How CIOs Can Work With CFOs on Sufficient Project Funding
InformationWeek, Wednesday, August 27th, 2025
Underfunded projects are doomed from the start. That's why you need to work with your enterprise's CFO to ensure long-term success.
Launching an important new venture requires various resources, not the least of which is money. That's why it's important for a CIO to work closely with the enterprise's CFO to ensure that adequate funds will be available to achieve success, even if initial cost estimates prove to be overly optimistic.
Technology has never been more important for business than it is today, and CFOs are finely attuned to the challenge, says Matthew Guarini, executive director of the Technology Business Management Council, a community of business technology leaders dedicated to advancing technology business management. "CFOs now prioritize technology over areas such as talent and supply chain, which demonstrates a significant shift in strategic investment focus toward technology for boosting growth and revenue," he observes.
