How Much Tech Leadership Do You Need?
With Really Simple Ltd., you choose the level of strategic IT leadership that fits your organization — from quarterly guidance to embedded oversight.
We provide Virtual CIO (vCIO) services — also called Fractional CIO — tailored for local governments and small businesses.
We’re vendor-neutral and work solely in your interest, helping you plan, manage, and modernize your technology stack on your terms.
As your needs change or projects come and go, you can move the slider to meet your goals.
Why Organizations Need a vCIO
-
You don’t have a full-time CIO, but you’re expected to make CIO-level decisions.
-
You’re relying on vendors (like MSPs) who may prioritize sales over strategy.
-
There’s no multi-year tech roadmap, just reaction and replacement.
-
Compliance demands (ADA, cybersecurity, archives) are increasing.
Who manages your Managed Service Provider?
We do.
Your MSP is in the business of selling services and hardware.
We’re in the business of making sure those services and hardware actually make sense — strategically, financially, and operationally.

Let’s Make Things Really Simple!
You don’t need a full-time CIO when a fractional one will do.
You need a trusted advisor who understands your world — government or small business — and who works for you, not for your vendors.
