What is a Virtual CIO?
A Chief Information Officer is not a corporate exec behind a fancy desk. Rather they are a key business partner helps tie all of the elements of your organization’s information technology together with strategic planning that:
- Aligns tech decisions with business goals
- Keeps your IT budget lean and focused on ROI
- Avoids costly mistakes before they happen
- Turns your technology into a competitive advantage, not a cost center
You can think of your Chief Information Officer as your Chief Investment Officer as well! A Virtual CIO is an IT expert from outside your organization that fills the role of CIO within your organization.
Why have a Virtual CIO?
Most small businesses do not realize they need a CIO to help bring their technology all together. They usually just do not need one full time! A vCIO allows you to get the expertise you need to start thinking strategically about your technology on a budget that is small business friendly. This is not some random consultant. Rather it is an IT professional versed in IT Enterprise Architecture that gets the time to know and understand your organization’s culture, value and priorities. Then use that information to help you plan the best way to get the most out of your technology.
