Appendix B: What CIOs Are Discussing

A P P E N D I X  
     B     

What CIOs Are Discussing

The policies of an IT organization or corporate IT department are governed by CIOs and IT directors. So it’s important to understand what’s important to them. I searched through some online CIO groups and their discussions. Listed here are some topics that appear frequently in their discussions. This is not an exhaustive list but fairly well represents what’s on the mind of top management in IT organizations. I am listing only the topic names. A detailed discussion of these topics is beyond the scope of this book.

  • Cloud computing and virtualization
    • Opportunities and threats with cloud computing
    • Cloud computing’s impact on the IT operations staff’s budget
    • Industry verticals that fit best with a cloud environment
    • Cloud computing security concerns
    • Data security in cloud environments
    • Cloud computing, SaaS, and the distributed workforce
    • Clouds and disaster-recovery and business-continuity planning
    • Cloud computing and offshoring
    • Enterprise-grade IT solutions
