Let IT decisions be made by a manager on your side, not by vendors
In many businesses, IT investment decisions follow the recommendations of the companies selling the products. Budgets are spent without a plan, the products bought do not work together, and nobody is there to answer the questions asked in an audit.
In the Virtual IT Manager model we work as part of your leadership team: we manage IT strategy, budget and risk on your behalf, and evaluate vendors while sitting on your side of the table.
A virtual IT manager is also known as a vCTO, a vCIO, a fractional IT director or IT consultancy. You get the same management support without employing a full-time head of IT.
Sound familiar?
When IT has no seat at the leadership table
IT operations may be running; but if nobody is setting direction, money is spent while risk stays the same.
Vendors decide your IT investments
The company selling the product recommends which product to buy; no impartial evaluation takes place.
There is no annual IT budget
Money is spent as things break; management learns how much went on IT only from the accounts at year end.
The products you bought do not work together
Solutions bought at different times from different vendors overlap or leave gaps; licences are paid for twice.
Nobody can answer the questions in an audit
In a bank, client or regulatory audit, there is no competent person to answer IT questions on behalf of management.
IT staff have no direction
The technical team is buried in daily work; nobody sets priorities or measures performance.
Management does not understand IT, and IT does not understand management
Because technical risk is not translated into business language, necessary investment is not approved while unnecessary spending passes easily.

Frequently asked questions
Virtual IT Manager (vCTO): frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vCTO and managed IT services?
Managed IT runs day-to-day operations; the vCTO decides what to invest in, when and how much. They can be taken together or separately.
We have our own IT staff. Does it still make sense?
Yes. We give the team running your operations senior support on strategy, budget, audits and vendor management.
How often do we meet?
Depending on the plan, we hold a management meeting monthly or quarterly, and remain available in between for the decisions you need.
