Gartner Charts 4 Principles for New CIO Manifesto

By SiliconIndia | Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Gartner's annual Symposium/ITxpo delivered independent and objective content with the authority and weight of the world's leading IT research and advisory organization, and provided access to the latest solutions from key technology providers. The Symposium was held in Mumbai from November 21- 23, 2011. While CIOs seem to wrestle continued economic turmoil and trying hard to keep the enterprise running, Gartner has come up with a few principles that CIOs should put in use to make it simpler and easier.

At the ITxpo, Gartner analysts recognized four main principles for a new CIO Manifesto that would transform not just the CIOs and their sectors but benefit the entire enterprises as well. Gartner, Inc. also said that CIOs need to disengage from past processes and ideas and embrace a new policy. Partha Iyengar, Vice President and distinguished analyst at Gartner said, Executives in India and around the world, even in the face of global economic uncertainty, have identified increasing economic and business growth as their highest priority. Since this will demand more from IT organizations than just cutting costs, it is clearly time for CIOs to embrace a new CIO manifesto that will declare how generating revenue must become a new and central component of their IT organization's mission for the rest of this decade and beyond.
