Think Of Your Technology as an Investment, Not a Cost

Have you ever looked at your technology bills and thought, “All I do is spend money on technology. It never actually makes me money.” This mindset is what keeps businesses trapped, seeing technology as a necessary evil and a cost center rather than a source of innovation and inspiration. But what if your technology was built in a way that accommodated scale and growth?

This is exactly what a Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) does. With Fuse Networks on your side as your vCIO, you can stop reacting to your technology problems and instead lead strategically with your technology.

Understanding the CIO

Up until 1981, the title of Chief Information Officer didn’t exist.

Of course, back then, computers weren’t nearly as functional as they are today. Nowadays, the CIO is perhaps one of the most important people on your payroll, ensuring that there’s continuous scalability occurring behind the scenes. The secret that qualified CIOs don’t know, however, is that your business doesn’t need a full-time, six-figure executive calling all the shots, even if it does need that level of strategic leadership.

That’s where the cVIO shakes things up.

How a vCIO Changes the Game

A vCIO service like what Fuse Networks offers is the vector by which your business will go from where it is today to where it wants to be. Our service focuses on three core factors:

• Proactive budgeting: Most businesses will waste money when a server dies or a laptop crashes, spending more money than needed to recover. We’ll make it easier to avoid doing this by planning out your hardware and software refreshes three years out. This keeps your cash flow locked in and helps you avoid unnecessary expenses.
• Strategic risk management: IT isn’t just about fixing technology; it’s about making sure your investments are in line with your company’s cyber insurance and industry compliance needs. We’ll make sure your bases are covered well in advance of any potential crisis.
• Operational efficiency: If manual tasks are sapping your profits, you can look for automation opportunities that can free up your most valuable resources for more high-value work.

Turn Your Tech Into a Growth Ladder

If you’re only thinking of IT from the perspective of having a “fixer,” you’re holding your business back. Reframe that perspective and look at technology as a means to do more. We’ll help you get there. Learn more today by calling us at 855-GET-FUSE (438-3873).
