Our Mission Statement

CIOZone® (launched in January 2008) is dedicated to creating a highly interactive experience in which users – Chief Information Officers (CIOs) – not only become active participants in their community, but also take on the role of custodial guardians of their community, for the collective benefit of all executive-level Information Technology (IT) professionals.  CIOZone supports and practices the philosophy of professional philanthropy.

About CIOZone

CIOZone (www.ciozone.com), the Network for IT Leadership, is the first and only professional networks for CIOs. CIOZone offers its members:

Professional Social Networking - ProSocial™

CIOZone offers an internet platform where members can exchange ideas and experiential learning with their peers, solve critical business problems, discuss common challenges, share IT best practices, learn about the newest technology implementations, provide and receive mentoring, uncover business leads, and advance their careers – all in real time. 

Award-winning Editorial Team

CIOZone offers cutting-edge content that members cannot find on traditional technology-publication websites.  The site boasts an award-winning team of technology editors who report the news, conduct market research, post case studies, publish vendor profiles, and aggregate opinions and insightful commentary from across the IT and business strategy spectrum.

High-level User-generated Content

Interest in user-generated content (UGC) websites is growing among organizations, as they face highly competitive markets, uncertain economic environments, and a growing user base that’s accustomed to active engagement rather than passive acceptance of products and services.  The business world is seeing a shift in models, requiring that organizations change their value proposition for users to one where organizations must construct and share meaningful experiences with users in order to derive value.  We are now living in the era of the open brand.

On the CIOZone site, chief information officers and leading academics provide commentary, opinions, and analysis on key technology trends and business news via online editorials, columns, and blogs. CIOZone has more than a dozen CIOs and other IT experts contributing blogs, and it offers more than 50 moderated business technology forums. CIOZone also enables members to communalize this content, inviting discussion and debate from the audience and thus ensuring the content’s relevancy and value.  Members can converse with their peers and with the experts who provide content to the sites.  This community aspect invites discussion and debate from the audience, ensuring the content’s relevancy and value.
