Led by a former CTO and Chief Security Officer
Randy Folmes spent thirteen years as CTO and Chief Security Officer at Woodbine Entertainment Group before returning to lead Nautalex. He brings that experience to businesses that need it a few days a year, not every day.
“Nautalex takes the time to explain all the options and doesn't talk over our heads.”Brian Law, Partner, Pavey Law
Virtual CTO: common questions
What is a virtual CTO?
A virtual Chief Technology Officer gives you senior technology leadership on demand: planning, budgets, risk and vendor decisions, without the cost of a full-time executive.
Who is it for?
Small and mid-sized businesses and non-profits that need strategic IT input but can't justify a full-time CTO or CIO.
How is it different from managed IT?
Managed IT keeps things running day to day. A virtual CTO looks ahead: what to replace, what to budget for, which risks to deal with first, and whether a new system is worth it.
