"Blueteam is very responsive and they listen to our business needs before recommending a solution. Working with Blueteam has been a breath of fresh air." -Tim. T., IT Manager
Hiring an executive technology leader is not an option for many businesses. Your Blueteam Virtual CIO will help you prepare for the future and provide access to an experienced IT team at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time expert. We’ll also bring the experience, lessons learned, and best practices from supporting many businesses, not only yours.
We partner with small to medium-sized business IT departments to deliver vCIO services. Our best practice experience helps to lighten the burden on your IT team. Find out more about our co-managed IT support.
If it doesn’t get planned, it’s not likely to get done. True vCIO services occur at set intervals (quarterly, biannually, etc.). That way, a rhythm gets established, and your company decision-makers know when to expect recommendations for IT improvements. Too many MSPs offer vCIO services on an unscheduled, ad hoc basis—meaning that, at best, they’re unpredictable and thus not helpful for actual planning, or, at worst, they happen rarely, if ever.
Blueteam bases its recommendations on data from ongoing assessments of our clients’ systems against standards intended to maximize both productivity and security. Any IT professional can tell you when your server is old and should probably be replaced. Blueteam can make that same recommendation based on the actual impact it would have on your business, and help you prioritize it based on your budget and other key needs you may have.
This one is tricky but no less important. True, any vCIO will recommend projects to improve your IT—just like a CIO would make recommendations to a CEO. However, a good vCIO will make such recommendations with your budget in mind and will help you strategize by pointing out which recommendations will have the most impact on your business and your goals, and which ones can wait till a later date. If a vCIO shows up with a list of recommendations and does not even consider your budget, goals, or timing needs, that’s a good sign that they see the meeting primarily as a sales call, rather than a value-add service. One way to tell on the front end whether an MSP’s vCIO services will be valuable is to consider whether their agreement incentivizes them to think like your internal IT department.
Our clients have commented that our vCIO service feels like we are members of their internal team. Get in touch to learn more about what a true vCIO would look like for your business.
