Every business person I know wishes they had more time to regularly read up on industry content, but, honestly, I don’t know many who are able to squeeze professional education into their workday routine. We’re all overwhelmed from time to time, but I feel particular sympathy for the pressures of the modern CIO. One of the spinning plates he’s juggling right now includes making IT more secure, more efficient, AND more supportive of the speed of business…all on a flat-to-decreasing budget.

So, to try to help out, we’ve gathered the most informative articles for CIOs published recently. They cover a broad range of topics, but they’re all major articles with deep relevance for the well-informed and forward-thinking CIO. These articles offer excellent advice on the topics of social media, data preparation, the potential of deep data analytics, and the process of turning businesses into technology platforms.
