Virtual CIO FAQ's
How much does a virtual CIO cost in New Zealand?
Pricing depends on your size and what you need. Most Auckland clients use us part-time or on a project basis, so they only pay for senior leadership when they need it.
How is a virtual CIO different from an IT consultant?
A consultant gives advice for a single project. A virtual CIO provides ongoing, executive-level leadership — strategy, governance, and oversight over time.
Can a virtual CIO work with our in-house IT team?
Yes. We support your existing team with direction and priorities so they can deliver faster and stay aligned with the business.
What size businesses benefit from a virtual CIO?
Our services are ideal for small to medium enterprises that need senior-level guidance without the cost of a full-time executive, as well as larger organisations seeking independent oversight or governance support.
How quickly can we get started?
We begin with a discovery session to understand your current IT environment and goals. From there, we outline a roadmap for immediate priorities and longer-term outcomes typically within just a few days of engagement.
