CIOassist Technologies Pvt Ltd. – www.cioassist.in

Today’s competitive landscape and market pressures are driving small and mid-sized businesses

(SMB’s) to work smarter, faster, and cheaper – to continually do more with even less. More than

ever before, SMB’s must be 100% focused on their core mission of delivering products or services

to market. Any activity or expenditure that doesn’t contribute directly to that mission must be

closely scrutinized. As a result, timely and secure access to information and data analysis has never

been more critical. Despite the obvious and growing need for it, effective and efficient information

technology (IT) continues to elude most SMB’s.

Until now, CIO-level strategic advice has been beyond the reach of smaller companies, not able to

justify hiring a full time CIO. As a result, many struggle with IT strategy, lacking the strategic IT

expertise to plan the highest value IT infrastructure and ensure all technology layers are optimised,

from software applications, to server environments, to security.

Our CIOservice is designed to give smaller companies the same level of technical expertise, business

experience, and strategic IT inputs, thereby levelling the playing field, delivering a pragmatic and

affordable way for mid-sized customers to achieve all of the cost savings and business advantages

that a smart, dedicated CIO can deliver via "CIO-On-Demand" service which provides enterprise-

class IT executive leadership and expertise to the small or mid-sized business management team

easily and affordably as an interim / timeshare engagement.

We help SMBs to transform information technology to align with business objectives at a

fractional cost of an in-house CIO.

We also help SMBs to achieve their business objectives by focussing on their core competence

and letting us manage their IT environment by
