Interim CIO Creates Distributed IT Organization
A consumer services company that provides emergency road services, travel and insurance products on the East coast was struggling to align the performance of its IT organization with the evolving needs of the business. The IT team was viewed as slow to react to business needs, weak on service, lacking in strategy and planning skills and too expensive. In a 2-year Interim CIO engagement, Cimphoni implemented a distributed IT organizational model to improve IT agility and speed, moving 20% of the IT staff to business functions in the first year. We also partnered with the business to create a 3-year IT strategic plan and guide investments, improved quality, reliability and consistency of IT performance and reduced IT operating expenses 10% in one year.
