Fractional CIO Services

Many smaller organizations have large organization problems. Technology and information resources are a critical part of your business. The full time staff that you employ are completely occupied with daily maintenance and support tasks. They do not have the time or expertise to perform the large scale planning, analysis, review and management that complex technology demands. In a larger organization this role would be filled by a Chief Information Officer. However smaller organizations can not justify the expense of hiring this position for a full time role.

Fractional CIO Resources LLC can help bridge this gap. We will design a custom fractional plan encompassing a fixed number of hours per week dedicated to your organization. These hours can be allocated to provide the optimal benefit to your organization while providing you access to highly experienced personnel. Hours can be divided between current technology review, staff management, new project work, long term planning, executive management presentations, Interfacing with internal and external clients, and many other options. As a client of our fractional CIO offering, we will be there for you when you need us. When unexpected events happen you know you will have an experienced  resource to reach out to.
