Why leverage vCIO services from CNP Technologies

In today's age of digital transformation, servers, technology and even jobs are increasingly remote, located elsewhere. This "virtualization" of job roles is a cost-efficient way for small- and medium-size businesses (SMBs) to enjoy the expertise and experience of executive roles such as chief information officer (CIO).

The CIO role is critical if your business is looking to stay competitive in this era of rapidly advancing technology. Such a role, however, comes with a relatively high price tag. With a US average annual salary of nearly $158,000, it’s a price your business might not be able to afford. When you instead trust your IT environment to a CNP Technologies virtual CIO (vCIO), you’ll get the deep expertise and experience needed for planning, implementing and managing your technology without the full-time salary and benefits costs burden on your bottom line.

Benefits of vCIO services

With the massive adoption of the cloud and cloud-based workloads, our vCIO services are ideal for that flexible infrastructure where most SMBs already operate. Our virtual CIOs work remotely to perform the same core functions as in-house ones. They plan IT budgets and revise internal processes to align with your digital transformation initiatives.

If you’re like virtually every SMB, you want to improve and modernize your IT strategy in order to achieve your business objectives more efficiently. But, like most, you might never realize a return on investment from hiring a full-time CIO. The best option is to have vCIO services take care of all your technology-management needs.

Our vCIOs dedicate their full attention to refining and implementing the IT strategies of our client companies. They run compliance assessments, explore and monitor cloud migrations, decide which new technologies to deploy and plan tech road maps and budgets.

Our vCIO services also include reviewing and implementing robust disaster recovery and business continuity plans to help prevent and mitigate the effects of unplanned outages, disasters, cybersecurity attacks and employee negligence. They conduct detailed analyses of your IT environment to identify weaknesses, vulnerabilities and threats, and take proactive action to secure your overall IT architecture.

By taking advantage of our vCIO services, your business has access to an expert IT consultant with years of experience working with similar size businesses in the industry. Once they understand and align with internal business processes, goals and objectives, our vCIO becomes a valued member of your executive management team and can be consulted virtually to make recommendations for best business practices.

  • Gain a deep understanding of your business’s core processes and inner-workings
