If you’re like most small and mid-sized businesses, you’re eager to modernize your IT strategy to drive growth and efficiency. But hiring a full-time CIO can be costly and often unnecessary. That’s where ShowTech’s vCIO services come in—offering expert technology leadership and strategic guidance without the overhead. Let us manage your IT roadmap so you can stay focused on what matters most: running your business.

Inventory Review

Our vCIO's (Virtual Chief Information Officer) can assist with your Technology Review. 

  • Aligns IT Strategy with Business Goals: A vCIO ensures your technology roadmap directly supports your business objectives—whether that’s growth, efficiency, or innovation. This includes reviewing your current infrastructure and recommending strategic upgrades or shifts to better align with your operational goals.
  • Evaluates Cost Efficiency and ROI: Using various tools and processes a vCIO analyzes the cost per seat, resource allocation, and gross margin to assess whether your current IT investments are delivering value. This financial lens helps prioritize technology that supports profitability.
  • Identifies Gaps and Risks in Your Tech Stack
AI Risk Assessments

Do you have a Technology plan? ShowTech Consulting team can assist with 1, and 3 year plans. 

  • 1-Year Plan: Tactical Stabilization. A vCIO focuses on immediate priorities such as resolving critical pain points, optimizing existing infrastructure, and aligning short-term IT initiatives with business goals. 
  • 3-Year Plan: Strategic Scaling & Process Maturity. At this stage, the vCIO helps the organization scale its technology environment to support growth. This includes formalizing IT governance, standardizing processes, and implementing systems that improve efficiency and security. The vCIO also ensures that technology investments are aligned with evolving business objectives and budget forecasts.
AI Risk Assessments

With AI being promoted everywhere, its time to take a step back, and do an AI Risk Assessment. 

Risk Assessments: Evaluates Security, Privacy, and Compliance Risks
AI risk assessments help identify vulnerabilities in how AI systems handle sensitive data, ensuring alignment with cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements.

Assesses Bias, Fairness, and Ethical Use: A thorough AI risk assessment examines whether models produce biased or unfair outcomes, especially in decision-making systems. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework outlines how to incorporate trustworthiness and fairness into AI design and deployment.

Supports Strategic IT Planning and Governance: AI risk assessments are not just technical—they inform broader IT governance by identifying where AI aligns (or conflicts) with business goals. 

Enables Proactive Mitigation and Continuous Monitoring: Effective assessments are ongoing, not one-time events. They include vulnerability scans, remediation tracking, and regular updates to policies and controls. This continuous approach is critical for adapting to evolving threats and maintaining operational resilience.
