We've "Been There, Done That - Worldwide"

CIO Worldwide has surged to the forefront in 2000. Since its inception in the fall of 1996, the company has been providing a select few companies with consulting and IT department takeovers and restructuring on the basis of  placing a CIO into a major corporation to run a failing IT Division. The latest directive of CIO Worldwide has received resounding acceptance in the marketplace. Targeting both CIOs & CEOs of medium and large companies, CIO Worldwide has found success in becoming a secret resource, enabling CIOs to find solutions to problems and projects unfamiliar to their specific experience. For CEOs, it has proven to be a great resource for evaluating the status of their company’s IT Division or provided strategic planning for the future direction in the fast moving IS industry giving an independent unbiased viewpoint.

The CIO Worldwide Team is always gaining the best talent and unlike many companies has kept a goal of allowing its Top CIOs to take full-time positions with Fortune 500 companies allowing the full attention of the CIO to his/her clients needs. As many CIOs are hired for 2-3 year projects to fix or takeover an IT Division, our CIOs have the resource of CIO Worldwide and its staff available to maximize the potential for success of our CIO Team member and in turn CIO Worldwide.

The legendary visionary and founder, V. James Onalfo, Pres./CIO with 30 years of Fortune 100 IT experience with General Foods, Kraft Foods, and Philip Morris Intl., has just completed a two and a half year project which exemplifies the CIO Worldwide ideal. In summary, after resurrecting the Stanley Tools Corporation’s Information Management Division, the department went from barely functioning to fully operational with a top IT team, a streamlined budget reduction of 50%, and a system of checks and balances. The department was recently recognized as ranked in the Top 11 IS Divisions of the Fortune 500 by ComputerWorld, and considered one of the most improved. The end result was praised by Chairman, John Trani, a GE alumnus, through the executive and administrative staff in all Divisions. A new respect was found for the IT function, high morale radiated throughout the company and a prehistoric IT Dept. was brought into the new millennium. Another success story for CIO Worldwide.

Continually, CIO Worldwide is retained for projects in several key areas. First, by the numerous outsourcing consulting firms that have grown so rapidly. With IBM, AT&T, Arthur Andersen, EDS, and all of the major consulting firms hiring subcontractors domestically and off-shore, the need for expertise to handle Major Corporations is enormous and CIO Worldwide with its vast knowledge base has been instrumental in providing top level strategy and experience to their client base. Second, CEOs are overwhelmed with the latest, high speed trends of the IT industry and in order to check against their IT executives recommendations, a second opinion has been found by calling on us. Third, CIOs are becoming younger and many have called on CIO Worldwide to help fill in the gaps. A specific, increasingly prominent example is that many executives have not experienced a down economy, which will involve cost cutting and major changes including mergers and integrating two or more IT functions into one. CIO Worldwide staff has done it all, the ‘been there done that’ marketing line is a tribute to the vast pool of experience surrounding CIO Worldwide.

Pro Bono/Mentoring: In addition to just the usual consulting mentality, CIO Worldwide recognizes that not all needs are equal, and those IT Executives that need a helping-hand from the elder statesman of the CIO or IT world need an Advisory Board. Even the founder has found time to embark on the path of providing aid to young executives that need advice. The goal of this program  is simple, when you need help and don’t want it known, call us. Most of our CIOs, when young, inexperienced CIOs, wished they had a mentor to call. CIO is that resource.

So if you are a CIO or a CEO of a Large or Medium size corporation and you are in need of a secret weapon in the IT arena or need a top chief information officer, call CIO Worldwide 203/438-7858 NY/CT Office, 305/868-2294 Miami or visit our website at CIO-Worldwide.com and e-mail us your questions or request.
