Laserfiche has named Garrett Boss as its new Chief Information Officer, handing him responsibility for enterprise IT, security, and business transformation at the content management and process automation vendor.

The appointment puts a single executive over three domains that many mid-market software companies still split across separate roles: internal IT operations, the security posture of both corporate systems and product infrastructure, and the transformation agenda that ties technology investment to business outcomes.

Who is Garrett Boss?

Boss takes the CIO title at Laserfiche, a long-standing vendor in the enterprise content management (ECM) and business process automation market. The company announced the move in a statement distributed via AOL, confirming that his remit covers enterprise IT, security, and business transformation in a consolidated mandate.

For Laserfiche customers — largely government agencies, educational institutions, and mid-size enterprises running document management and workflow automation — the CIO appointment signals how the vendor organizes its own internal technology function as it modernizes its product line.

What does the role cover?

According to the announcement, Boss's responsibilities span three areas:

• Enterprise IT — the internal systems, infrastructure, and service delivery that run the company's operations.
• Security — oversight of the security function, a domain CIOs increasingly own directly as regulatory and threat pressures mount.
• Business transformation — the change programs that connect technology strategy to operational results, a scope that positions the CIO as a business leader rather than a pure infrastructure head.

Why consolidate these portfolios now?

Combining IT, security, and transformation under one CIO reflects a broader enterprise pattern. Boards and CEOs want a single accountable executive for how technology serves the business, and they want security embedded in transformation decisions from the start rather than bolted on later.

For a software vendor like Laserfiche, the internal IT organization also functions as a showcase. Customers evaluating ECM and process automation platforms routinely ask vendors how they run their own operations — and a CIO-led transformation program gives the sales organization a reference story built in-house.

What happens next?

Boss assumes the mandate effective with the announcement. The company has not publicly detailed specific initiatives, timelines, or budget figures tied to the new CIO's agenda in the announcement distributed through AOL.

CIO Monitor will track whether the appointment produces visible changes — new security certifications, modernization of internal systems, or transformation milestones — as Boss settles into the role.
