Why CIOs must “work in the field”

The need for a unified approach to enterprise automation is especially pronounced when you confront yourself with the problem “from the inside”.

At workplaces, it usually opens up what is hidden most of the time behind the door of your office ...

It was interesting to come on a visit to a very large organization, to go to one of its departments and as a result of communication with employees find out that different departments of the organization work the same way with the same material, but only with the help of different software.

Since If the state organization, then each department tenders independently and absolutely does not want to coordinate its purchase with other departments of the organization.

Moreover, when someone starts talking about using a single software, it all ends in nothing (to put it mildly).

It is clear that this organization clearly needs a CIO who would be the only one who made the decision about the need to purchase one or another software in the organization.

But this is only part of the solution. The second part is an understanding of which software who should use and how.

Those. The CIO should go out into the field, and from within each department, see what functions someone performs, what documents he receives at the entrance, what he prepares for the output, what software he uses now, and what software he should use in the right way.

Only then can a correct point of view be formed, based not on inventing, but on accurate knowledge of the processes of its organization.
