The roles of CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and CIO (Chief Information Officer) are key organizational positions, each with distinct functions and daily responsibilities. While both manage technology in business, a simple distinction exists: the CIO typically focuses inward, aiming to enhance internal processes, while the CTO looks outward, leveraging technology to improve or innovate products for customers.
Uniskai by Profisea Labs is invaluable for both of these roles, as our comprehensive AI-based FinOps platform suggests cloud cost optimization strategies, and both CIO and CTO play crucial roles in the company's profit and revenue growth. Although all features provide useful information for company managers, the main focus is on the performance of DevOps engineers.

For instance, CIOs can evaluate the effectiveness of resources in Uniskai's Cloudsitter scheduling feature. It provides a clear overview of active and stopped resources, allowing checks on the accuracy of schedules in Policies to avoid overpayments.
