Outsourced CIO Services

Outsourced CIO Services

Is your IT department ineffective and not well aligned with your overall business? Does your internal IT team feel overwhelmed with IT functions and lack direction in how to execute them? Then it is time for you to consider working with a Chief Information Officer (CIO).

One of the crucial roles of a CIO is to challenge the executive leadership to think strategically about technology across the company. They will also help you recognize cases where more advanced technology solutions can deliver a competitive advantage.

A CIO serves as the senior-most technology executive inside your company. Their role revolves around digital transformation, working in a cross-functional way than ever before. They must be agile and quick to respond to technology trends and the needs of your company.

While a CIO plays a crucial role in your technology needs, you may not have a budget for a full-time CIO. At Accelera IT Solutions, we outsource our CIO services so that you can have an IT professional guiding your business in the right direction at a cost you can afford. As your outsourced CIO, Accelera IT will help you with the challenging IT hurdles your company may be facing.

Why Outsource CIO Services?

An outsourced CIO plays a significant role in helping you develop an IT roadmap and strategic plan to guide your business' future initiatives. This professional focuses on your software application needs while ensuring your networks perform optimally and are secure and scalable.

You will achieve significant savings with an outsourced CIO by avoiding salaries, bonuses, and benefits necessary when hiring an in-house CIO. However, you will still have an expert providing the right direction for your business, helping you control costs, and enhancing your overall efficiency.

Benefits of Having an Outsourced CIO

An outsourced CIO stands in as a fiduciary with a legal mandate to guard your business assets. Their goal is to advise you objectively about essential opportunities and the risks of various investment options. When you have an outsourced CIO who functions more than an asset advisor, you will enjoy:

• Comprehensive and integrated advice: the advice you get from a CIO spans the entire asset management spectrum to help you reach your goals.
• Objectivity and transparency: the investment solutions a CIO provides are designed with your best interests in mind.
• An ongoing relationship: you always have an IT professional working closely with you for the ultimate benefit of the management process and investment performance.
• Responsibility: an outsourced CIO holds your investment manager accountable for investment performance and risk management. They closely monitor managers to ensure they meet mandates and achieve the desired results.
• Value for your money: outsourced CIO services are amortized over the life of the working relationship. As such, you avoid meeting the cost of a series of one-off consultation sessions.
