Virtual CIO Case Study
One of the largest propane distributors in the United States was in dire need of the expertise of a senior information officer due to extreme growth from the acquisition of similar companies in their industry. They needed someone to mentor and advise their executive team on how to develop and maintain the I.T. infrastructure to support their explosive growth.

Based on Spectrum Resources past relationship with this client, one of our most senior level  I.T. executives was assigned as the temporary CIO of this company. Based on the Virtual CIO’s vast industry experience, he was able to “hit the ground running”. He immediately accessed the situation and began to guide the team in the planning and execution of this project. The Virtual CIO immediately upgraded the RAS (reliability, availability, and service ability) of the I.T. infrastructure.
