Your Need for CIO+prn Services

The Kolotti Group can assist with working on a specific project or by serving as a part-time “as needed” Chief Information Officer—our CIO+prn SM service. Our ideal CIO+prn SM client is one that is using spreadsheets and/or a database manager but is finding that maintaining and updating them requires considerable time and effort and producing actionable reports is a challenge. We serve as a bridge between business requirements and the “nuts and bolts” of information technology.

Quite often, smaller organizations do not have the IT resources to have full-scale analytic/business intelligence operations and/or dedicated staff. They rely on existing staff to organize and interpret data, typically using spreadsheets. The skills of the staff developing and using the spreadsheet solutions may run the gamut from expert to novice. This often results in reports being produced in a “hand-o-matic” fashion, basically reproducing formulas and reports every time they are needed. This results in with little to no consistency or reproducibility from person-to-person or from month-to-month.
