As CIO we are always trying to move our companies forward because we understand the importance of information technology. 

What this means  sometimes is that when our company has a piece of equipment that has  become outdated or perhaps no one knows how to use or maintain, we’ll  often try to apply a wrapper technique to it. We’ll try to marry modern technology to older equipment in order to extend its life and avoid replacement  costs. 

However, as some CIOs are starting to discover, this is not  always a good idea.
