For most companies, hiring a full-time, executive IT role isn’t always possible. DART’s vCIO services give your organization access to experienced industry professionals with significant bank-related CIO experience.
With vCIO services, we can help make sure your IT strategy supports your institution’s goals.
What is a vCIO?
DART’s Managed Services industry veterans partner with your organization to understand your strategic IT objectives. Our vCIOs use that information to ensure that technology recommendations remain aligned with your institution’s overall strategic goals.
Our vCIO services also provide your organization with a holistic approach to addressing critical issues as well as planning and preparing for future needs.
vCIO services offer:
- Participation on your IT steering committee to provide strategic guidance, assist with IT budget planning and develop your IT infrastructure road map
- Assistance in the development and maintenance of your IT strategic plan, definition of IT projects and supervision of strategic technology initiatives
