Projects & vCIO

Are your IT projects drifting, over budget, or lacking clear direction?

When IT project management is reactive or disconnected from business goals, projects stall, costs rise and risk increases. Our IT project management services and vCIO services give you structured delivery and senior-level leadership, ensuring every IT decision supports growth, security and long-term stability.

At iceConnect, we combine hands-on IT project management with expert virtual CIO services so your technology evolves in step with your business — without the cost or complexity of a full-time CIO.

Why projects & vCIO services?

Our Projects & vCIO offering delivers two critical capabilities:

• IT Project Management – Structured planning, delivery and governance for technical projects
• vCIO Services – Ongoing strategic leadership, budgeting and roadmap planning at board level

Together, this ensures every project fits into a wider, well-defined IT strategy — not a series of disconnected fixes.

IT project management that delivers

Poor IT project management services often result in missed deadlines, unclear ownership and disruption to staff. We fix that with disciplined CIO project management backed by real-world delivery experience. Our IT project management covers:

• End-to-end project planning and execution
• Clear scope definition and risk management
• Vendor and third-party coordination
• Infrastructure, cloud, security and Microsoft 365 projects
• Legacy system modernisation and migrations
• Regular progress reporting in plain English

All project work is delivered against a transparent rate card, with no hidden costs or surprises.

Important: Project work follows our published rate card. SLOs apply to support incidents only.

vCIO services: Senior IT leadership without the full-time cost

Most SMEs don’t need a full-time CIO — but they do need CIO-level thinking. Our vCIO services give you access to experienced strategic leadership that aligns IT with your commercial goals. Our virtual CIO services Include:

• Strategic IT planning and long-term technology vision
• Structured IT roadmap meetings
• Budget forecasting and cost control
• Security and compliance alignment (UK GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 readiness)
• Business risk reduction and resilience planning
• Technology decision support at leadership level
• Up-to-date IT documentation and governance

Your virtual CIO becomes a trusted advisor — not a salesperson — focused on stability, security and measurable outcomes.
