Strategy
IT strategy translated into a feasible roadmap with clear priorities.
Fractional CIO · CIO-as-a-Service for SMEs
Your CIO, exactly when you need one.
Experienced IT leadership without hiring a full-time CIO. Structure in your IT choices, budgets, partners, risks and projects, through a steady rhythm of on-site and remote guidance.
Challenges
Steering IT without a full-time CIO is a skill of its own.
Your organisation is growing, your IT is getting more complex, and the big decisions rarely rest with someone who deals with it every day. Sound familiar?
Decisions without a counterweight
Who challenges proposals from suppliers and internal wishes?
A budget that gets out of hand
No predictable annual budget, no view of real costs.
Suppliers set the agenda
Contracts and SLAs are rarely reviewed independently.
Security as a blind spot
Risks and continuity are only discussed after an incident.
Projects without priorities
Too many at once, too little insight into value, timing and risk.
No IT voice in management
Technology isn't translated into clear business language.
Services
Six service pillars, one fixed point of contact.
Architecture
Future-proof choices around cloud, infrastructure, applications and data.
Budget
Drawing up, monitoring, forecasting and optimising the IT budget.
Suppliers
Independently challenging partners, contracts, SLAs and proposals.
Portfolio
Monitoring projects on value, risk, timing, dependencies and budget.
Security
Security, continuity and governance check-ups with follow-up of improvement actions.
