Less Money, New Problems For CIOs
IT Departments are trying to reposition themselves as internal service providers in response to losing control over technology spending.
That's according to a survey of 177 CIOs and IT directors from mid-market organizations in 24 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
CIOs indicated in the research conducted by Logicalis, No. 26 on the CRN Solution Provider 500, that IT spending has shifted decisively toward line-of-business executives and shows no sign of slowing down. In response, CIOs are seeking to embrace a new role focused on infrastructure and service management.
CIOs are also looking to become more focused on strategic activities and recruit specialists with business IT skills.
