The word “audit” might sound daunting, but it’s actually one of the most important things you can do to evaluate your company’s success and make positive, impactful change. It allows you to test your system for worst-case scenarios to see how it holds up. You can analyze the results and use them to develop beneficial projects and plans for the future. Audits are an incredibly powerful tool, so it’s important that you work with the right people if you want those benefits to reach your SMB.

A partnership with XL.net offers you the services of a fractional or Virtual Chief Information Officer (VCIO) — a consultant that accomplishes many of the same tasks as a CIO. We offer these CTO services to Chicago SMBs to help them meet their goals.
Our Technology Officers can steer technology at your company in the right direction with fractional CIO services. There are three things you need from your Technology Officer:
Your Technology Officer needs to be aware of staying within budget solutions that exist in the market and of the needs of each of your departments. They typically have an exceptional knowledge of trends in the market and new technologies that can help you meet your goals without breaking the bank.
You need a destination and a plan to get you there. Your plan should map out annual goals and projects that line up with priorities across your organization.
Technology without results is waste. You need technology to help you achieve your business goals faster and more efficiently. A Technology Officer can help you achieve successful results with clear, transparent and documented metrics.
