Where Technology Budgets Bleed: Software Sprawl & Auto-Renewals.

Technology decisions become harder when application ownership, usage and vendor obligations are not visible in one place. The Baseline brings these inputs together for an agreed primary decision.

A renewal review examines notice periods, licensing terms and functional overlap. These obligations vary by agreement; findings depend on the contracts and usage evidence supplied.

Vendor-neutral advisory supports leadership decisions alongside existing IT teams and service providers. Identified opportunities do not guarantee savings.

The Technology Decision Baseline.

A defined Technology Decision Baseline project, followed by an optional separately scoped advisory agreement.

Standard scope covers up to 15 applications, 10 material vendors and one operating entity. Deliverables are an application/spend ledger, a technology decision memo evaluating up to three options for one primary decision, a 12-month roadmap and an executive readout.

The standard delivery window is four weeks after the executed agreement, required commercial prerequisites, completed intake, necessary documents and agreed access are in place. It does not start at first contact.

How are vCIO engagements structured?
Engagements begin with a defined Technology Decision Baseline project. Ongoing technology advisory is optional under a separate agreement following the Baseline; it is not automatically included.
What does the Technology Decision Baseline deliver?
It delivers an application and spend inventory ledger, a technology decision memo, a 12-month investment roadmap and an executive readout. Standard scope covers up to 15 applications, 10 material vendors and one operating entity.
When does the four-week Baseline delivery window start?
The standard delivery window is four weeks after the executed agreement, required commercial prerequisites, completed intake, necessary documents and agreed access are in place. It does not start at first contact.
How do you compare technology options?
The decision memo evaluates up to three options, including the status quo, using three-year total cost of ownership and implementation risk. Recommendations are vendor-neutral. Evaluation is distinct from implementing or migrating the selected system.
Can vCIO work with our existing MSP or internal IT team?
TEEVA's advisory can support executive decisions and coordinate with existing teams. It does not replace the operational duties assigned to existing IT teams and providers. Fit depends on your unmet needs.
How are your recommendations vendor-neutral?
TEEVA's stated advisory policy is to avoid vendor commissions, referral fees and resale margins. Recommendations consider the customer's requirements, costs and risks.
How does advisory compare with hiring a full-time executive?
The appropriate choice depends on the duties, authority, coverage and continuity you require. A defined advisory engagement and a full-time employee serve different needs; no compensation or savings comparison is implied.
