· Overseeing all technology operations (i.e. network security)
· Controlling IT budgets and reporting on expenditure to organizational senior management
· Assisting in building relationships with vendors and creating cost-efficient contracts
· Stewardship of IT policies and systems to support the implementation of strategies set by organizational management
· Analyzing business requirements of all organizational departments in terms of technology
· Purchasing cost effective technological software and hardware

Trends for the next decade
IT departments are currently charged with supporting and securing infrastructure, while at the same time enabling innovation, and responding to an ever-evolving cyber landscape of threats.
Cloud adoption will continue to expand during the next decade, and such a trend has direct implications for Cybersecurity. Spending on Cloud services is expected to more then double in the coming years. This raises the specter of "Shadow IT".
New technology will allow smaller organizations to compete with larger ones across all industries. For example, in healthcare, platforms such as Telemedicine will allow for greater opportunities for patient care and provide opportunity to leverage technology to be competitive with the ever growing list of competitors, and continue to be innovative with care delivery.
