When to call me

Most companies reach for a Fractional CIO at one of these moments.

  • Your revenue has outgrown your IT.The systems, team, and vendors that worked at $20M are straining at $60M. Tickets pile up, projects stall, and no one owns the plan for where technology needs to be in two years.
  • New ownership expects more.Private equity or a new board wants IT run like a professional function, with a budget, a roadmap, and accountability.
  • Your MSP is good at operations, but no one is steering.You're expecting strategy from a provider you hired to keep the lights on.
  • A major decision is coming.An ERP replacement, a cloud move, a security incident, or an acquisition, and no one in-house has led one before.
  • An outage would be a crisis.You're not confident in your backups, your recovery plan, or how long you'd be down.

Before we talk about technology

Three questions I ask first.

  1. Who owns the decision to spend on IT?You, or a committee that meets quarterly?
  2. What happens if a core system goes down for 48 hours?A minor headache, or a real crisis?
  3. When did your IT roadmap last change because your business strategy changed?Not the other way around.

If you can answer all three clearly, you may not need a Fractional CIO yet. You need a strong IT director, and I'll tell you that.

If you hesitated on any of them, that's where the real conversation starts.

Not sure if you need a Fractional CIO?

That's a good place to start. A 30 minute call usually answers it, and sometimes the answer is "not yet."
