The Chief Information Officer of a company, usually referred to as the CIO, is responsible for strategic IT planning, analysis, and overall information technology management. However, employing someone in this executive level position is normally not feasible for small and midsize companies due to limited budgetary resources.
Due to the rapidly changing nature of technology, and the need to maintain a state-of-the-art cutting-edge to stay ahead of the competition, technology can quickly become a heavy burden for a business owner or CEO. By implementing a Virtual Chief Information Officer, that burden is lifted from the business owner and put in the hands of the vCIO. The business owner no longer has to worry about the company’s IT systems, and can concentrate their efforts on more important matters, like running the business and making a profit. He or she can now focus on the day-to-day operations of the business, then meet with the vCIO to discuss technology matters and ensure the company’s IT is aligned to the business objectives of the company.
A vCIO is outsourced, providing these valuable services at a much lower cost than having an in-house CIO on staff.
