Virtual CIO services: an IT roadmap and a budget
A virtual CIO (vCIO) owns the plan for your infrastructure, network, security, and disaster recovery, and sits with your leadership to review spend and risk. Our virtual CIO services give companies of 100 to 2,000 people that strategy without hiring a full-time CIO. Your vCIO builds an IT roadmap and budget, then reviews progress with you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a virtual CIO actually do?
Sets IT strategy and keeps it current. Your vCIO owns the roadmap and budget and reviews them with your leadership.
What does the roadmap cover?
Infrastructure management, firewall and virus protection, WAN/LAN health, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity, tied to where the business is heading.
How is a vCIO different from a one-time IT assessment?
An assessment provides a snapshot. A vCIO stays on and meets with you each quarter, so the roadmap gets updated as the business changes.
We have an IT manager. Do we still need a vCIO?
A vCIO supports your IT manager with strategy, budgeting, and planning.
Can a vCIO help with compliance?
Yes, on the planning side. If you work under HIPAA, PCI, FINRA, or CJIS, those requirements go into the roadmap and the budget.
Do you offer virtual CIO services outside Texas?
Yes. We're based in Plano, TX, and work with companies in Dallas-Fort Worth and across the U.S.
