated perspective on the technology scenario and its evolution, and the features, opportunities, challenges, risks and the economics of IT tools.
"These characteristics legitimize CIOs and their teams as advisors to all budgets in all functions within the enterprise," said Michael Smith, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "In addition, IT leaders will advise business leaders on how to secure, integrate and manage the quality of the information that fuels digital business. These capabilities are what CIOs and their teams will have budgeting responsibility for as traditional enterprises make the transformation to digital businesses."
The IT organization has in its DNA the ability to solve problems through project-oriented approaches and collaborative working processes. This is invaluable for any organization, and essential in uncertain and dynamic business environments. IT is therefore ideally placed to collaboratively elaborate — and technically influence — the budgets of all business initiatives.
