Hire a Virtual CIO to Guide Your IT's Future (and Budgets)
No business can grow without Information Technology costs. The decisions governing those costs usually land on the desk of a Chief Information Officer, or CIO.
Many companies don’t “need” the full-time services (or the expense) of a CIO. After all, CIO salaries start at around $300K/year.
However, since the wrong IT decision can trip up an entire company and drain thousands in budget, having access to CIO-level insight makes a big difference!
How do you square that circle? Can you take advantage of CIO-level insight without hiring one? Yes…use a Virtual CIO.
A Virtual CIO (also called a "Fractional CIO") is an on-call expert who learns the inner workings of your company and consults on an hourly or project basis.
What can a Virtual CIO handle for you?
- Company IT & cybersecurity strategy
- Planned network/branch expansions
- Overseeing system upgrades/replacements
- Regulatory compliance, such as SOX or HIPAA
- IT budgeting and cross-department IT planning
- C-level advising on IT decisions and operations
- Business Continuity planning (more important than ever)
With a Virtual CIO bringing decades of experience to bear, you're more likely to make better IT decisions and position your company for success.
