vCIO/vCTO – IT Leadership

The CIO (Chief Information Officer) is typically an executive level IT (Information Technology). professional who has the responsibility of applying appropriate technology to help their company achieve its business objectives. Many, if not most, small to mid-sized companies cannot afford the expense of a full-time CIO. However, leveraging modern tools to efficiently run their business, while controlling cost and quality, are real and necessary focuses for your organization.

That is where a vCIO comes in. A vCIO is a consultant resource that can provide traditional CIO service, part time, as needed or a retained basis. A vCIO works directly with clients at the executive level performing many of the functions of a conventional CIO. They work as advocates for our clients, not as part of the sales team; they have no quota.

With the guidance and support of our vCIO’s, CadillacTech will provide the following for our customers, with their best interests in mind:

Technology Roadmap

CTS uses a road mapping approach that is used to create product, service, and technology roadmaps. The CTS process helps to ensure that technology decisions and developments are aligned with product/service plans, and that the product plans fit with business and customer needs.

Identify opportunities for innovation or contemporary technologies

As is true as change, sometimes systems that work perfectly fine are superseded by their manufacturers and may no longer be supported. We have the experience to efficiently help you lead your organization to be a business enabler of your enterprise, not a cost center.

Business process analysis (BPA) where needed

A method used to understand a process and improve its efficiency. It looks at the steps and parties involved in a specific process, as well as the information exchanged. As such, business process analysis is an aspect of the larger concept of business process management.

Budget Planning

Budget planning is the process of developing a budget for an organization, department, team, program, project, or initiative. Budgets are a plan to spend money to achieve objectives. There is no way to separate the money from the objectives. As such, budgets and strategy are planned together.

Facilitating technology projects and changing Strategic IT Goals
