Real-CIO Consulting

Large enterprises can justify a large technical staff led by a seasoned CIO.  Most cannot.  We want to help by providing consulting services on a short-term or long-term basis driven by your business requirements.

Contact us if:

  • You are between CIOs and you need to keep things moving forward until the new CIO is on-board.
  • You want a technical risk assessment of your People, Processes or Technology.
  • Your IT Department is not fully collaborating with your business teams.

  • You need to draft a budget for your IT initiatives.
  • You want an IT Strategic plan to compliment your business Strategic plan.
  • You want to draft IT or Security Policies to help protect your company.

Blogging and Writing

Education is a key element to a CIOs success.  A CIO must constantly be researching new technologies, honing new skills, and expanding experiences.  We provide blogs with useful, real world experiences and opinions.  Most will include humorous anecdotes, because let's face it, users do some funny things.  If you have a topic you would like us to cover, contact us with your suggestion.  If you would like us to write an article for your publication or speak at your event, please contact us and let us know.  Our rates are reasonable - sometimes free!
