What is a vCIO?
Strategic IT leadership for smarter business strategy.
A vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer) gives your business access to experienced, executive-level IT leadership – without the cost of a full-time hire. Your vCIO will guide your cloud, infrastructure and cyber security decisions, ensuring your IT aligns with your business goals. Whether you’re using a Managed Services Provider or not, a vCIO provides an important standalone strategic layer for any future-ready business.
Why your business needs a Chief Information Officer.
Technology changes fast, and reactive IT support won’t accelerate your business-growth or plan for the future. Without a clear ICT strategy, businesses risk falling behind or being exposed to preventable cyber risks. Podcom’s vCIO service gives you the experience and insights of a CIO who’s worked across a wide range of industries – without the overhead of employing a full-time executive. Our vCIO service will support your business goals with:
- A strategic roadmap for your IT environment.
- Best-practice ICT policy and tools for mid to large NZ businesses.
- A clear direction for infrastructure, cyber and cloud.
- Independent advice and vendor guidance with no sales agenda.
Guided tech decisions that protect, strengthen and grow your business.
