Chief Technology Officer

The design of a corporate intranet is a far cry from our day-to-day experience. Each workstation must be able to exchange data freely with the central server (data center), making vital data accessible to as many people as possible and enabling free exchange between different departments. Whether it's a local, regional or global network, the role of the technology manager is to set up a solid, reliable and secure infrastructure, while respecting the budget and constraints defined in your specifications. The maintenance of such a network, no matter how complex, will also be handled by the CTO and a team set up by him. He or she will also be responsible for setting up training courses for users, and for planning a redundancy strategy to be applied in the event of network problems.

The CTO is responsible for setting up the company's user services. Communication with and between your employees, as well as with your customers, must be as transparent and fluid as possible. Good communication between your various departments is vital to your development, and optimizing this point will have an immediate impact on human resources. However, setting up a fixed and/or mobile switchboard, as well as allocating lines, requires a perfect knowledge of the equipment and its constraints. On this point, the technology manager will be a first-rate ally, and will be responsible for implementing the best deployment strategy.

One of the key roles of the technology manager is to provide your employees with a computer system perfectly suited to their work, and to manage the coordination of the IT team. He or she must guarantee the availability and performance of the human resources at his or her disposal, in order to meet evolving objectives and needs over time. In addition, he or she is responsible for ensuring that IT systems comply with current regulations, and for the multimedia equipment that can be installed in your conference rooms, meeting rooms, media libraries, etc.

The security of your IT infrastructure is vital to the smooth running of your business. Even before the intervention of an IT security expert, the technology manager needs to be able to estimate the risk factor associated with the use of certain software, hardware or databases, so as to limit the risks. Whether it's a question of securing your data internally, or securing your network to ensure free circulation between different workstations, the CTO will adopt the appropriate strategy for your situation.

The CTO must also be able to act as an advisor, or define the best strategy to adopt with regard to the company's representation on the Internet, both nationally and on a global scale. It must also be able to deploy the best available technical resources to ensure that your online services are always available to the general public. These days, a company's online presence and its technological equipment are crucial to its future development. A position as CTO will certainly give you the opportunity to draw on your extensive IT and network knowledge to set up the best possible infrastructure while meeting the specific needs of your company and your employees. Be at the cutting edge of new technologies, and don't miss out on an opportunity to multiply your output, and therefore your sales.
