Planning
Large corporations frequently employ a Chief Information Officer (CIO) who has overall responsibility for technology. The CIO provides strategic direction and manages the people, systems, and processes required to run a network effectively. Realistically, small businesses simply do not have the scale to afford such a role. As a result, they tend to provide little management for the person or people managing their network, and often neglect the strategic attention and planning required.
With Endsight, every client is assigned a senior member of our staff to act as their company’s CIO.
