Growth companies leverage technology to create immersive customer experiences and embrace solutions that help executives stay ahead of the complexity inherent in today's business environment. CIOs must spearhead value creation through game-changing technological agility, innovation, and analytics. CohnReznick helps clients develop IT strategies that enable business transformation, open new revenue streams through digital services, implement cloud solutions to retire dead-end software platforms, and protect digital and financial assets.
• IT Strategy: We help companies align their IT strategy with their business strategy to support growth, service and productivity initiatives. We evaluate IT’s effectiveness in supporting business goals, identify gaps, and create an IT roadmap that aligns business need and IT support. We provide the change management, business transformation, and project management support needed to turn roadmaps into reality.
• Business Intelligence & Data Analytics: Staying ahead of the competition requires rapid, impactful responses to changing market issues. Unfortunately, most executives spend more time creating and verifying data than they do using it to f inance and operationalize growth. We not only help clients aggregate and analyze data, but provide predictive and prescriptive analytics to create the foresight to take confident action.
• Digital Services: Digital changes everything. Traditional business models are being ”digitized”, fueling new revenue streams, creating deeper customer experiences, and removing cost from operations. Success requires a ready organization; a digital roadmap; the right architectures, applications and platforms for your business; and a passion for innovation.
• Enterprise Resource Planning: Reducing complexity is the key to creating efficient workflows and focusing on key business drivers. We help organizations select, implement, and manage ERP solutions that reduce complexity, lower operating cost, support regulatory compliance, and improve decision-making.
• Microsoft Cloud Solutions: CIOs are shackled by maintaining end-of-life legacy systems. We restructure this “technical debt” by embracing cloud solutions that empower people with insight into customer relationships, streamline service, and enhance productivity and mobility.

Cyber threats constantly evolve with increasing intensity and complexity that could cause severe disruption to a company’s business; compromising sensitive customer data, intellectual property and damaging their reputation CohnReznick’s comprehensive cybersecurity program helps companies assess and mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks.
• Cyber Threats: Threats are prevalent and breaches are costly. 1 in 5 of all organizations has been attacked with a global impact of $3 trillion annually. 75% of breaches are at small to mid-sized organizations.
• Gaps Exist Between Readiness and Security: Organizations’ cyber risk profile often exceeds their cyber-readiness to monitor, detect, protect and respond to cyber threats.
• IT Security Tools are an Incomplete Solution: Relying solely on technology solutions fails to recognize the nature of current threats today – people are “hacked” more frequently that servers.
• Cybersecurity is an Enterprise Risk Strategy: Best-in-Class cybersecurity solutions are tailored to a company’s risk tolerance and strategy, making security a board and CFO issue
• Breach Response is Critical: For organizations facing advanced persistent threats, its only a matter of time until a breach occurs, making breach response critical to minimizing exposure.
