The work of the CIO is not exclusively focused on data systems (IS) or exclusively on the development of IS strategies. The CIO must instead work with top managers and functional managers in order to ensure that the IS approach is consistent with a company and organizational approach. A specific CIO task is to ensure that IS architecture and facilities support the company and organizational strategy. With a scalable architecture that meets present and future organizational demands in making long-term IS architectural decisions, the CIO must try to stimulate future flexibility.
