Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual CIO Services

What is a Virtual CIO? (vCIO)

Your virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) handles the tech investment, helping you grow. As small businesses are limited regarding the hiring budgets, outsourcing a CIO is one of the options to get complete support in IT operations. Frontline provides virtual CIO services for growing companies, for a strategic IT guidance that aligns technology with business goals. Not only do you get professionalism, but also save money on hiring a full-time CIO.

What types of businesses benefit most from Virtual CIO Services?

Small to mid-sized businesses that rely on technology but don't have an internal CIO or IT Director greatly benefit from Virtual CIO Services. Industries like healthcare, professional services, finance, and non-profits find particular value in strategic IT leadership without the full-time executive cost.

How often do we meet with our Virtual CIO?

We schedule formal quarterly vCIO strategy meetings with your leadership team to review IT performance, update plans, and set new priorities. Additionally, your vCIO is available throughout the year for advisory support as needs arise.
