FAQ

Have questions about Fractional CIO services?

What does a Fractional CIO do?

A Fractional CIO gives your business part-time, senior technology leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. At Cyberlobe, that means setting a technology plan tied to your business goals, deciding which systems to keep, replace or add, managing your software vendors so you get what you pay for, and cutting redundant subscriptions and spend.

How do I know if my business needs a Fractional CIO?

Common signs:

  • Software decisions are made ad hoc, by whoever feels the pain first.
  • You’re paying for overlapping tools, or tools nobody fully uses.
  • Vendors aren’t held accountable when things go wrong.
  • An ERP or CRM decision is coming and there’s no one internal to lead it.
  • Technology spend keeps growing without a plan behind it.

If two or more sound familiar and you don’t have a senior technology leader in-house, a Fractional CIO fills that gap.

What’s the difference between a Fractional CIO and a Fractional CTO?

A Fractional CIO focuses on how technology supports your internal operations — systems strategy, vendor management and cost control. A Fractional CTO focuses on technology development and product-facing technical leadership. If your priority is running efficient internal systems, you need a CIO. If you’re building technology products, you need a CTO.

How is a Fractional CIO different from an IT support provider or MSP?

An IT support provider or managed service provider (MSP) keeps day-to-day technology running — devices, networks, help desk. A Fractional CIO decides where your technology should go next and holds vendors, including your MSP, accountable for getting you there. Cyberlobe works alongside your existing IT support rather than replacing it.

What’s included in Cyberlobe’s Fractional CIO services?

Every engagement follows Cyberlobe’s 5D Framework. It starts with Discover — a Tech Health Check of your current systems and challenges — then moves through Define (your process playbook), Design (your technology roadmap), Deliver (your implementation plan) and Drive (your growth dashboard). Throughout, Cyberlobe stays on your side of the table, with no referral fees or commissions from software vendors.

How much does a Fractional CIO cost?

It depends on how much leadership time your business needs and what’s on the roadmap. Cyberlobe scopes each engagement with you and agrees the cost before work begins — typically at a fraction of a full-time CIO’s salary and benefits.
