What is a vCIO?
A Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) is a third-party consultant, usually employed in a part-time capacity, to assist with technology strategy and project implementation.
Many businesses enlist the services of a vCIO to act as a trusted advisor to the board, management team or internal IT team.
With access to on-call expertise and leadership, your business can make better informed IT decisions that align with your business goals.
