Cloud computing inspires CIO's greatest potential no longer as it gatekeeper

In recent years, many advantages of cloud computing have emerged. Now, for the use of cloud computing, enterprises have shifted from the initial doubts to firm, in fact, many companies are already considering the establishment of a corresponding industry cloud, in order to include the enterprise, including the entire industrial chain can be in the cloud to achieve interconnection.

So, when the value of cloud computing is no longer just about helping businesses save money, but what does it mean for CIOs when it comes to managing the business with operational efficiency? There is a view that many technologies, such as cloud computing, are beginning to simplify it and greatly reduce the CIO's workload, in which case the CIO's value is lowered and is likely to be marginalized by the enterprise. CMiC Research argues that cloud computing's role for CIOs is not to marginalize them, but rather, cloud computing frees CIOs from everyday simple technical problems and helps CIOs return to value standards. At present, many CIOs focus on day-to-day it construction and maintenance, their support for enterprise business is to passively pursue business progress, rather than lead the business development, in the long run, in many people's eyes, the CIO becomes the person responsible for information technology and enterprise information system, simpler, that is, the management of technical people. This is a misreading of the value of the CIO, and the CIO is different from the information technology department, but rather a new type of information manager that provides the basis for the company's highest decisions through insight into the enterprise information system. The real advantage of cloud computing is the intelligent management of all kinds of trivial affairs in it, the CIO can get rid of the traditional "gatekeeper" role and transition to the manager role through cloud computing. In some of the more mature applications of cloud computing, CIOs have begun to use business intelligence and analytics to realize business insights and to make suggestions for the long-term development of the enterprise.
