Creating a Lean, Agile IT Organization in 18 Months
When an emergency road service, travel and insurance products company in Northern California was carved out from a larger entity, they called on Cimphoni to serve as their Interim CIO. In this role, we effectively set up their new IT organization, outsourced infastructure (app hosting, network management, service desk) to an Indian offshore managed service provider and implemented several SaaS solutions for member management, sales, marketing and customer service. We provided hands-on project leadership and successfully completed the carve-out in 18 months, while also delivering a 40% reduction in IT operating expenses. Finally, we recruited an experienced CIO to lead the organization at the completion of the engagement.
