Abstract
Some organizations particularly companies that create new technologies may have a CTO and a CIO. In that case, the CTO is generally responsible for overseeing the technologies that the company creates, and the CIO is responsible for applying information technologies to the organization. The priorities of the position can be somewhat defined by the organizational unit to which they report. The reporting line is between the CIO and the CFO, it can be because the CIO function is viewed as a cost that needs to be managed and controlled. As a result, it is important to a CIO to have people in the IT organization who are both competent and comfortable to express their opinion about what should be done
