Frank Scaramuzza
Frank is the Chief Information Officer at Kimball Homes, one of the largest privately held homebuilding firms. During the last 2 1/2 years at Kimball Homes, Frank led multiple initiatives to enable seamless integration and high availability of mission critical applications and data resulting in significant bottom-line improvements. This includes implementing a distributed data network with over 100 remote locations across the nation, and subsequently implementing a Sales Automation Tool. The Kimball Hill Homes sales force consists of over 180 professionals who are located in the over 120 locations where Kimball Hill Homes is building today. Kimball Hill Homes has also recently implemented a Business Intelligence Solution (Business Objects) and a scheduling system that is used by field personnel to automate the construction tracking process. Frank has been an Information Technology professional for over 15 years. Before joining Kimball Hill Homes, Frank successfully ran his own consultancy and consulted for well known corporations like Waste Management, GE, and Altira (formerly known as Kraft Foods). He then merged his firm into an upcoming dot-com company that ended up being recognized as one of the largest dot-com buyouts in history, and left the merged company in late 2000 to join Kimball Hill Homes.

Are CIO's guilty of DUI?
IT has its near misses and unnecessary crashes. As in the case of a DUI, we may be quick to ascribe such  failures to bad choices and the taking of unnecessary risks under the undue influence of pressure, politics, foibles, or  fears, but where is the evidence? Are CIO's guilty of driving IT under such influence?
