Technology Strategy & Executive Advisory

Senior technology leadership, without the full-time hire.

DLG Services gives growing companies the CIO/CTO judgment they need, part-time or for a defined engagement. We also give independent advice on the technology decisions that are hard to undo.

What we do

Two ways to work with us

Fractional CIO/CTO

An experienced technology executive on your leadership team. We own the roadmap, the budget, the vendors and the IT team's direction, for a few days a month or through a transition.

  • Technology strategy tied to business goals
  • IT budget, vendor and contract management
  • Security, risk and compliance oversight
  • Interim leadership through a gap or transition

Technology Advisory

Independent, project-based advice when a decision is too important to leave to a vendor's salesperson, whether you're choosing a platform or fixing what you pay for connectivity.

  • Technology assessments and roadmaps
  • Vendor selection and contract review
  • Cloud, infrastructure and security reviews
  • Telecom, connectivity and carrier sourcing

Why DLG

Advice that works for you, not for a vendor

Business first

We start from what the business needs to achieve, then work out what technology serves it. Not the other way around.

Plain answers

Recommendations your leadership team can act on, with the trade-offs and costs stated up front.

Right-sized

Executive-level judgment scaled to what you actually need, rather than a full-time salary or a large consulting team.
