Vendors can now nominate their best customers for the "CIO of the Year" awards. The Chief Information Officer (CIO), or information technology (IT) director/VP, is a job title commonly given to the most senior executive in an enterprise responsible for the information technology and computer systems that support enterprise goals. The CIO typically reports to the chief executive officer, chief operations officer or chief financial officer.
The prominence of the CIO position has risen greatly as information, and the information technology that drives it, has become an increasingly important part of the modern organisation. The CIO may be a member of the executive committee of an organization, and/or may often be required to engage at board level depending on the nature of the organisation and its operating structure and governance environment. No specific qualification are intrinsic of the CIO position, though the typical candidate may have expertise in a number of technological fields - computer science, software engineering, or information systems. Many candidates have Master of Business Administration or Master of Science in Management degrees. More recently CIOs' leadership capabilities, business acumen and strategic perspectives have taken precedence over technical skills. It is now quite common for CIOs to be appointed from the business side of the organization, especially if they have project management skills.
