IT Guidance
IT Guidance & vCIO Services in Austin, TX
Executive-level technology leadership — rented by the slice, not hired by the salary.
Most small businesses can’t justify a full-time CIO, so technology decisions land on whoever’s least afraid of them. IT guidance fixes that: I act as your vCIO (virtual chief information officer) — and, where security demands it, vCISO — bringing strategy, budgeting discipline, and a straight answer to “what should we do?”
What strategic guidance covers
- Technology roadmaps: A step-by-step plan aligning your IT spending with where the business is going.
- Risk assessment: Vulnerabilities identified and ranked, with incident response plans ready before you need them.
- Budget & ROI: Investment decisions made collaboratively, measured against return — not vendor hype.
I’d rather teach you to read your own IT landscape than keep it mysterious. I have spent twenty years in technology and nine of them running a business in this city, and informed owners have always made the best clients.
Beyond the roadmap
Leadership extends into execution when you need hands, not just advice.

A CIO who knows your name — and your market
Strategy is local. The talent market, the growth pace, the regulatory mix — Austin’s context shapes the right answer. As the owner of CMIT Solutions of Austin Central, I bring national-network resources with hometown accountability.
The economics work
You get C-level judgment for a fraction of a C-level salary, under an SLA (service level agreement) that keeps us honest. When aging hardware and legacy apps start eating your budget, an outside set of experienced eyes usually pays for itself quickly.
Stop guessing. Start planning.
One strategy session will surface your three biggest IT risks and your three best opportunities.
