Your business may require a level of expertise which is not readily in reach. If you want an IT Director-level experience, holding deep-knowledge of core business operations and with extensive technical expertise to boot, you’re in the right place.
What is a CIO
A Chief Information (Technology) Officer is typically the most senior ‘tech’ in your business, the equivalent of an IT Director or VP of Technology. Experienced working at board-level, this service enables you to draw on decades of experience from senior individuals to expand your oversight without loss of equity.
We experience this service as an arms-length body, it is delivered by individuals external to Suzaku Consulting. This ensures that your CIO will hold us to the same standards they demand of all of your suppliers, regardless of their commercial relationship to us.
Who’s this for?
Typically SMEs which require further due-diligence and detailed review of IT operations would need this service. You may have come across the term ‘fractional’ with regard to services like these, this is an American-ism and it is more appropriate to think of this as a Non-Executive IT Director for hire.
A typical business requiring an IT Director would be a mid-sized organisation, working in regulated industries or one with a significant amount of oversight needed for IT operations. This would include but not be limited to: defence, healthcare, manufacturing, large charities and technology businesses handling sensitive data.
