Technology strategy & leadership

Virtual CIO Services

Experienced technology leadership that connects your business goals to a practical plan—without adding a full-time executive role.

A technology strategy your business can act on.

When your business grows, technology decisions become business decisions. Which systems should you invest in? What needs to change first? Who is making sure your vendors and internal team are working toward the same goals?

Top 20 Solutions provides Virtual CIO consulting to help owners and leadership teams answer those questions. We bring an executive perspective to your technology environment and turn competing priorities into a focused roadmap.

Where a Virtual CIO can help

  • Technology roadmaps: connect initiatives to business priorities, dependencies, and available resources.
  • Budgets and investment decisions: understand existing spending, compare options, and plan for future needs.
  • Vendor and MSP oversight: clarify expectations, review proposals, and help providers deliver against business goals.
  • Cloud and Microsoft 365 strategy: evaluate the fit, risks, and operational impact of proposed changes.
  • Project leadership: define scope, coordinate stakeholders, and keep important initiatives moving.
  • IT team guidance: support prioritization, communication, and accountability.

What an engagement can look like

We begin by understanding your business priorities and the technology that supports them. Together, we agree on the decisions to address, the people involved, and a useful cadence for reviewing progress. Support can focus on a specific initiative or ongoing leadership needs.

Strategy and security belong together

Technology planning should account for risk from the start. When security leadership is part of the need, our Virtual CISO services and cybersecurity consulting help connect your roadmap to your security priorities.

Common questions

Can you work with our existing IT provider?

Yes. The advisory role can complement an internal IT team or managed service provider by helping define priorities, evaluate proposals, and align work with business goals.

Do we need ongoing consulting?

Not necessarily. A focused assessment or project may be the right starting point. The scope and cadence should match the decisions your business needs to make.

Do you support businesses outside Pittsburgh?

Remote consulting is available. We can discuss the needs of your team and whether any on-site work is appropriate.
