Fractional CTO and virtual CIO
At your size a full-time technology executive is not a sensible hire, but the decisions that need one do not go away. Which system to buy. Whether the quote you have been given is reasonable. What to do about the software your whole business runs on that the vendor is sunsetting.
What you get
- Technology spend that is planned rather than reactive
- Decisions made on evidence instead of the loudest vendor
- A roadmap your leadership team has actually seen and agreed
- One person accountable for the whole technology picture
Technology decisions are getting made by whoever has the strongest opinion in the room, or deferred until they become urgent and expensive. There is no budget, no roadmap, and no one accountable for the whole picture.
How we run it
A technology roadmap tied to your business plan
What needs to change in the next twelve months, in what order, and what it costs. Written in the language of your business, not a vendor's.
An IT budget you can put in front of a bank
Recurring costs, refresh cycles, project spend and the contingency. Predictable enough to plan around and defensible enough to present.
Vendor selection and contract review
We read the quote, ask the questions you did not know to ask, and tell you when you are being sold something you do not need. We take no commission from any vendor, which is the only thing that makes that advice worth anything.
Quarterly business reviews
What happened, what it cost, what broke, what changed in your risk position, and what we are recommending next quarter. With a document you keep.
Someone in the room for the hard conversations
Due diligence for an acquisition, a client's security questionnaire, an insurance renewal, a system migration you cannot afford to get wrong.
What changes for you
- Technology spend that is planned rather than reactive
- Decisions made on evidence instead of the loudest vendor
- A roadmap your leadership team has actually seen and agreed
