Fully Managed IT
Your complete IT department, run for you.
Fractional CTO / vCIO
Technology leadership, without the executive salary.
A senior technologist who sits with your leadership team, turns business goals into a technology roadmap, and makes sure every dollar spent on IT earns its place.
Who it’s for
For leadership teams making technology decisions without a technology executive.
You don’t need a full-time CTO. You do need someone accountable for the technology plan.
- IT spend that feels large, but nobody can explain what it buys.
- Growth, a new office or an acquisition on the horizon.
- A board or owners asking about cyber risk and resilience.
- Vendor sprawl: too many tools, contracts and renewals.
- Questions about AI, automation and modernization with no one to evaluate them.

Questions
What leaders ask us.
What’s the difference between a vCIO and a fractional CTO?
In practice, very little at this size. Both describe a part-time technology executive. We use "fractional CTO" when the work leans toward product and technology direction, and "vCIO" when it leans toward operations, budget and risk. You get the same senior person either way.
Is strategy included in managed IT?
Yes. Every fully managed plan includes quarterly business reviews and roadmap planning. Organizations that don’t need managed IT can engage fractional CTO services on their own.
Can you help evaluate an acquisition?
Yes. We run technology due diligence: security posture, technical debt, licensing, integration cost and risk. After close, we plan and deliver the integration.
What does a fractional CTO cost?
It’s included in every fully managed plan. On its own, it’s a flat monthly retainer based on how much leadership time you need, typically a set number of hours per month plus quarterly reviews. See how pricing works.
