This article provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date list of essential CTOtools, categorising them based on their functionality and use cases. It also provides insights into the key factors for choosing and measuring their return on investment (ROI) while answering frequently asked questions about the tools and frameworks.
The survey points to a fundamental misunderstanding among many business leaders regarding the data work needed to deploy most AI tools, says John Armstrong, CTO of Worldly, a supply chain sustainability data insights platform. Gen AI uses huge amounts of energy compared to some other AI tools, he notes.
These tools still struggle with that bigger picture kind of level, and they also struggle with leveraging functionality that you already have on hand,” he says. “A Gen AI tools are advancing quickly, he says. New code review tools will be needed to help dev teams understand all this code written by AI, Dennison adds.
We have a new tool called Authorization Optimizer, an AI-based system using some generative techniques but also a lot of machine learning. As more AI innovations come to market, financial institutions can leverage the technology for enhanced services, increased efficiency, and new ways to deliver and manage products.
The software development ecosystem exists in a state of dynamic equilibrium, where any new tool, framework, or technique leads to disruption and the establishment of a new equilibrium. It’s no surprise many CIOs and CTOs are struggling to adapt, in part because their architecture isn’t equipped to evolve.
To start off, it appears that no-code/low-code tools hasn’t had much impact on the number of people working in IT. We believe that IT needs to spend more time thinking about how technology impacts people. We spoke to: Patrick Jean , CTO, OutSystems. Patrick Jean, CTO, OutSystems. Deb Gildersleeve , CIO, Quickbase.
In many cases, using an LLM for simple AI tasks, such as transcribing and translating, can be expensive when cheaper tools are available, LeHong said during a recent webcast. BlackLine has deployed its own AI tools by focusing on projects that affect most employees and customers, Johar says.
They can’t fall into typical traps like overlooking transparent communication, failing to address the needs of remote or less-engaged stakeholders, or underestimating the influence of non-traditional stakeholders, such as employees using unapproved technologytools.
In 2016, Andrew Ng, one of the best-known researchers in the field of AI,wroteabout the benefits of establishing a chief AI officer role in companies, as well as the characteristics and responsibilities such a role should have. In many companies, they overlap with the functions of the CIO, the CDO, the CTO, and even the CISO.
Its not surprising to see the differences when C-level executives tend to receive PowerPoint-level snapshots of IT problems, including data quality, says Timothy Bates, a professor in the College of Innovation and Technology at the University of Michigan Executives see dashboards clean, aggregated, polished, Bates says.
Skepticism from IT practitioners is natural, given they will have to work out how to deploy and maintain AI agents, says Tim Armandpour, CTO at PagerDuty. True AI agents will have the freedom to decide on the processes they run and on tool usage and learn from these decisions, she adds.
I think well come to the realization that AI is a great tool, but its not a replacement, Doughty says. While AI is a powerful tool for boosting productivity and assisting with writing code, it wont replace the need for skilled software engineers it will shift the demand, Farmer says. Theres real hand-holding that needs to be done.
By Leonard Kleinman, Field ChiefTechnologyOfficer (CTO) ) Cortex for Palo Alto Networks JAPAC Many things challenge how we practice cybersecurity these days. It also enables a greater ROI on your current tools and technology, bringing them into play as part of the orchestration process. Where to start?
Rather than view this situation as a hindrance, it can be framed as an opportunity to reassess the value of existing tools, with an eye toward potentially squeezing more value out of them prior to modernizing them. A first step, Rasmussen says, is ensuring that existing tools are delivering maximum value.
Chieftechnologyofficers are key players in the enterprise C-suite, oftentimes working in collaboration with CIOs at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. They are among the most important hires organizations are making today due to the business value that successful technology deployments can bring.
Dun and Bradstreet has been using AI and ML for years, and that includes gen AI, says Michael Manos, the companys CTO. We need individuals who can apply gen AI with an industry sector specific and functional perspective, focusing on solving business problems rather than merely adopting a tool or technology-first approach.
With C-suite leaders under increasing pressure to align technology with strategic objectives, many experience that roles — whether CEO, CFO or even CTO — lack the deep technical insight needed to bridge the gap between business and technology. The CTO and CIO handle IT management and technological innovation.
Together, they offer complementary tools and services to achieve data discovery, gain access to real-time insights, implement multi-environment data management, and embed data protection at the chip level.
An organization’s finance team shouldn’t have access to the data being used in an HR AI tool, and vice versa, he says. At the same time, data necessary for an AI tool to work is often siloed across organizations. Access control is important, Clydesdale-Cotter adds. Many POCs appear to lack clear objections and metrics, he says.
The right tools and technologies can keep a project on track, avoiding any gap between expected and realized benefits. Clearing business strategy hurdles Choosing the right technologies to meet an organization’s unique AI goals is usually not straightforward. But this scenario is avoidable.
The study also found that IT leaders currently see AI as more of an employee productivity tool than a driver of innovation.

We’ve changed our software development tools multiple times over the years.
2025 will be the year when generative AI needs to generate value, says Louis Landry, CTO at Teradata. AI tools exacerbate the issue by exposing these data pockets, creating new security risks.
Since then, several organizations have begun using the technology , and major vendors such as Salesforce and ServiceNow have offered AI agents to customers. Agentic AI focuses on performing specific tasks and emphasizes operational decision-making instead of the content generation often associated with gen AI tools.
Baker says productivity is one of the main areas of gen AI deployment for the company, which is now available through Office 365, and allows employees to do such tasks as summarize emails, or help with PowerPoint and Excel documents. This is a use case thats been rolled out widely, he says, though not all tools are available to all employees.
He’s also adding other emerging technologies, including using Freshworks’ generative tool, Freddy AI, to summarise service requests. The group includes the CTO, the VP of technology, and business leaders from other functions, including finance and HR. “One Just come and say, ‘We’ve found this tool.

IT leaders should be under-hypers rather than over-hypers, and promote technology only in the context of business cases. According to Ron Guerrier, CTO of Save the Children Foundation, one way of helping business leaders learn whats really possible is to recommend books to read on AI. This is going to be critical, he says.
Overemphasis on tools, budgets and controls. FinOps initiatives often prioritize implementing cost-management tools over cultivating a culture of accountability and collaboration, which is essential for lasting change. Neglecting motivation. A more compelling driver like addressing climate change is needed. Long-term value creation.
Your communication strategy is lacking Leaders often overlook the importance of building strong communication links between management and team members, says Pavlo Tkhir, CTO at software development firm Euristiq. Leveraging AI tools to gather insights on employee sentiment and project impact can inform real-time adjustments, Mohanty says.
The high price of FOMO New AI tools are coming out seemingly every week, each one promising to revolutionize some area of work.
