3 Questions To CIOs of All IT Organizations


Bangalore: The role of CIOs in today’s organizational structure has changed a lot. In order to help IT organizations understand which business to be in, here are three questions, as published in cio.com, that CIOs need to answer.

1. Which Business is IT in Presently?

Answering to this question, many CIOs would answer ‘IT is in every business’. Such viewpoints reflect the idea that the term IT has been generalized to such an extent that it has become impossible to generalize the definition of IT’s business assignments.

Thus, there arises a need to granulate the question a little further and ask where the IT is spending a majority of its resources and time and that reveals that nearly 61 percent of the IT organizations today are a combination of integration and infrastructure business.

2. Which Business should IT invest in the Future?

It is hard to believe that It will always be stuck in integration and infrastructure business and thus we can see the possibilities of IT moving into different verticals. IT is poised to play a significant role in the coming years and one among them can be redefining business intelligence and transform into a sector that represents a future that was never even thought of.

3. What Roles does a CIO play?

The roles that a CIO plays in an organization are growing and so are his responsibilities. It is just not about securing the information but also about defining terms such as imagination, income, intelligence, investment, inspiration and innovation.
