Who it is for
Too big for instinct. Too small for a full-time CIO.
Organisations too big to run technology on instinct and too small to justify a full-time CIO, and growing businesses whose board is asking harder questions about technology spend and risk.
What we hear
Sound familiar?
Every vendor tells us we need their product. Nobody tells us what we actually need.
Our answerIndependent advice
How you engage
Included, or on a retainer
For small and mid-sized organisations on Nueva managed IT, virtual CIO guidance is included in the service at no extra cost. Larger or more complex organisations take a retainer they draw down as needed, and get a team of senior specialists rather than one person. The retainer is also available to organisations that are not Nueva managed IT customers, including those with their own IT team or another provider.

How we run it
A plan your leadership team owns.

From there, your virtual CIO meets your leadership team on an agreed schedule, keeps the roadmap and budget current, and reports progress in plain English.

- Security leadership for your board
A senior technology leader engaged on a schedule or retainer rather than employed full time. They own your technology strategy, budget and reporting.
For small and mid-sized organisations on Nueva managed IT, yes, to an extent that suits your size. Larger or more complex organisations use a drawdown retainer and get a team rather than one person.
No. The retainer is available to organisations with their own IT team or another provider.
Our virtual CIOs are measured on your outcomes. Where another provider or product fits better, we will say so and help you buy it well.
A virtual CIO focuses on running the business well: operations, risk, budget and vendors. If you build technology into your product or service, we can provide virtual CTO support on architecture, platforms and build versus buy decisions.
A consultant delivers a report. A virtual CIO stays accountable for the plan and reports progress to your leadership team.
