What is an Associate Partnership?
As an IT or wider consultancy business, you may wish to offer a senior IT leader service but not have the current setup to deliver that.
For this reason, we can deliver such services under your banner, that is "white label".
Offering a CIO as a service is quite a new concept and, if pitched to your clients appropriately, can open up significant commercial opportunism to you. As a fractional CIO, we can become a trusted partner to your clients, upselling where appropriate and creating stickability.

Do We Do This Already?
Indeed we do! We currently have such arrangements in place with varied organisations in the USA, Ireland and UK.
These include:
- Delivering technical due diligence (TDD) for an American business to private equity houses looking to invest in EMEA software companies.
- Delivering fractional and consultancy services for an Irish-based consultancy firm operating in the UK.
- Delivering consultancy services for the British arm of an American hosting and infrastructure business.
- Delivering fractional and consultancy services for an East Midlands-based Managed Service Provider (MSP)
Charging a "trade" day rate below the prevailing market rate, you not only get a great opportunity to grow your commercial relationship with your clients, you make money doing it!
