Chief Information Officer

What is the Chief Information Officer (CIO)?  The title Chief Information Officer (CIO) was first used inside the information technology department and function to identify the person responsible for all Information Technology functions within the enterprise. At many enterprises, the term CIO is still used in this way.

IT leadership has always been important, but given the challenges facing higher education, it is essential for not only cost-effective operations but long-term strategic success. The CIO is the driver for this.

The role of the CIO and CTO is changing as more enterprises more towards a "Value Added" role for the Information Technology function.  Those changes are depicted in the detail job descriptions that have been created for all of the functions with IT -- especially for the CIO and CTO.  The table below depicts several of those changes.
