Overview
It is common knowledge that technology plays a key role in business. Over the last 20 years, organizations have begun hiring Chief Technology Officers (CTO) whose role is to help define and ensure execution of all technology related tasks. The CTO’s role is not to perform technology services directly, but to take on management of an organization's technology needs and to find solutions that align with the organization's strategic business goals. Most organizations with fewer than 200 employees do not have a CTO on staff due to budget and lack of experience hiring for the position. Vision Solutions offers an adjunct CTO partnership which provides your organization with a skilled CTO who has experience providing direction to organizations of your size.
