The positive results obtained by my CIO colleagues in the domain of
outsourcing, helped me to choose for a co-sourcing model. Hearing the
experience of a CIOnet member about his mobile service provider resulted in
visiting his company, seeing the benefits, deciding for the same provider and
taking full advantage of his experience.
Last but no least, networking also gives me the opportunity to discuss 'real life'
topics and to build strong personal relations, while having a good time.

- How do other organisations approach this?
- What were their investments and realised cost savings?
- What were the real infrastructure requirements?
- How did they manage the IT & business risks?
- Can our peers help us to sell the business case in our own
company?
This allows us to develop good business cases for our
management, all based on references from other companies.”

“As the CTO of a centralised ICT service center, calculating the returns
of our IT investments is always close to my heart. Measuring the
benefits of networking in objective numbers and figures is very hard.
Still I can testify that CIOnet brings me the right information, the right
contacts and real best practices for the technologies that I care
about. This professional community of CIO's and IT Managers also
provides me an excellent feedback platform from my peers across
all different industry segments, being it finance, manufacturing, public
