Computing is all about the IT leader - whether that's the CIO, CTO, IT director, chief architect or any one of dozens of other titles. Having spoken to hundreds of IT leaders over the last 12 months and beyond, we feel well qualified to produce the definitive rankings for the top 100 IT leaders in the UK.

To produce this list we took into account factors like size of organisation, size of department, annual budget, duration in role and level of transformation achieved. Then, in consultation with industry experts, we undertook the incredibly challenging task of producing the final list - a task which became ever trickier the closer to the top we got.

Do you feel that you should be on this list? Should you be placed higher? Then contact the editorial team, we'll arrange an interview and next year, it could be you sitting at the top.

    Damien Turner

    Head of IT, Holiday Extras

    As head of IT for Holiday Extras, it's Turner's responsibility to make life as easy as possible for customers, something which saw the firm shift its infrastructure to the cloud. "I can sit there and say 'today is going to be busy, so I'll boost my infrastructure again' and then I can kill it the day after. To have that flexibility is very good," he told Computing

    Brendan O'Rourke

    CIO, Telefonica

    O'Rourke has 23 years experience in the telecommunications and information technology industries focusing on Operations Management, Technology Implementation and Business Transformation. He has been CIO at Telefonica Digital for just over two years. He is a strong proponent of software as a service, and cloud services generally: "Our view is that on-premise or cloud nets out pretty even, but cloud works out better in terms of agility and flexibility. It's not just about the commercials, but you take the risk out of growth in demand, and simple things like platform upgrades just happen," he told Computing recently.

    Allan Paterson and Peter Clarke

    Allan Paterson and Peter Clarke

    IT Director and CTO respectively, The Isle of Man Government

    The Isle of Man Government was an early-adopter of cloud computing, making the transition to a hybrid cloud system in September 2011, which Clarke claims helped to cut IT costs by 15 per cent or about £250,000 per year. That move now seems far-sighted and has helped make the Isle of Man Government's £14m IT budget, which needs to manage more than 1,000 different services, go further.

The construction work entails a large amount of design drawings and data information, and so the firm has had to depend on certain software to ensure that its employees can collaborate with the Department of Transport, its stakeholders and the industry.
