What we do
TEchnology reviews
CIO Simple has nearly 30 years of experience evaluating technology in organizations. With extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, we know the details matter. We can put together a comprehensive integration roadmap, guide you through a cloud migration, or simply advise on the best direction for your company.
While security and compliance are always top of mind, we look at your organization from the business perspective and present risk vs. reward decisions to management. The most secure company is worthless if it is not profitable.
Data warhousing\analytics
Do you have a ton of data, but still can't seem to get access to it? This is a common theme when IT is too concerned with building the right solution instead of delivering for the business. CIO Simple specializes in evaluating data warehouse solutions and creating a roadmap to productivity.
Most companies we have worked with have already spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a data warehouse solution that still does not fulfill the needs of the business. CIO Simple will build your warehouse FAST and work with you each step of the way to ensure it will be the solution you are looking for.
Our framework for building data warehouses makes this process extremely efficient, and results in very fast turnaround times. We also don't need to wait until the entire project is complete before we can start providing you with useful information.
We use the latest technologies from Microsoft to build interactive dashboards and automatically distribute reports. Looking for a tool to manage your data warehouse? CIO Simple has designed a tool for just this task. Look for our Information Portal product on this website.
