The CIO in a Cognitive Computing Environment

Unlike past advancements that largely brought more speed and performance to well-established infrastructure, cognitive computing promises an entirely new data ecosystem. This puts the CIO in a unique position to define and deploy the very technology that could redefine their own role in the enterprise. According to the most recent Harvey Nash / KPMG CIO Survey, the changes brought about by the desire for digital leadership in the enterprise are already starting to reveal themselves. By an almost two-to-one margin, CIOs at digitally enabled organizations are leading the development of new business strategies, and these companies are four times more likely to invest in cognitive automation than organizations where the CIO is not leading the transition process. In other words, cognitive computing is critical to a CIO's future success.
