Virtual Technology Management

Today more than ever, your company needs information technology leadership to succeed. The roles of senior executives to understand your needs, translate those needs into a successful technology and direct your teams cannot be understated.

Unfortunately, those persons are in short supply and when you find them, expensive. Adding to the frustration is the realization that you are not a Fortune 500 firm, and truth be told, you may not really need someone 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year once the designs and plans are created and put into place.

Since day one, Affari has worked with many firms providing an economy of scale throough our Virtual CIO (“vCIO”) and Virtual CTO (“vCTO”) services. Leveraging our standards and practices as a framework and senior Executive Technologists dedicated to your company, we have created the best of both worlds! Your firm has access to an executive level resource with the business knowledge and experience with your firm only when you need them, at a cost level that is sustainable and appropriate to the needs of your business.

Using repeatable standards and Affari’s methods and practices creates an economy of scale that your firm alone can not create.

Understanding Business First

Technology success is about how to fit the pieces to enhance the business – and not about how cool the technology elements are or the current “tech fads”.

Connect the Dots

Having technology is just the start. How do all the parts combine to provide value? Are they driving you forward or holding you back?

It Takes A Team

Creating solutions means creating the team with a shared vision and the tools to build with.

Why Choose Virtual Management

Many companies either don’t know where to turn or do not have the needs or resources for a full time CIO or CTO. Virtual Management gives them the access to those resources. Access to senior experienced technology executive that have “been there and done that”.
One of the biggest challenges in most companies is the establishment of standards and practices for IT. More oft than not, technologists are left to their own devices each working to what THEY think is the way to do things. Leading to confusion, rework and potentially serious consequences if the only person who knows “X” quits!
From day one the processes, goals and efforts are focused on the business need and not on the technology. Affari’s team works first to learn the business nd business needs. Only then can they be translated into technology realities.
Combining your needs with all of the clients of Affari gives us purchasing leverage, resource and relationships to better negotiate for technology and services for your company.
