NEW! CTO/VP Apps Affinity Group

From Possibility to Reality

Newly created to support those professionals responsible for owning, implementing and enabling their CIOs’ and CISOs’ technological visions, the SI CTO/VP Apps Affinity Group will be critical to collaborating on key solutions while celebrating successes. Via Dialogue calls and virtual Summits, the SI CTO/VP Apps Affinity Group offers leaders a forum to innovate on topics such as optimizing service delivery, fine-tuning virtual tools post-COVID, strengthening telework strategies, managing vendors/3rd-party relationships, defining mobility uses/best practices and much more. For members wanting more regular contact and connection, SI has a CTO/VP Apps Affinity Group MS Teams Site to facilitate ongoing, ad hoc, open discussion and collaboration among the CTO/VP Apps peer group.
