What is a fractional CIO?

A fractional CIO is a part-time technology leader. Instead of hiring a full-time CIO or IT director, you get one for the hours you need: to set the plan and budget, own security and compliance, choose vendors, and report to leadership. At Atlas, the same team can also do the hands-on work.

When nobody owns the plan

Laptops get bought when someone needs one, and new tools get added when a problem shows up. It works until the company grows, and then nobody can say what you have, what it costs, or what should come next.

What a fractional CIO from Atlas covers

We take on as much of the IT leadership as you want to hand off, and stay involved as you grow.

IT roadmap and budget

Tech budget planning and analysis: what to buy, replace, and retire, and when, so spending is planned instead of reactive.
Assets and warranties

An inventory of your devices, software, and security settings, with warranty expirations tracked, so every plan starts from what's actually in place.
Security policies and training

Cybersecurity policies written for how your team works, and training so people follow them. Enforced through our security and identity work.
Compliance and cyber insurance

Answers for cyber insurance questionnaires and audits, and the policies and records behind them.
Vendors and software

Help choosing and managing the vendors and software you pay for, including contracts and renewals.
AI strategy

Where AI fits in your business and the rules around it, with our AI consulting and governance team.
Regular IT reviews

Monthly or quarterly check-ins with leadership on what's working, what's at risk, and what comes next. We can represent IT with your board or auditors.
Your IT team

Work alongside your internal IT lead, or help you hire and oversee IT staff when you're ready for one.

And the hands-on work, when you want it

When the plan calls for doing, the same team does it: Apple professional services like Apple Business setup, device procurement, and deployments, plus setup and onboarding and day-to-day managed IT.

What clients say

“Over the past few years I've worked with Atlas Technology Solutions on our JAMF implementation supporting 400+ clients and devices. From the moment I met Chad the owner, I've been impressed not only with his expertise, but his ability listen to our needs and to offer the best solutions for our situations. I’ve worked with many vendors who say they have our best interest in mind, but in reality are looking to offer a whiz bang solution that will pad their wallets. Atlas Technology Solutions generally cares about the client and that’s been demonstrated working side by side on a technical level with them. As a Technology Director that's extremely important to me and my users.”

Charles Long Asheville Schools

“We've been extremely impressed with the Atlas team. They are quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with too! We needed someone to jump in right away to set up the infrastructure our team needed to meet complex IT requirements for our clients, and the team took us step-by-step through the process. They have been incredibly reliable along the way and I would recommend Atlas to anyone looking for an IT partner. We are so thankful to have them as a part of our team!”
