About CIO
«CIO is a specialist responsible for ensuring everything works, but also that it grows in a planned manner. For example, the area of responsibility of an average system administrators is very narrow, and they can simply opt out of tasks on the not-my-job grounds. And, by the way, they are doing it with full rights. CIO is responsible for every technological process and all related processes. The number of questions that such a specialist will not be able to answer, tends to zero. The CIO is not only a hand, but also a head. Qualification, creative approach, responsibility.»
