IT Consulting
& Strategic Planning

A vCIO provides ongoing strategic IT leadership on a part-time or retainer basis, essentially functioning as your outsourced Chief Information Officer. Unlike project-based consulting, a vCIO maintains a continuous relationship with your organization, attending board meetings, managing vendor relationships, and guiding long-term technology strategy. You get executive-level IT leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CIO.

Engagement length varies by scope. A focused technology assessment might take 2-4 weeks, while a comprehensive IT strategy and roadmap development typically requires 6-8 weeks. Ongoing vCIO services are typically structured as monthly retainers. We always provide a clear timeline and milestones before beginning any engagement.

We have deep experience across multiple industries including healthcare (HIPAA compliance), financial services (PCI-DSS, SOC 2), legal, manufacturing, professional services, and technology companies. Our consultants understand industry-specific regulations, challenges, and best practices, allowing us to provide tailored recommendations.

Every recommendation we make includes implementation considerations—budget estimates, resource requirements, timelines, and prioritization. We can also provide implementation oversight to ensure our strategies translate into real-world results. Our consultants have hands-on experience implementing the solutions they recommend.

Depending on the engagement, deliverables typically include: Executive Summary with key findings and recommendations, Current State Assessment Report, Gap Analysis documenting improvement opportunities, Technology Roadmap with prioritized initiatives, Budget Estimates and ROI projections, and an Implementation Plan with milestones and responsibilities.

Yes, vendor management is one of our core services. We help develop RFPs, evaluate vendor proposals, conduct due diligence, negotiate contracts, and manage ongoing vendor relationships. Our vendor-agnostic approach ensures recommendations are based solely on what is best for your organization.

We treat all client information with the strictest confidentiality. Every engagement is covered by a non-disclosure agreement. Our consultants follow strict data handling protocols, and we never share client information without explicit permission. We are ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to information security.

Three things set us apart: First, we are practitioners, not just advisors—our team actively implements the solutions we recommend. Second, we are vendor-agnostic and focused solely on your best interests. Third, we maintain ongoing relationships through our vCIO services, ensuring strategies are executed and evolved over time. We are your long-term technology partners, not just project consultants.
