ISOutsource, an information-technology services provider for small and medium-sized businesses in Bothell and other cities, has launched CIO Support services, which allows businesses to hire a chief information officer on demand with no long-term contract.

“Aligning IT needs and business goals is critical to any business’

success,” said Dan Hay, ISOutsource president and CEO. “Many

companies do not need a full-time CIO, but still need the ability to

turn to an expert who can provide them with IT leadership and technology expertise. Our CIO Support service cuts costs and provides invaluable tools that keep businesses thriving.”

With CIO Support, certified experts will ensure businesses are running at maximum efficiency while minimizing IT costs. Service packages may include a technology assessment, monthly monitoring of IT activities, quarterly technology reviews and yearly blueprint planning.
