With the rapid evolution of information technology, the management of the information system, the choice of technologies, tools, suppliers or IT service providers are not always straightforward for SMEs. In large companies, these choices are the responsibility of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), also known as IT Director. The CIO anticipates, analyses and proposes the main strategic choices in terms of IT while respecting the overall strategy of the company. He ensures the smooth running of operations.

Because the cost of a CIO role in a large company is significant, CIO-PME gives SMEs a way to access it at a more affordable price, by offering CIO services on a timeshare basis to support and advise SME managers in their IT choices. By handling IT problems in an operational way, CIO-PME allows the company’s manager to focus on their core business.

An SME can therefore call on a CIO a few days a month, for example. It benefits from the experience of a CIO working for other SMEs, with of course the guarantee that information specific to each SME stays confidential. It also benefits from the pooled training, skills, knowledge and technology watch of a CIO shared by several SMEs.

The savings made by each SME are therefore significant while benefiting from an experienced CIO.

The role of the timeshare CIO is to cover all facets of the function, even if they may only cover part of it, depending on the needs of each SME.

The main activities covered by the CIO in timeshare are, without being exhaustive:

Propose and implement the company's IT strategy
Manage and / or optimise the information system
Manage and / or optimise IT budgets and contracts
Establish specifications
Help in choosing and monitoring IT suppliers and service providers
Manage IT projects
Help with the choice and configuration of IT solutions / software
Act as the interface with the business units and drive change
Advise / monitor IT staff and / or IT interns
Help recruit IT staff

The presence of a CIO in an SME also gives it a degree of independence from its service providers and IT suppliers.

Finally, the presence of a timeshare CIO in an SME is not at all incompatible with the presence of an IT manager. The CIO can usefully advise the IT manager on their choices, and also take over certain activities temporarily to relieve the pressure.
