CIO-on-Call

With internal and contract resources, most small and mid-size businesses implement, operate, and support their information technologies well enough for day-to-day operations. Without planning, budget, process analysis, and forward-thinking technology selection, these businesses often find themselves limited by or unable to exploit the capabilities of their current technologies.
Small and mid-size businesses cannot afford the luxury of a full time Chief Information Officer (CIO) or Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to strategically manage technology. Most small and mid-size business owners and managers have neither the time to learn nor the expertise to address the technology issues facing their businesses.
