We are always looking for innovative methods to lower expenses for our clients, improve their bottom line, and increase their resilience in the face of an IT landscape that is continuously evolving. Virtual chief information officers (vCIOs) are one of our greatest assets – and yours.
Your vCIO becomes one of your company’s most valued IT players because they are problem solvers, dependable business partners, fine-tuners, and long-term decision makers. They support planning, budgeting, and risk management results while coordinating IT with your corporate goals. This includes the vetting and selection of vendors, such as internet service providers (ISPs), web design/development groups, unified communications strategy, and other technical solutions.
Our vCIOs prioritize the success of their clients while working tirelessly to meet strategic objectives and boost performance in both the short- and long-term.

The virtual chief information officer (vCIO) is a uniquely versatile IT role – having one can positively impact business performance across so many domains, it’s hard to list them all. As we explained in a recent blog post, vCIOs drive time and cost savings, improved resilience, stronger security, and long-term revenue growth.
Like the role of chief information officer (CIO), the role of virtual CIO (vCIO) is steadily growing – so much so that the term “vCIO” has become a buzzword in some industries, with “real” vCIOs going out of their way to distinguish themselves from pretenders. But the position is not a fad, and demand for vCIOs won’t disappear any time soon, especially among small businesses.
