Let's make your life a little easier!
Lets face it. You didn't become the CFO or COO of a bank to manage IT - and you really don't have the time either.
If you have that responsibility, you've been given quite a challenge. You have to understand and approve all the technology you are signing for. You're getting your advice from what you read in CFO magazine and your IT contractors, but you could do with someone else to talk to and confirm if that's really the right kind of server you need. What do you put in the budget for next year? How can you use technology to make your internal processes and reporting more efficient? ... and what does web 2.0 mean anyway? (email us and we'll tell you).
TSG provides CIO services, typically on a part-time basis to community banks whose size means they don't need a full time CIO position. Interfacing with the CFO and bank staff, our "Virtual CIO" will translate your business needs into "IT speak" of your technical contract staff.
Your Virtual CIO will assist you in the higher level IT management functions, such as IT staff recruitment and management, IT vendor contract management, evaluation of future technologies in view of the bank's strategy, and the evaluation and implementation of technologies that can help to improve internal operations or customer experience.
Our virtual CIO can work with you to develop your 1, 2, and 3 year technology plans and budgets, as well as assist you and other senior managers in evaluating new technology projects such as mobile banking.
Finally, we can monitor and manage the IT service levels provided by your IT vendors.
