CIO - CTO
Chief Information Officer
Chief Technology Officer
Changing Role
CIOs and CTOs have many issues they must address when looking at overall performance of the IT function. One of traditional ones is server monitoring. Server monitoring spans three areas of operations: monitoring server operation (the running status); monitoring server traffic (both in and out); and monitoring the results of server use (keeping logs, statistics, and analysis). This encompasses monitoring physical hardware, server performance, services, and the network.
Issues with Server Monitoring:
- Determining what needs to be monitored
- No clear and holistic view of the data
- Too many - or too few - "agents" for the job
- Too many manual tasks
- Too much complexity and hidden costs
- Hodgepodge of low-end tools
At the same time the role of the CIO and CTO is changing as more enterprises more towards a "Value Added" role for the Information Technology function. Those changes are depicted in the detail job descriptions that have been created for all of the functions with IT -- especially for the CIO and CTO. The table below depicts several of those changes.
The job descriptions created by Janco's executive consultants have taken these changes in role into consideration when the job descriptions for the CIO and CTO where updated. The Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer job description are both over 4 pages in length.
You can purchase this book as a PDF Book, Word Book or as individual word files for each Job Description (in both WORD 2003 .doc and WORD 2007 .docx formats) which makes for easier modification. We have also combined the both book formats with the individual word files for each job descriptions to give you the best of both worlds.
