IBM through a study titled "The CIO Study" interviewed the 3000 Chief Information Officer (CIO) in the world, including 168 CIOs from the region of Southeast Asia. In a meeting Thursday (10/06/2011), IBM revealed the results of his research, some of which revealed that while the growing use of technology in business, the CIO role is changing.
"More than two-thirds of senior management said that the technology is important for the continuity of their business," said Charles Kamau Njendu, Senior Engagement Manager, Global Business Services, IBM Singapore. A total of 68 percent of companies believe that technology is very important in business and 58 percent have integrated technology and business innovation.
The importance of technology to strengthen the role of CIO in the company. The CIO is expected to obtain data and insight by leveraging technology that could contribute to the development of the company's business. With these demands, CIOs become very influential on the decisions taken in a company.
As the changes in the CIO position, then there is a change in job role as well. The problem faced today is on simplification. More than 80 percent of CIOs (86 percent and 94 percent of global ASEAN) said they plan to menyederhanan internal processes. Other things, the CIO also attempted close to the customer.
IBM Research describes four kinds of the CIO's mandate to utilize, expand, transform and pioneered. At the ASEAN level, extending the mandate was dominant in as many as 10 of the 18 industries. CIO with a mandate to expand the high berferforma looked at the importance of communication and internal collaboration as well as business and technology integration.
In the meantime, take advantage of the ASEAN mandate found in government agencies, automotive and consumer products. The mandate of transforming often found in financial institutions of ASEAN. Mandate pioneered in ASEAN are generally found in the money market industry, healthcare and telecommunications.
Njedu rate, each mandate is carried out by the CIO does not reflect the stage, but it is a form of adjustment of the types of industries and regions where business is run. For example, competition in the telecommunications industry to make ASEAN CIOs in the industry should play a role in a pioneering effort.
In an effort to carry out its role, the CIO at iuni paying attention to the utilization of technology to get the right information. Example, 4 of 5 CIOs surveyed believe that business intelligence and analytics are needed to translate the data that is crucial for decision-making.
In addition, increased attention to cloud computing is almost double that of the study two years ago. The CIOs in ASEAN states that a portfolio of applications (20 per cent in ASEAN) and the use of cloud services (23 percent in ASEAN) is to control their activities and reduce costs. However, attention to cloud computing in ASEAN is still lower than globally.
Attention to the mobile also increased. As many as 68 percent of CIOs in ASEAN region to pay attention to this. In Indonesia alone, the mobile trend also can be observed in many businesses, such as banking, telecommunications and aviation. In the world of banking and aviation existing mobile services such as banking and mobile check-in.
So far, based on IBM research, CEO and CIO have the same priority in business development. "There are many factors that a priority, but the three most important factors in view of the CIO and CEO of the same, namely the factor market, labor skills and technology. The development of the next 5 years, CEO and CIO also have the same priority, namely labor skills, insight and intelligent and client intimacy, "said Njendu.
