Fractional CIO / IT Leadership & Roadmapping
Executive IT strategy without the executive salary.
Get StartedWhat It Is
Most small and mid-size businesses don’t need a full-time CIO, but they absolutely need the strategic thinking one provides. Fractional CIO services from StrategixIT give you seasoned IT leadership on your terms: part-time, project-based, or as a recurring advisory engagement.
We sit alongside your executive team to align technology investments with business outcomes. That means building multi-year IT roadmaps, evaluating vendors objectively, managing budgets with clarity, and making sure every dollar in your technology spend moves the needle.
This isn’t a consultant who drops a binder and disappears. We stay embedded, attending leadership meetings, tracking KPIs, and adjusting the plan as your business evolves.
Who It’s For
- Businesses with 20 to 100 employees that have outgrown break-fix IT but aren’t ready for a full-time CIO
- Companies in regulated industries navigating compliance requirements (CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Companies preparing for M&A, rapid growth, or a major technology transition
- Leadership teams that want a trusted technology advisor in the room
What’s Included
- Technology assessment and gap analysis
- Multi-year IT roadmap aligned to business goals
- Annual and quarterly budget planning
- Vendor evaluation, negotiation, and management
- IT policy development and governance framework
- Board and leadership meeting participation
- Ongoing advisory and strategic reviews (monthly or quarterly)

Why StrategixIT
We’ve been in the seat. Our team has held IT leadership roles across manufacturing, defense contracting, healthcare, and professional services. We understand the operational realities, not just the theory.
We’re vendor-neutral. We recommend what works for your business, not what earns us the biggest commission. Our evaluations are objective and documented.
We stay accountable. Every roadmap comes with measurable milestones and regular check-ins. If the plan needs to change, we adjust it transparently and explain why.
