vCIO SERVICES: IT STRATEGY FOR CENTRAL PA BUSINESSES
A vCIO is a named Bluetek advisor who plans your technology, budget and security around where the business is headed. You get a written roadmap, a yearly budget and a quarterly meeting where we review progress and decide what comes next.
- A named advisor who knows your business
- Written roadmap, budget and scorecard
- A separate monthly service you can add to any support model

INSURANCE RENEWALS
Companies filling out cyber insurance questionnaires every year.
GROWTH OR A MOVE

WHAT YOU GET AND HOW OFTEN
QUARTERLY REVIEWS
A meeting each quarter with a written scorecard and action list.
3-YEAR ROADMAP
Upgrades, replacements and projects laid out by quarter and updated as plans change.
ANNUAL BUDGET
