High Street brands Birds Eye and Specsavers reveal their leadership and technology plans as US car giants hope IT can save them.
The CIO 100 is a unique classification of those organisations in Great Britain that are involved in major IT investments and, as a result, extending the capabilities of IT.
This is more than a list of organisations with a high number of users, it is the organisations that are transforming their business models to make the internet and computing power the main touch point of their organisation, not only for their employees, but for their customers too.
The web as a platform is replacing everything from paper to telephones, directories to catalogues and transport to advertising. It is the domain for customer relationships, marketing, retailing, advertising and education. Only paper has probably changed the way organisations operate so significantly in that like computing, it is multi-faceted and endlessly usable. IT chiefs within the CIO 100 see the world as a blank piece of paper and use technology to unlock the business potential of the organisation that employs them.
The latest CIO 100 was completed in the days of market turmoil in the US and then around the world in reaction to events at Lehman Brothers. No doubt next year’s CIO 100 may look a little different, but the leaders you will read about in this publication are likely to be in for a challenging 12 months as they try to extract greater value from their existing infrastructure, and may struggle to receive the funding they would like for infrastructure refreshes.
Lastly, as the Editor of CIO online, I must thank all involved. The CIO 100 wouldn’t exist without the CIOs that give up their precious time to answer our many questions.
