IT Strategy & Virtual CIO
Senior technology leadership, without hiring a full-time executive.
A virtual CIO sits with your leadership team to plan technology around business goals: budgets, roadmaps, vendor decisions, risk and growth.
Many growing companies make big technology decisions reactively, when a server fails or a client demands a security review. Our vCIO service gives you a rolling three-year roadmap, an annual budget and an experienced advisor in the room when you choose vendors, open locations or acquire another business.

Common questions
How is a vCIO different from managed IT?
Managed IT keeps systems running day to day. A vCIO focuses on direction, budget and decisions. Many clients use both.
How much time does the vCIO spend with us?
Typically a set number of hours each month plus quarterly reviews, scaled to your size and the projects underway.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. We can act as an independent advisor alongside another provider.
