No one owns the technology plan
Spend happens when something breaks or a vendor calls. Nobody's mapped what the business will need in two years.
Professional services & strategy
Technology planned around the business.
Strategic IT advice and the hands to deliver it: from a virtual CIO and roadmap to migrations, office moves and extra people for your team.
Sound familiar

A merger, a new office or a system migration, and the IT side needs to land on time without stopping work.

Virtual CIO
A technology leader, without the full-time salary.

- A seat at the tableTechnology advice at leadership and board level, in plain English.

The work is done, tested and documented, and your team knows what changed.
Questions
What people ask about projects and strategy.
How is a project priced?
From an agreed scope. You get the scope, timeline and price in writing before any work starts.
What does a virtual CIO actually do?
Owns your technology plan: sets the roadmap and budget, advises leadership, manages vendors, and makes sure projects deliver what was promised.
Can you provide people for our team?
Yes. We offer contracting and staff augmentation, from a single engineer for a project to ongoing extra capacity.
Will the work disrupt our staff?
We plan around your business. Disruptive changes can be scheduled out of hours, agreed with you up front.
