For enterprises, it’s a no-brainer. You must align your technology with your long-term business objectives. The CIO leads this charge, bringing strategic C-level thinking with technological expertise to the company. However, for small and medium-sized businesses, CIOs have often been a luxury, a long-standing, never-checked item on the wishlist. But that all changes now with vCIO services as your virtual CIO brings high-level technological thinking and business strategy to your company.

C-Level Thinking with Tech Expertise

Your technology should be working for you, not the other way round. As an SMB, you may have found yourself in a situation where you are beholden to your technology, whether you like it or not. Your technology, for better or worse, dictates your workflow, your processes, your goals. A vCIO can change this.

Ultimately, your vCIO is your virtual C-level thinker with the technical know-how and business acumen to streamline processes and let you begin to leverage technology to your advantage. Whether you are launching a new product, expanding services or simply trying to get a handle on your network, your vCIO is there, in the boat rowing right along with you.

Minimize Cost, Minimize Waste

By engaging the vCIO expertise of a reputable managed IT services provider, you bring aboard a real partner in your company’s success. The vCIO will help you examine processes and workflow while aligning your IT budget with your business goals. This effort to minimize IT costs and eliminate wasted effort and wasted technology is one of the main benefits of the vCIO role.

Think of this: “The average U.S. worker wastes 22 minutes a day dealing with IT-related issues.” That quickly adds up to more than two weeks per year of wasted time. Part of what your vCIO does is cut down the noise. The noise is all the elements that slow down your progress and the productivity of your employees.

So much money is lost in ill-planned technology. In fact, on average, every office computer in the world has about $259 of unnecessary software on it. Add into this phone features that are unused or unnecessary, or software that doesn’t meet your needs: Tech costs can easily get out of control, but with a vCIO by your side, wasted tech expenses become a thing of the past.

Because the goal of the vCIO is to help your company achieve better results through technology. Whether it’s giving analytical feedback on your sales processes, formulating strategic IT thinking for long-term goals or realigning your current technology to fit your objectives, your vCIO is there to guide your executive team on missed opportunities that can be transformed into successes.
