Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) Services
One way TechBrain differentiates itself is through the provision of a Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) to our Managed Service clients at no additional cost.
What is a vCIO?
A vCIO is a third-party (such as a consultant or business) that offers a part-time person as a service to fulfill the role as a conventional CIO also commonly known as a Chief Digital Information Officer (CDIO) or Information Technology (IT) Director. A vCIO primarily focuses on understanding your strategic objectives and helping you understand the business impact of your technology decisions along with assisting you in the creation of your technology.
For SMEs, the advantages of having a vCIO on hand are significant. Largely, most SMEs don’t have the skill and expertise of an in-house CIO. For companies like these, and those who have evolved with technology, the vCIO serves to support the IT functions and strategy of the business. This unique service provides the business leadership with on tap access to their own private CIO, something that is normally only enjoyed by organisation’s with thousands of employees.
The vCIO primarily focuses on technical alignment – that is to say, aligning our client’s environment with best practice when consideration is given to the current needs of the operation and the broader strategic objectives of the business.
Technical alignment flows from our Network Administration service in Perth and goes to the vCIO to assess the business impact. The vCIO will invest the time required to understand our clients’ business and will make recommendations based on feedback from our Network Administration team.
