Would you like to have another person to talk to that can explain in layman’s language the technology you’re using? CITOC provides you with your own part-time Chief Information Officer to help you understand what your technology does and how it helps you. As your business grows and technology evolves, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay ahead of the curve—especially without a dedicated vCIO.
CITOC provides you one alongside its ProActive information technology package. This client-facing role offers support and guidance, particularly in the areas of directing and designing a cloud computing system, managing your IT security system, aligning your IT strategies with your business goals, and keeping you up to speed on advancements in the latest technology.
Benefits of Using a Houston Virtual CIO
A Virtual CIO service for your Houston-based company will not only oversee your technology infrastructure but also facilitate forward-looking IT growth and development. And the benefits don’t stop there.

In addition to saving you money on hiring, salary, and benefits, your CITOC virtual Chief Information Officer will also help create a workable budget for your IT department, potentially saving you money on third-party consulting services and furthering the cost-effective nature of their role.
Increased Efficiency
