Top 10 CIOs From Asia - 2022
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are essential part of an enterprise's digital renovation and transformation. With the technological evolution revolutionizing the path of businesses today, the responsibilities and role of a CIO has also changed. Today, CIO must have a computer background i.e, either a college degree in computer science or software engineering, and a least of five years of experience is required in IT management. Even though the role is not technical, these experience and basic knowledge would help a CIO to take appropriate decision in modifying business.
The CIO role was established in the 1980s. At that time, the CIO primarily focused on managing technical projects, launching systems and using technology to increase efficiency and productivity and cut costs. With time, role of these corporate leaders has continued to expand and have become key contributors in how technology could be used to further business objectives and grow the top and bottom lines.
One of their goals is to continue to maintain and improve the organization's internal technology processes as a way of maximizing company productivity and making complex tasks more achievable through automation. They are also responsible for creating business value through technology, overseeing the development of customer service platforms, approving vendor negotiations and IT architecture, establishing IT policies, strategies, and standards and developing and approving technology futures and budgets. As the cloud computing, big data analytics, mobile computing and technical collaboration platforms started to determine the future of the businesses the focus of CIO role has shifted to service analysis, data security, and market reach.
