A quarterly roadmap with a number against every line. Vendors and contracts managed in one place. Reporting that answers what it costs and what it bought, in a page.
Nobody in the room owns the IT decision.
Below a certain size a company cannot justify a full-time CIO, so IT spend ends up decided by whoever is nearest: finance renewing a contract, the office manager buying laptops. A vCIO puts one person in the room who has seen the whole estate, holds the roadmap and the budget, and can say no to a renewal with a reason attached.
What a vCIO actually holds.
One person, across the whole estate, with the roadmap and the budget in the same document rather than in two.
- A rolling roadmap, reviewed every quarter, with a cost against each line
- An IT budget that separates running cost from project spend
- Vendor and contract register, with renewal dates nobody has to remember
- Contract negotiation and renewal, done before the auto-renew date
- Risk review covering security, continuity and single points of failure
- Board-ready reporting: what it cost, what it bought, what is next
- A technology standard, so new hires get the same kit and the same setup
- Somebody to call before a decision, not after it
How the quarter runs.
We take stock
Estate, spend, contracts and risks in one place. Usually the first time anyone has seen all four on the same page.
We agree the quarter
What gets done, what gets deferred and what it costs. Deferred is a decision with a date, not a silence.
We report against it
A page for the board at the end of the quarter, then the same three steps again with what changed.
Quarterly from Pro. A roadmap on CarpaCare.
Pro carries quarterly strategy. Premium moves it to monthly, and CarpaCare adds a dedicated account manager, full vendor management and a standing IT roadmap. Base does not include strategy time; it can be bought as a project if you want the estate reviewed once without committing to a cadence.
Projects, migrations and build work are quoted separately and covered by the same SLA.
The rest of this group.
The other three every client starts with. Most people take all four, because none of them stands up well on its own.
Who owns your IT budget right now?
If the answer is nobody in particular, that is the usual one. A short call and a look at what you spend is where it starts. No audit fee, no obligation.
