What does a VCIO do?

First and foremost, a virtual CIO is an IT strategist and advisor. They provide objective insights into your existing IT system, help identify any pain points, and develop strategies to achieve your business technology goals. This includes developing a long-term IT plan, recommending new technology solutions, and managing relationships with vendors.

A virtual CIO assists small and medium-sized businesses who want to bridge the gap between their internal IT team and their business goals. They will help bridge the gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of your IT system, including assessing the network infrastructure and identifying potential risks. Moreover, a virtual CIO will also evaluate existing hardware and software systems, analyze IT security protocols, and also recommend solutions that increase efficiency and reduce operational costs. We work side by side with many organizations that have their own IT department on project design, implementation and management. We hold weekly or bi-weekly meetings to see what needs done, if there is over flow that we can assist with, and planning for growth in the organization.

Another essential task that a virtual CIO does is provide budgetary recommendations. They work with the business executives to provide reliable financial planning for projected IT expenses and assist executives in determining what technology purchases would benefit the company the most. The virtual CIO will help map out a budget that prioritizes technology investments based on company objectives and the risk that goes along with those investments.

Virtual CIOs can also oversee IT projects and ensure that technology projects stay aligned with the organization's strategic vision and goals. They work in collaboration with internal teams and vendors, specializing in specific areas such as consulting, security, or compliance. Therefore, facilitating the coordination of various specialized providers. This allows the internal IT team to focus on day-to-day operations while the virtual CIO can manage the more advanced projects.
