Most small and medium-sized enterprises don’t have the ability to hire a full-time, in-house CIO. The strategic expertise a CIO brings to your company’s IT and business operations is invaluable for staying competitive. Your business shouldn’t suffer just because you’re smaller in size. A Virtual CIO is a perfect solution for SMEs who want the benefits of a highly-skilled CIO without having to pay a large salary.

Since Virtual CIOs and companies that provide them work largely on a contract basis, you can tailor CIO services to your specific business needs. You might only require your Virtual CIO for a few hours each month to advise on a certain project. In that case, you wouldn’t want to overpay for services you don’t use. Our Virtual CIO consulting is scalable as well, so you can add responsibilities as your business grows.

The benefits of a Virtual CIO over a conventional one is 24/7 support. Since your Virtual CIO will be provided by our company rather than a single individual, we have a pool of experts who are available to take your requests or answer questions that come up – whenever they come up. There’s no point in having a Virtual CIO if they can’t be reached when you need them most.

Utilising the services of an outside entity for your Virtual CIO consulting has the benefit of objectivity. We maintain a suitable distance from any internal politics of your organisation that would potentially get in the way of successful business planning and IT operations. Having an objective, outside expert is often the best thing for the growth of your business.

Business continuity depends on security, which is why it’s is one of the most important tasks of a Virtual CIO. We’re cyber security experts, having advised many businesses across London on keeping their networks secure. We bring that expertise to our Virtual CIO clients as well.
