By using a contract CIO on a project or part-time basis, a growing business gets the best of both worlds: an experienced IT professional at far less than what it would cost to hire someone full time.
Using a contract CIO can make sense for businesses that:
- Could use the expertise but can't afford to pay someone full-time
- Has outgrown its current IT setup, needs to upgrade, and wants input from someone who knows the marketplace well enough to suggest solutions that would be a good fit
- Has technology project that calls for more expertise than the company's in-house IT manager can offer
- Is involved in merger or acquision and could use an outsider's advice on how to blend different IT systems
