The Effective CIO: How to Achieve Outstanding Success through Strategic Alignment, Financial Management, and IT Governance

By William A. Yarberry Jr., Eric J. Brown, Jr Yarberry

Book Overview

Unlike many books that only provide a general review of the strategies important to the chief information officer, this volume explains how to execute the guidelines it recommends. It surveys existing strategies and includes detailed problem-solving ideas, such as how to structure optimal IT and telecom contracts with suppliers, the implications of SOP-98, and accounting for software costs. The text integrates the perspective of a CIO coping with the daily pressure for results, with that of an IT auditor focused on governance and internal control. Examples, charts, templates, and anecdotes supplement the material.
