Need strategic-level thinking? Our Virtual CIO services support small to mid-sized Kiwi businesses with core IT strategies. Get insights to drive growth and mitigate risks.

Why you need vCIO services

For many Kiwi businesses, hiring for a CIO position can be costly. At the same time, the role of a CIO in strategic IT planning and implementation is invaluable.

If you don’t have a dedicated CIO, you may be facing these challenges:

Lack of technology strategy

Without a vision for transitioning to the cloud, deploying applications, or modernising your IT infrastructure, you won’t be able to harness the full potential of technology.

Cyber security concerns

Poor cyber security implementation and lack of security audits leave your business exposed to cyber threats that can negatively impact your company’s reputation and revenue.

Poor IT service quality

Smooth operation goes hand in hand with a quality IT help desk service, including patch management and software upgrades.

Lack of disaster recovery planning

Without a well-defined disaster recovery plan as part of your business continuity strategy, your business is exposed to permanent data loss and extended downtime.

The unpredictable costs of implementing and maintaining technology in-house can strain your financial resources. Without a CIO to align your tech investments to company goals, the costs will just continue to increase.
