Are you getting a fair return on your technology?
Most business owners suspect that they are not. They believe that their technology infrastructure is underutilized and underproductive, contributing far less to the company’s profitability than possible.

But they don’t know what to do about it. And they just don’t have the time or resources to figure it out; they have better ways to spend their time.

Over the past decade or so, technology has increased enormously in both its complexity and its importance. Technology is now central to the way companies do business. As a result, almost all larger companies have a Chief Information Officer or Chief Technology Officer, frequently with a sizable staff, to focus full time on getting the most out of the firm’s investment in technology. This executive-level officer generally has years of experience and very likely an advanced degree, possibly in business. He or she is highly skilled, highly educated, and highly paid.

Small and medium-sized businesses have the same technology management needs as their bigger brothers, just on a smaller scale. They need a person with the same level of attainment in skill and education, just not on a full-time basis. And they can’t really afford to pay the going rate for a full-time person. What are they to do?
