What this role owns.
ERP readiness, AI readiness, data quality, auditability, security posture, and governance before automation.
ERP modernization and AI adoption fail when item masters, inventory exports, procurement files, asset registers, and work-order data cannot support explainable diagnostics.
CIO value is measured by avoided transformation waste, lower remediation uncertainty, and safer sequencing before large ERP or AI commitments.
Industrial IQ does not write back to SAP, IBM Maximo, Oracle, Infor, Hexagon EAM, or CMMS tools. It creates a governed evidence layer from exported data.
