vCIO & vCISO
vCIO
As an organization embarks on several essential and complex IT projects, it is important to have access to experienced leadership that understands the complexities of Information Technology. To that end, Intrinium will partner with clients to provide an Intrinium virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO), to guide the long-term and short-term development of the IT function within their business. A vCIO performs the same functions as a full time CIO, while using only a fraction of the time and leveraging standardized methodologies developed by Intrinium.
