All too often CIO’s concentrate on getting the IT side of their department right in order to improve efficiency within the business but forget to concentrate on their own cost base to the overall detriment of the bottom line. CIO Plus specialises in delivering balanced IT – where the process benefits are optimised and the costs are minimised.

IT often works much better and costs substantially less when subjected to the methodology of CSS – Centralisation, Simplification and Standardisation. This has been a mantra of CIO Plus ever since it was developed and successfully delivered to produce one of the most efficient IT departments in the UK at Scottish & Southern Energy which redefined performance and IT benchmarks within the UK Electricity Industry.

We now couple this with our proven methodology Integrated Operational Planning & Budgeting (IOPB) which ensures a cost/efficiency balance to IT and makes sure that only projects which add to the bottom line are undertaken and that promised benefits are delivered. We also deliver benchmarking as part of this service and the result often resets industry standard benchmarks.
