With cloud adoption accelerating very rapidly, CIOs role in the organization is definitely changing and its changing for the better. Traditionally IT managers and CIO are viewed as technical enablers, but that view is shifting.
“With cloud computing’s influence on shifting the CIO role away from technology and onto business services and strategy, CIOs believe their time is coming—and soon. Within two years, 14% of CIOs report they expect to be considered for CEO, and a further 16% expect to be a contender in over two years’ time.”
