As cloud computing becomes more established in your organization, it will envelope the CIO's job and redefine it.

It's far too early to gauge the full impact of this new phenomenon, but it's clear the CIOs will be the change agent for integrating the cloud into the workplace and educating others on exactly what it does.

CIOzone.com outlines ways the CIO's job will change in this new world:

• The CIO will become responsible for orchestrating alignment of internal and external resource pools with business needs.
• The CIO will be interacting with non-IT mangers to come up with the best business solutions.
• With cloud computing, CIOs can translate business goals into application and architecture goals.

It's a new world for the CIO, the IT shop and the C-level executive, but with some determination, the cloud will be able to help your organization function more effectively and efficiently.
