No IT leadership
IT is handled by the founder, the CFO or a vendor. Nobody arbitrates, nobody plans, and decisions are made under pressure.
Dedicated offering
Outsourced CIO: IT governance without the full-time hire
You have no IT leadership, or a newly appointed IT manager facing decisions that will bind the company for years. LENS SI takes on that role on a part-time basis, for as long as it takes.
Situations we handle
Junior IT manager
A technically capable manager, alone with architecture, budget and contract decisions that carry multi-year consequences.
