ORLANDO, Fla, --- Dr. Mark Mooney, co-founder of MyEduLife, a local educational technology company, is featured in the new book “CIO’s at Work” by Ed Yourdon.

Yourdon, an internationally recognized computer consultant, interviewed Dr. Mooney as one of the world’s most influential chief information officers.

“CIO’s at Work” is available at most book stores and at Amazon.com.

Dr. Mooney co-founded MyEduLife to provide data governance for educational institutions.

Dr. Mooney’s profile in “CIO’s at Work” details how MyEduLife creates partnerships between technology professionals, college and university business unit leaders and external customers, suppliers and business partners to address data governance problems arising from the emergence of new technology within the college and university environment.

Dr. Mooney also shares his personal insights into the changing role of technology in business, such as his decisions and futuristic approaches to new data sources with the increased use of mobile devices.

“New technology is reshaping the delivery of educational services in the industrialized world and creating tremendous opportunities for educators and students,” Dr. Mooney said.

“The widespread use of mobile devices and new applications promises the potential to provide higher education to greater numbers of students in a more cost-effective mode than the traditional university campus, classroom and lecture halls,” Dr. Mooney said.
