Part-time CIO / IT Director

A commercially focused Chief Information Officer (CIO) or IT Director can help you to ensure that your IT function is aligned with your business strategy and vision, and that you are selecting and managing the right IT systems and providers to drive efficiencies and business improvements.

However, not all businesses have the budget or need for a full-time CIO or IT Director.

That’s where Ballards LLP can help. We offer fractional CIO and IT Director services on a scheduled or ad hoc tactical basis. This means that you can get the expertise you need, when you need it, without having to commit to a full-time employee.

It should be aligned with your overall business strategy and should specify the direction you need to take and the tactics you will use to achieve your goals.

At Ballards LLP, we can help you develop an IT & Digital strategy that is tailored to your specific needs. We will work with you to understand your business strategy and goals, and then we will develop a plan that will help you achieve them.
