It's about making the right decisions
Spend less time worrying about technology decisions and more focusing on your business.
Technology
Technology moves at an exponential pace. If your business doesn’t keep up, you could soon see your business model become extinct. Just ask a taxi driver what happened when Uber hit the block.
Recommendations
Today, any size business can leverage technology as an advantage over competitors and as a way to improve their service/product delivery. We give you the tech information you need to go to battle in your industry.
Long Term Strategy
A technology decision is a set of decisions (related to the use and development of technology) intended to confer advantage to your firm. We help you make the right decisions.
Make sure you have someone in your corner
Whether you’re a small company trying to pick the right outsourced IT provider, a midsize company with a small IT department trying to choose technology and create a strategy, or an enterprise trying to figure out the best way to make that huge ERP project a success, we’re here to help.
IT is Complex
We are experts and we’ll take your side as an unbiased advisor.
Ever wish you had an expert who wasn’t trying to sell you something?
Perhaps it has the best margin, or just happens to be the technology they know.
We strictly provide advisory services. We get to know your business. We make recommendations and you can be confident in them because we won’t be selling you the projects.
Passion
Coffee
vCIO breathes new life into your IT department.
With vCIO advising your IT strategy, you’ll start to see the difference in your business operations immediately; it could be cost savings, operational efficiencies or project successes. We tailor our advisory to the pain points your business is facing. Our successes are common even if your outsourced IT provider or internal IT team is top notch.
We recommend all types of technology, solutions and frameworks.
We work with you to find out what problems you are facing and how your company culture plays a role. We’ll help you make the decision that is best for your company. Once we really understand your business, we make our recommendations.
Our Process
vCIO is more than just a service, it’s a way of thinking.
vCIO spends time learning not only your IT but your business.
We work with you and your team to really get to know your culture and the issues you are facing. Every company is different and no solution is a one-size fits all – IT is complex. We work with your executive team all the way to the front-line staff to learn the processes you find challenging. We’ve proven that this is the only way you can truly fix any issue — by fully understanding all the aspects. Often, we’ll find problems where they weren’t obvious. This is key to a successful advisory engagement.
Once we've gathered the information we need we start coming up with a plan
We analyze the issues at hand and as ourselves several strategic questions.
Next, we start working with you to finalize a plan to create a solid foundation
We figure out what the Minimum Viable Solution (MVS) is for the problem(s) you are trying to solve. This gives us a clear and succinct vision of the end goal.
As soon as we know the clear end goal, we can ask ourselves how this affects the entire process which we’ve spent time learning.
This sets us up with a solid foundation to work together upon and solidify solutions.
There are a lot of different blocks that will help create the perfect outcome.
Now that we know your MVS(s) we look internally and externally for the best solution, not the one that will make the implementers a lot of money.
We consider new and emerging technologies to ensure we aren’t implementing a soon to be outdated solution. We also consider the possibility of a better solution “coming out soon” and then we help plan for it. At this point the goals are clear.
vCIO will ensure your solution is working before we finalize our engagement.

Disclaimer
Because we have the best of the best working with us, some members of our team may hold roles with various IT departments, service providers or other technology-related companies. Our goal is not to execute your projects but instead to give you completely unbiased advisory. This is why we begin and execute every project under the premise that we will not be implementing the recommendations we create with your team.
