Indian CIOs are amongst the best in the world and therefore, fully appreciate the enormous financial, compliance, regulatory and operational risks associated with having vulnerable systems deployed at the endpoint instead of more reliable Macs. At the same time, they do end-up deploying vulnerable PC systems due to a lack of knowledge-based argument to get reasonable budgets allocated.

The CIO Agenda Task Force was formed to better understand as to why this is the case.

A 10-month long effort of primary research inputs through interviews, research meetings and feedback from the members of the Task Force resulted in Comprehensive Economic Impact (CEI) of Mac Deployment in Indian Enterprises is the SKOCH CIO Agenda Task Force Report published in November 2023.

The CEI Model thus developed is the outcome of a collaborative effort of fifteen enterprises that participated in the Task Force. Seven large enterprises shared their data on Macs and PCs and two of them were used as proof-of-concept centres to further fine tune and validate the findings.
