vCIO
Fractional CIO (vCIO)
Many companies don't need a full-time CIO, but they do need someone accountable for IT direction, budget and risk. A fractional CIO works with your management as much as needed — from a few hours a week to a few days a month.
Book a free consultationWho it's for
- IT decisions sit with a single admin or an outsourced provider, and management lacks the big picture.
- IT spend keeps growing, but it's unclear what you're actually paying for.
- Customers, your bank or insurer send security questionnaires and nobody can answer them.
- You're planning growth, a merger, a new ERP or a move to the cloud.
- Your IT head has left and you need a reliable interim CIO.
What you get
- IT strategy and a 12–24-month roadmap tied to business goals
- IT budget and cost review: licences, contracts, infrastructure
- Vendor selection, negotiation and SLA control
- IT risk register and cyber security priorities
- Regular reporting to management or the board in plain language
- Day-to-day coordination of IT staff and vendors
Frequently asked questions
How is a vCIO different from an IT services company?
An IT services company does the work. A vCIO represents your interests: decides what needs doing, holds vendors to account and reports to management.
How fast can we start?
After the first call we agree the scope of the assessment. Once it's done, we decide on the working rhythm.
Do you work with large companies?
Yes. For larger organisations I usually act as an interim CIO or lead IT transformation projects.
