vCIO Los Angeles

Businesses from the solopreneur to the smaller companies under 500 employees all need someone who is technical to help run or assist 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.

Some of you also are the only employee, like myself. Being your own employee means you have to have help still. You can’t possibly know it all and Google is not always your friend. Researching an Outlook issue can cause you hours of confusion and wasted time you could be doing other things for your business. I have a few people that I hire to help me run my company, most are software systems but I do have a few people that I pay as contracted for help.

Technology changes way too fast to keep up with and I’m not even talking about Office 365. I find new things change daily and that’s my job to keep up with. The majority of my clients who call me for Outlook and Office 365 help, typically are self-managing their systems, meaning you are not paying a company to manage your Microsoft Windows, Anti-virus and Backups.

In the past year I have been asked by many clients to be their vCIO. I said that’s what I have been doing for many years for my prepay ticket clients. I help them all with their technology without the huge price tag.

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).
