Virtual CIO Services

Virtual CIO services are increasingly popular for companies seeking IT strategy assistance – without the hefty price tag. Discover how we’re committed to providing Texas businesses the flexible support they require!

What Does a vCIO Do?

Many tech companies can’t afford an in-house, full-time virtual chief information officer. That’s where virtual CIO services come in. By bridging the gap between technology and business, Live Oak’s experts provide tailored recommendations that align with your strategies and budgets, including:

  • Developing a clear vision and present, short-term, and long-term IT strategy
    • Assessing current infrastructure
    • Identifying areas for improvement
    • Streamlining operations
    • Adhering to long-term strategies
  • Supporting the team’s IT initiatives and strategies
  • Creating a roadmap for technological implementation, upgrades, and maintenance to support evolving needs.
  • Advising on various IT issues, including trends, management, and operational efficiency.
  • Alerting businesses about compliance requirements 
  • Creating quarterly and annual budgets
  • Reviewing and reporting on IT system performance
  • Proposing technology solutions to tackle business goals
  • Ensuring technology systems are secure and compliant
    • Focusing on relevant laws and regulations
    • Assessing cybersecurity risks 
  • Developing/maintaining disaster recovery plans (to ensure minimal disruption in the event of a crisis).
  • Overseeing IT budgets and costs
    • Providing cost-effective solutions for technology investments
    • Helping to avoid unnecessary expenses.
  • Cultivating & implementing IT standards
    • Developing & managing a CIO dashboard with business metrics

Note: A vCIO provides strategic advice and solutions to management. The decision-making power rests with your C-suite.

Does My Business Need Virtual CIO Services?

Most clients contact us for vCIO services if they’re a smaller business, a start-up, or have budget constraints. They want to stay competitive in their industry, but their current leadership lacks the skills to make effective technological changes.

If you’re struggling to remain updated on industry trends or lack coordination between management and tech teams, a vCIO is a great way to scale your leadership needs.

Reach out to Live Oak

Just like managed IT services, each vCIO partnership requires individualized plans and achievable expectations. The right vCIO will build – and maintain – a close relationship with your business, ensuring long-term success and satisfaction.
