Excellent Post Eric,

I have been long confused about what exactly a CIO’s role is. Your posting has given me clarity. Its a very good read. I am going thru your blog page by page and it takes time for me coz there is a lot of information thats very useful. I work in the same environment i.e., online retail (online marketing) we are an offshore company that provides services to companies. I have already bookmarked your site and i feel this is a dictionary, a guide and a repository of useful information. my contact email is maran4u@gmail.com. It would be a previledge to be in touch with you.

Found a few other great quotes on what a CIO is: CIO Advice Column: “The future CIO’s primary focus is to drive business strategy and innovation for competitive advantage. They will apply their unique cross-enterprise view of business process, architecture and the differentiating potential of technology to steer the enterprise toward new opportunity. Rather than answering primarily to internal stakeholders, future-state CIOs will be accountable to the board and to shareholders. They will be the right hand of the CEO because their unique knowledge and perspective will be critical to a 21st Century enterprise’s ability to grow."
