Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCIO and why should I care?
A vCIO is a part-time or project-based IT executive guiding your strategy—without hiring one full-time. You get executive-level strategic thinking and planning without the six-figure salary and benefits overhead.
How is vCIO different from MSP services?
MSP handles operations and support; a vCIO delivers forward-looking strategy built around your goals. Think of MSP as keeping the lights on, while vCIO is planning where those lights should shine.
Why not just hire a full-time CIO?
Full-time CIOs cost six figures plus benefits. vCIOs give you expertise without the overhead, perfect for Lake County businesses that need strategic guidance but not full-time executive presence.
Can I scale the service?
Yes, services scale with you—project-based, part-time, or monthly retainers. Start small and grow the engagement as your needs evolve.
Do you work with my existing IT setup?
Absolutely—vCIO services integrate with your current systems and MSPs. We work with what you have and guide strategic improvements over time.
