The advantages of a truly digital workplace are clear and compelling, yet many companies remain confused about the steps they need to take in order to realize the benefits. A digital workplace combines the latest digital tools with intelligent context about the roles and responsibilities of employees to drive real benefits to the bottom line.

As companies increasingly look to become digital businesses, technologies like big data, cloud, social and mobile are changing the game for IT professionals. To be successful, CIOs need to think about how they are adding value to their organizations in this new digital landscape.

According to The Wall Street Journal, CIOs who underestimate the changes in expertise and competency required to develop digital business capabilities will be left behind or relegated to the back office. Having deep technical expertise is no longer enough.

A couple of weeks ago, Avanade Chief Marketing Officer, Stella Goulet, talked about how the CIO and CMO relationship is more important than ever as companies become digital businesses.
Successful CIOs and CMOs need to have a shared digital vision and to achieve that vision they need to think like a CIMO or Chief Information Marketing Officer.

In order to better understand this trend, we have produced the Avanade CIMO Perspective Report. In it, we share interviews conducted with a wide range of forward-looking IT and marketing leaders from organizations such as Accenture, AXALTA, Expedia, Mattress Firm, Microsoft and Meridiana. We also share perspectives from our own experiences here at Avanade. 5 charts: The shifting landscape of digital video consumption.
