The evolving role of the CTO is also leading to greater pressure.

As more businesses undertake digital transformation strategies, CTOs are expected to turn to leadership within the business and suggest solutions that will make an immediate difference.

CTOs may take comfort from the fact that companies across the board are likely to have legacy technology in place, and a sense of a shared collective mindset can set in from knowing that when things go wrong, it'll be the same for others.

To truly ensure the organization's stability, CTOs need to pay as much attention to the seemingly smaller tasks as they do the big transformational changes.

Adoption of a configuration management tool can allow CTOs to have oversight of the whole IT suite, which is able to identify and track changes against a defined set of policies and flag any deviances for rectification.

CTOs are typically overseeing projects that are implemented to bring an application, server or system up to date with the task, then considered complete.
