What is CIO as a service?

CIOaaS provides access to experienced Chief Information Officers who offer strategic IT guidance and oversight without the need for a full-time, in-house position. This service is perfect for companies looking to enhance their IT strategy and operations without incurring significant expenses.

Their CIOaaS models:
