" Mr. Janulaitis also said, "In addition we found that the average tenure for CIOs has moved up to 4 years 4 months from 4 years 3 months last at this time. " He added, "Most of the real growth in both hiring and compensation has been in mid-sized organizations (revenues between $50 million to $500 million).
