CIO, an imperative course for IT professionals

Begin of this course: September 1998
Last Revision: July 2003

"America's one and only economic driver for the next several decades rests in the hands of CIOs. That's the conclusion of economist W. Brian Arthur, Citibank professor at the Santa Fe Institute, who developed the modern theory of increasing returns. Technology will connect systems, processes and functions within and among companies but it's up to the CIO to channel the connections -. July 2003".

This course teaches the basics of the business administration using the modern information technologies, and his goal is to give a general view of what now is the highest level of the professions related with the Information Technology, the "CIO Chief Information Officer".

It is not a formal course, but instead conceptual. Evidently nobody becomes trained - for instance some recently-graduated or with few years of experience - to be a CIO Chief Information Officer. But he becomes trained about the experience road to be a CIO Chief Information Officer more fast and more safe.

CIO is the abbreviation of "Chief Information Officer " and is a new professional, usually between the President of the company and the other Directors including the IT Director. He don't replace the IT Director, with the exception in small companies.

A CIO Chief Information Officer has entrepreneurial experience and at the same time technical experience in Information Technologies. The entrepreneur usually has only the entrepreneurial experience and the information system manager has only on technical matters. However, business is more and more the information system and the information system is more and more the business.

In the next 5 years more and more the companies will need a CIO Chief Information Officer, that transforms technologies (computer, Internet, communications, etc) in businesses and therefore in profits.

We recommended our CIO Chief Information Officer Course for any IT professional and also as up-grade for any IT Degree including the Master. CIO is the highest professional level among the professions related with the computer fields.

The following are few examples of matters included in this unique CIO course:

ERP Enterprise Resources Planning

ERP is presented in a conceptual way and without connections with any specific software manufacturer.

The ERP Enterprise Resources Planning is one of the tools of a CIO Chief Information Officer. However, an ERP without the basic foundations taught in this Course tends to not be efficient and productive for a company, to not generate value and ROI Return On Investment.

We don't have a separated ERP Enterprise Resources Planning Course, but the matters of this Course show the basic requirements for the implantation of any ERP Enterprise Resources Planning of any manufacturer, in any type of company.

IME e-Commerce & Internet Marketing Engineering

Internet is the new media, the one of most future among the current medias. This CIO Course teaches how to do the Internet Marketing and at low cost, and includes the matters e-Commerce, B2B and B2C, etc.

CRM Customer Relationship Management

With a general view of every angle, the computer system interacting directly with the clients through voice by phone (and voice recognition if necessary) without human actions, for marketing, sales, support, accounts, etc.

In short, in any customer relationship with a company. In recent research with IT Managers, 41% answered that the CRM is the number one in the priorities list for the period 2002/2003.

Enterprise Telephony VOIP Voice Over IP

The digital Internet Telephony, the cost-effective way to communicate within your organization and/or your clients, gateways to add voice transmissions on your existing intranet data network and/or wide area, and also the new generation of sophisticated Call Centers with bidirectional voice and direct access to databases, etc.

Great economy in the enterprise telephony installation and operations, besides more high security and precision. As a matter of fact, VOIP is your voice intranet and extranet, and the enterprise telephony is now a CIO matter.
