The Real CIOs of the Cloud

The cloud is affecting the responsibilities and priorities of today's CIO. Change is already evident—the new CIO is not only the Chief Information Officer, but also the Chief Integration, Innovation, Infrastructure, and Intelligence Officer. As cloud computing becomes the dominant technology of this decade, today's CIOs are the agents of change.

Innovative CIOs are taking this opportunity to participate in this new age of cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Cloud-based applications give CIOs the freedom to focus on supporting growth and delivering revenue-related projects while remaining vigilant on cost and operational efficiencies. These CIOs realize the debate around on-premise apps vs. cloud-based apps is over. True innovation is happening ONLY in the cloud.
