Of course, the Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer are responsible for technology-related decisions, but the reality of the matter is that you only want technology professionals in these roles… not just professionals who happen to be the most knowledgeable folks in your office.
The point of all these cool smartphones is to make life easier, improve productivity, and communication, but how sure are you that these devices are making things better?

We have a few ways to help you free up more time.
