In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, your business will substantially benefit from the services of a seasoned CIO on a flexible part-time basis at a cost you can afford.

Making the right decisions around technology has never been more important. Yet in many cases, small and medium sized organisations are not able to justify the high costs associated with employing a Chief Information Officer, with the required skills and sector experience to understand and deliver effective IT strategy. My CIO – available as an in-person or virtual service – gives you the ability to examine potential strategic advantages and answer questions such as:

• How vulnerable is our company to cyber crime?
• Where is our data held and who has access to it?
• Are we GDPR compliant?
• How long would it take to recover our IT systems in the event of a problem, and what are the financial risks or structural stability to our business?
• Is everything documented for a regulatory inspection?
• How can technology successfully facilitate our businesses growth?
• How much do we spend on IT, what are we spending it on and are we getting value for money?

My CIO provides a methodology that brings clarity and control of IT back to your business in the most effective way.

A suite of measures that manage and support the technology and gives you more direction over spend, security and compliance.
