Managed IT & Outsourced CIO

Managed IT and outsourced CIO services

Most growing businesses reach a point where technology needs more attention than anyone has time to give it. Support requests pile up, decisions are made one purchase at a time, and no one is looking at the whole picture.

ETCON provides reliable day-to-day IT support alongside the strategic leadership to plan what comes next, through one accountable partner who understands how your business operates.

Sound familiar?

Signs it's time to act

  • IT is handled by whoever has time, rather than by someone accountable for it
  • Staff lose time to recurring device, account and Microsoft 365 issues
  • Technology is bought one purchase at a time, without a plan
  • Several suppliers, and no one looking after the whole environment
  • Onboarding and offboarding staff is slow and inconsistent

FAQs

Common questions

What is an outsourced or fractional CIO?

A senior technology leader who works with your business part-time. They help with planning, budgets, vendor selection, risk and major technology decisions, without the cost of a full-time executive.

Can you work alongside our existing IT provider or staff?

Yes. Some businesses want strategic leadership while an existing provider handles day-to-day support, or specialist help for a particular project. We agree clear responsibilities so nothing falls between the gaps.

Do you provide cybersecurity monitoring?

We build sensible security practices into everything we manage, such as Microsoft 365 security settings, backups and access controls. We don't offer 24/7 security operations or penetration testing. Where you need them, we can help you define the requirements and engage a specialist provider.

How do we get started?

Book a discovery call. We'll talk through how your business uses technology today, review your current environment, and then propose the support arrangement that fits.
