Dean Lane

Founder and CEO of The Office of the CIO in San Jose

The Office of the CIO is an information technology and consulting firm that helps both large and small companies find outsourcing partners.

"Be prepared to reorganize your staff to make it work. Whether you want to change your organizational chart or not, the process will change and you need to modify what you do. You need to decide who will monitor the work being done offshore, how often they will travel to your outsourcer, and who is going to meet with them once they get there."
