If your IT department is like most, you are struggling with day-to-day operations. This leaves very little time for strategic thinking about your business. Even if the time was available, would your team have the expertise and skill-set necessary to create a fully-featured technology plan, budget and business plan for the future?
Organizations often hire all-purpose employees… people who are able to wear multiple hats. These generalists are excellent at keeping the business running and creating a great deal of value; however, they may not have the depth of knowledge required to survey the technology landscape and make recommendations that will guide the future of your business.
As organizations turn to IT managed services partners to outsource more of their technology needs, there’s still a gap in terms of strategic thinking. A virtual CIO can help step into that gap and provide your business with the long-term strategic insight that will help you optimize your operations and crush the competition.
