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 finance 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.
