vCIO Consulting Services
Businesses from the solopreneur to the smaller companies under 500 employees all need someone who is technical to help run their IT infrastructure. Like many of my clients in 2008, business boomed during the recession and 12 years later…many of you have grown and outgrown managing your own IT. While many have delegated the “IT Director” title to someone in the company, most of those folks have other tasks to do and keeping up with IT and all related issues is very challenging. Since everyone is using the cloud for data of some sorts, having a FT person is unreasonable and not always the best use of a budget.
This is where I step in. The majority of my clients who call me for Outlook and Office 365 help, typically are self-managing their systems. I help run their Office 365 admin and basic systems issues. Most call me their “IT Director” jokingly, but it’s because I have admin access to their Office 365 and can step in and help admin on a moment’s notice. I give solid advice and help them run their self-managed systems (such as how to check your Windows updates often, how to close Outlook properly, stop Googling and call me first, is your backup current, call me before buying any software online).
