We see our vCIO Advisory Services as complimentary, offering a higher level of truly strategic CIO advice and guidance.

Our clients benefit from a more consistently innovative approach to IT that a vCIO can deliver. With our vCIO Advisory Services, our clients only pay for what the services they need — which can be very attractive to SMBs who cannot afford to bring on an expensive CIO full time.

Our vCIOs,  just like a traditional CIO, are not just technologists but seasoned business experts, with real-world C-level experience who understand how to apply technology to support our client's business goals.

David Russo, EOS's (Title?),  describes the primary responsibility of a vCIO as "Aligning a client's business objectives with their existing IT capability, analyzing how processes are handled, to formulate a strategic IT plan, that facilitates the right changes in technology. Just like our clients might rely on outside legal counsel for strategic legal advice, our vCIOs should be our client's go-to technical contact as well as a trusted business partner who understands how technology fulfills their company's unique needs."
