Virtual CIO

Get a Seasoned CIO for a Fraction of the Cost

Why pay $180,000+ per year when you can access executive-level IT leadership for less than $7,500 annually?

Hiring a full-time Chief Information Officer (CIO) in the U.S. today costs between $180,000 and $250,000 per year, not including benefits, bonuses, or overhead. For most small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), that’s simply not feasible. But the need for high-level IT strategy, risk management, and innovation remains just as critical.

Enter the TEKEASE Virtual CIO (vCIO) Service — your dedicated, on-demand technology executive who provides the same strategic guidance, decision-making support, and leadership without the six-figure expense.
