  1. The Evolving Role of CIOs in Data Monetization Strategies Data is no longer just a by-product of digital operations. For modern enterprises, it’s a core asset with measurable commercial value. Today’s CIOs are no longer back-office operators—they are the architects of data-driven business models. According to Accenture’s 2024 Technology Vision, 67% of CIOs say data monetization is now part of their core mandate. 

 So, how exactly are CIOs driving this shift from data cost centers to data profit engines? Let’s explore real examples from Deloitte, Infosys, and how Complere Infosystem is enabling smarter, faster monetization at scale.

  2. From Cost Keeper to Value Creator Historically, CIOs were tasked with data security and storage. Today, they must extract insight, drive innovation, and unlock new revenue. At Deloitte: CIOs have developed internal data exchanges that power cross-industry benchmarking services. At Complere Infosystem: CIOs lead the DataValueX framework—turning client data into APIs, insights-as-a-service, and predictive tools sold to adjacent markets. “The best CIOs today don’t just manage IT. They engineer monetizable intelligence.” — Isha Taneja, CEO, Complere Infosystem Strategy Trait #1: Building Data as a Product Monetizing data starts with product thinking. CIOs are building internal and external data products that offer real value to users. Infosys, for example: Offers anonymized benchmarking insights for clients using its AI data lake.

 Deloitte launched a Data Governance Accelerator that helps clients model legal, ethical, and financial implications before a data product goes live. Complere delivers: Auto-classification & lineage mapping for all monetized datasets.   Real-time compliance scoring aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, and RBI standards.

  4. “Governance isn’t about slowing down data. It’s about protecting its long-term value.” Strategy Trait #3: Partnering for Data Ecosystem Growth Data monetization is rarely a solo act. CIOs must collaborate across legal, finance, sales, and external partners. 
 Infosys co-developed new marketplace data packages with telecom providers. Complere works with clients to: Establish revenue-share models with ecosystem partners.  Co-create data-driven services for emerging markets like agri-tech and wellness tech.

 At Deloitte, data pipelines are architected for reuse across products Complere implements: Modular, monetization-ready data layers.   AI-driven segmentation pipelines that feed both internal ops and external offerings. “The future CIO will be remembered less for uptime, and more for unlocking growth.” Strategy Trait #5: Proving Value to the Boardroom Boards don’t fund infrastructure. They invest in outcomes. Modern CIOs must: Map every data initiative to revenue opportunity.   Showcase KPIs like customer data ROI, data resale value, and insight conversion. At Complere, clients saw: 2.7x ROI on curated datasets sold via API.   45% faster board approval for data initiatives.
