ABOUT
CIO Services
In today’s business environment, using the right technology can streamline processes, improve productivity and differentiate a company from its competitors. Selecting, installing, and maintaining the right custom mix of hardware and software can be a challenge for any growth oriented business. Technology solutions should adapt to rapidly changing business needs, workplace mobility, and fit within a budget. A company’s IT infrastructure is a crucial element to its success and requires regular care and monitoring to perform at an optimal level. Most
businesses with fewer than 250 employees find it difficult to afford a full‐time chief information officer (CIO) however, access to the technology strategies and resources a CIO provides can be a differentiating factor in
today’s competitive environment.
CIO Services is a different type of IT Company. Instead of just servicing your hardware, CIO Services can become part of your organization without the full‐time costs of an employee. We combine the knowledge of an IT and business consultant with software selection and hardware services, providing small businesses with the expertise of an enterprise class CIO through a shared or fractional ownership approach. You gain access to enterprise class services at small business prices. A knowledgeable IT and business consultant serves as your personal CIO, advising in operations and IT strategy, purchasing recommendations and project facilitation. You gain a complete solution for initiating, installing, supporting, managing, integrating, and monitoring the overall health of your information and technology systems to ensure that they perform at their best.
CIO Services can serve in an advisory capacity and/or, provide complete IT support of PCs, Phones, Tablets and Servers, as well as Hosted Microsoft Exchange, Hosted Remote Access, Hosted File Server, Cloud Based Systems and Mobile Solutions. In addition, a standard CIO Services agreement gives access to subscription based (always updated) versions of Windows, Microsoft Office, Exchange Email, Antivirus, Antimalware and desktop productivity software.
