Many businesses don’t have the resources to hire a dedicated chief information officer for their business. Americom can act as your virtual chief information officer (VCIO) and offer advice on day-to-day business technology decisions, technology roadmaps, software systems, cybersecurity, and other business processes.
Information technology consultants guide business owners on how they can achieve their business goals with technology. Many business owners need outside help with their technology strategy, cybersecurity practices, and software systems, and IT consultants are an affordable way for small business owners to access crucial support.
Some IT strategy consultants act as virtual CIOs or chief technology officers (CTOs) when business owners can’t afford to bring on a full-time executive of their own. Others offer short-term support as businesses build their technology infrastructure and make large hardware and software purchases. In some cases, IT consultants audit other IT providers’ work to make sure you’re getting the most out of your service.
At Americom, we offer IT management consulting services to help you create a business technology roadmap, implement security best practices, develop compliance rules, establish disaster recovery plans, and incorporate other technology solutions into your business. We are also happy to perform an IT assessment on your current provider’s work to ensure that they keep your data safe and use the best systems for your needs.
If you’re a small business owner trying to grow your company, virtual IT consulting has countless benefits that can improve your business long term. The main appeal of IT consulting is its affordability—instead of hiring a full-time, salaried technology executive, you can bring in an established IT professional when you need their help most. Your business doesn’t have to front the steep costs of hiring, onboarding, training, and providing benefits for a skilled employee.
When companies are trying to build their brand and expand their roots, cybersecurity often gets neglected. You might task one or two employees, neither with IT experience, with handling your network needs until you’re ready to bring on an IT team. However, companies that wing their IT strategy are at risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, IT compliance fines, and reputational damage. Instead of risking a cyber disaster, you can bring on an IT consultant from Americom to build a robust and secure network for your business.
