Dr Harold D’ Costa, President – Cyber Security Corporation  

“The CIO today has to play a critical role to ensure that the objectives of the organization are met. Gone are the days when the CIO was performing his duties at the backend. Large chunks of data were processed and provided to front executives for tactical and strategic decision-making process. 

The role of the CIO was to only to provide the reports without adding any value services. Data mining, data analytics were a new term and was never a KRA of CIO. Today the CIO has not only to provide reports but also to ensure that the piece of information can help the organization to achieve its goals, be a front stake holder by providing rational decisions and to localize the systems to suit the law of the land.
 

The older concept of CIO was only to process the data and provide reports to Management. Today CIO has to be more vocal and has to play a lead role to ensure that the organization sustains the competition from the competitors.
 

Faster adoption of technology is the need of the hour and my organization is bent upon to leverage the use of technology to stay ahead in the competition.”
