CIOPages.com is a trusted resource for CIOs, IT Executives and Business Leaders who are involved in IT Enablement of business functions. We offer insights, advisory services, customizable deliverables, transformation accelerators, and templates.
CIOPages.com offerings span the following:
In most large companies, for every transformation project, teams spend a lot more time on artifacts, rather than focusing on execution and outcomes. CIOPages.com believes that somewhere between 50-75% of the content is similar in most companies. By providing customizable deliverables, CIOPages intends to accelerate the time to completion of various artifacts and transformation deliverables. Not only that, but when there is a base level of content available, it helps teams’ focus on the unique and specific things that may have been missed out otherwise.
An enterprise transformation team can take our deliverables, templates and other artifacts and customize to your needs. In addition, CIOPages.com offers advisory and consulting services to use the deliverables as a baseline accelerator and quickly customize to a company’s unique situation. In a few other cases, you may not necessarily use the content verbatim, or customize it, but use it as a validation and cross reference.
Last but not the least, you may hire another consulting firm to help you with the customization.
CIOPages.com intends to become a trusted resource. Our business model is predicated on digital/virtual product sales, allied consulting and advisory services, and sponsorship/advertising. As we evolve in our journey, we may shift focus based on the resonance to our offerings.
Digital products, by their very nature, are fully exposed and can be read, printed, distributed and retained. So, a return, like in the case of a toaster oven, does not apply. We provide extensive product information. And the prices, in most cases, are less than a dinner for the project team, or less than having a high-end consulting spend an hour or two asking questions. So please ask us questions, read up on the descriptions, but please realize there are no returns. Please review our terms of service.
Membership is aimed at providing loyal customers with a slew of discounts, freebies, and inclusions that will far exceed the membership fee. The value equation in the memberships is phenomenal, particularly if you need consulting services and go up in the membership ladder. Each membership has different perks and privileges and please check them out and do a cost benefit analysis prior to signing up.
Consultants, by their very definition, work for more than one client. And most of them charge quite a bit. So, any accelerator that is going to be used across multiple clients need to have a higher pricing. It is the same as “distribution license” where a data/service is used across more than one organization. However, if you look at the consultancy pricing, it is far less than having a bunch of your highly-compensated consultants do this work. The value far outweighs the cost.
Most of our services are rapid, remote and result-oriented. Things can range from domain oriented web research, customization of deliverables, crafting of new deliverables, briefings, second opinion, vendor research and evaluation et al. So instead of asking what exactly we do, contact us with anything where you want things quicker, cheaper, with less administrative and logistical burden, and better! If we can’t do it, we will let you know.
We’ve some internal resources and many other external consultants, and subject matter experts. In fact, much of the content on CIOPages.com is crafted by independent consultants.

Yes, absolutely. Many of the deliverables on CIOPages.com are crafted by independent consultants or other experts.

We are sorry, but we cannot send or show sample deliverables. There are two reasons: A) The deliverables are our intellectual property, and we cannot share the same. B) While you may be a genuine buyer, our experience in the past has not been great with too many browsers and not many buyers. We believe the depth of the information in the product description and the snippets we provide are sufficient to understand the scope and quality of our products.
We process each transaction manually and hence, processing a deliverable may take anywhere from a few minutes to up to a day. The reason is to ensure appropriate licensing and also validating the deliverables.
Your best bet is to log in to the portal and download the products from the included links. The links do not expire.
Yes. You can only download the products three times. We believe that is sufficient for any genuine usage situation. Of course, once you download, you can save electronic copies to your computer or a cloud drive.
You can share the deliverables within a company for proper use. You cannot share the deliverables outside your company. Selling or giving away free is prohibited, as well.
Not generally. Compared to our professional services fee, the price of our products is a fraction of what we charge for custom work. Hence, our business model does not support pre-sales support.
Yes, for a separate fee. You can hire our consultants for remote help and in some cases for onsite assistance. Please Contact Us.
