10 BENEFITS OF MANAGED IT SERVICES
What is a Virtual CIO?
What Does a Virtual CIO Do for Your Business?
"What does a Virtual CIO actually do for our business?"
A vCIO functions much like a traditional Chief Information Officer, providing high-level IT leadership and ensuring that your technology is aligned with your business goals. Unlike traditional IT support, which often focuses on day-to-day troubleshooting, a vCIO takes a proactive, strategic approach to IT.
Here’s what a vCIO does for your business:
Develop a Long-Term IT Strategy
One of the primary responsibilities of a vCIO is to help you create a long-term technology roadmap that aligns with your business goals. Instead of simply reacting to IT issues as they arise, your vCIO will work with you to plan ahead, making sure your technology infrastructure can scale as your business grows.
- Cloud Adoption
Are you thinking about moving to the cloud? Your vCIO will help you evaluate cloud solutions, guiding you through the process and ensuring a seamless transition.
- Software & Hardware Planning
- IT Infrastructure Scalability
As your business grows, so does your need for more robust IT infrastructure. Your vCIO will ensure that your IT systems are scalable and can support your long-term objectives.
Cybersecurity & Risk Management
- Security Assessments:
Your vCIO will conduct regular security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and recommend solutions to protect your data and network.
- Compliance Management
- Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
A vCIO helps you create and implement a disaster recovery plan so that your business can continue operating even in the event of a data breach or system failure.
IT Budgeting & Cost Management
One of the greatest challenges businesses face when it comes to technology is budgeting. It’s easy to overspend on technology without a clear understanding of what you actually need.
Your vCIO provides guidance on IT spending, ensuring that you make smart, cost-effective decisions that benefit your business in the long run.
- IT Cost Savings
Your vCIO will evaluate your current IT infrastructure to identify areas for cost savings. Whether that’s optimizing software licensing, eliminating unnecessary tools, or upgrading to more efficient hardware, we’ll help you cut costs without sacrificing performance.
- Transparent IT Budgeting
We’ll work with you to create an IT budget that aligns with your business goals and provides predictable costs, so you’re never hit with unexpected expenses.

Vendor Management
Managing relationships with multiple technology vendors can be a headache for businesses. From negotiating contracts to handling support issues, it can be time-consuming and confusing. A vCIO takes on vendor management for you, acting as your advocate and ensuring you get the best deals and support from third-party vendors.
- IT Cost Savings
Your vCIO will evaluate your current IT infrastructure to identify areas for cost savings. Whether that’s optimizing software licensing, eliminating unnecessary tools, or upgrading to more efficient hardware, we’ll help you cut costs without sacrificing performance.
- Contract Negotiations
Your vCIO will review your contracts with software and hardware vendors to ensure you’re getting the best possible value.
- Support Coordination
If there’s an issue with any of your vendors’ products or services, your vCIO will handle the coordination of support, so you don’t have to deal with the back-and-forth.

When Does Your Business Need a vCIO?
"At what stage of business do we need a CIO or Virtual CIO?"
It’s a common question for business owners—at what point do you need dedicated IT leadership? While every business is different, you might need a vCIO if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- Your IT has outgrown basic support
If your business has grown to the point where you need more than just break/fix IT services, a vCIO can provide the strategic planning you need to ensure your technology supports long-term growth.
- You're making major technology decisions
Whether you’re considering migrating to the cloud, adopting new software, or upgrading your network infrastructure, a vCIO helps you make the right choices with long-term goals in mind.
- IT is becoming a critical part of your business operations
If you rely heavily on technology to run your business, from managing customer data to processing transactions, having an experienced vCIO ensures that your IT aligns with your business strategy.
You don’t have to be a large enterprise to benefit from vCIO services. Even small businesses need strategic IT oversight as they grow, and a vCIO can help you scale your IT infrastructure without the cost of hiring a full-time CIO.
What Would It Cost to Hire a Full-Time CIO?
"What does a typical vCIO make in salary if we were to hire one as an employee vs. getting access to one through our IT partner like Succurri?"
Hiring a full-time CIO is a significant investment. Depending on the size of your business and location, the salary for a CIO typically ranges between $150,000 to $250,000 per year, and that’s not even including benefits, bonuses, or other overhead costs. For many small and mid-sized businesses, this cost is simply too high.
That’s where vCIO services come in. By partnering with Succurri, you gain access to the expertise of a CIO without the hefty price tag. Our vCIO services are included as part of our comprehensive IT support packages, providing you with high-level IT strategy and guidance at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time CIO.
With Succurri, you don’t have to choose between cost and expertise. You get the strategic IT leadership you need to drive your business forward—without the financial burden of a full-time executive.
