Unfortunately, there are many businesses that don’t have the resources to hire a dedicated employee for IT strategy and planning. While your day-to-day employees may cover some of these needs, it’s nearly impossible to balance with other duties - this is where a virtual CIO (vCIO) can be incredibly valuable.
