CIO ADVISORY
Our goal is simple: to support CIOs in their strategic and operational transformations
Today, CIOs must simultaneously manage technological transformation, business evolution, cost pressures, cybersecurity, suppliers, and growing user expectations.
iQo supports CIOs and their teams during key moments of transformation:
- Program management: manage or turn around your key projects
- CIO Office: give your IT department a control tower capable of anticipating and alerting
- IT M&A: from deal to PMI, mastering the IT dimension of your divestment and acquisition operations
IT PERFORMANCE
Technological transformation must also be accompanied by an improvement in the IT department’s operational performance.
iQo helps companies identify and implement strategies to control IT costs while improving service quality.
Our services include, in particular:
- Operational excellence: develop IT practices that will set the standard for your organization
- Cost optimization: identify savings opportunities and exploit them at lower cost

The goal is not to cut expenses across the board, but to reallocate IT resources to the activities that create the most value for the company.
AI Transformation
The Rise of Generative AI and agent-based AI is further accelerating the transformation of information systems. But adopting a technology does not guarantee that it will create value.
iQo supports CIOs and business units in identifying, prioritizing, and scaling new technological applications.
We specialize in the following areas:
- Data and AI Strategy
- Generative AI and AI Agents
- AI Readiness
- Industrialization of Use Cases and scaling up AI projects
- Process Automation
- Data & AI Governance
- Data and AI Solution Architecture
- Acculturation and Skill Development
Our approach focuses on business use cases and value creation rather than technology for its own sake.
Our Consulting Approach
Making IT a True Driver of Value for the Company
The role of the IT department has changed dramatically. It can no longer be viewed as a mere support function responsible for maintaining infrastructure and applications. It must contribute directly to the company’s strategy, accelerate business transformations, and enable new ways of working.
Our approach to IT consulting, therefore, involves constantly aligning strategy, business functions, organization, and technology.
We support businesses in:
- Aligning the IT System with the Company’s Strategy
- Transforming the IT Department's Business Models
- Accelerate Delivery and Innovation
- Managing IT Complexity and Costs
- Prepare for technological advancements and support transformation efforts.
