FRACTIONAL CIO SERVICES & TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY
The CIO expertise your business needs. The flexibility your budget demands.
CZAR Technology Group delivers Fractional CIO and IT Advisory Services that turn under-leveraged IT into a strategic advantage, without the cost and overhead of a full-time CIO. We deliver measurable outcomes through judgment, accountability, and three decades of hands-on experience.
Why Growing Companies Choose Fractional CIO Services
Your business is scaling, but your IT strategy isn't keeping pace. You're facing questions from your C-Suite, your line of business owners, your board or your investors about cybersecurity. Your team is buried in vendor negotiations. Critical systems don't talk to each other. And you're not sure if you're overspending or underinvesting in technology. You need senior IT leadership, but not the $300K+ price tag of a full-time CIO. CZAR Technology Group steps in to close that gap, offering Fractional CIO Services and senior IT leadership and practical execution experience.
Proven Results, Not Just Recommendations
As a practicing CIO before founding CZAR, we delivered measurable outcomes:
Revenue Growth
Delivered over $7M in new revenue through enterprise digital transformation and IT architecture redesign. Technology as a revenue driver, not just a cost center.
Cost Optimization
Generated over $2.5M in annual savings through cloud migration, automation, and operational governance, while improving service levels.
Rapid Integration
Integrated major acquisition into enterprise systems in 90 days post close, earning Global Top Performer Award. Most acquisitions take 12-18 months.
Risk Mitigation
Established IT SOX audit readiness across 17 systems and 40+ controls, creating governance frameworks from scratch in a high-growth environment.
Digital Transformation
Built Ericsson's first U.S. Smart Factory IT/OT implementation, a multi-million-dollar program driving full automation (Global Top Performer Award).
Business Transformation
Transformed IT from tactical support to strategic business partner, driving measurable outcomes across revenue growth, cost optimization, risk mitigation, and employee experience.
Board Experienced
Served as a board member for multiple companies.
These aren't case studies from consulting engagements. These are outcomes from roles where we were accountable to the CEO, other C-Level Executives and line of business leaders. When you work with CZAR, you're getting someone who's successfully done the job, not someone who's advised others on how to do it.
Do any items below sound familiar?
We just realized we're spending over $10K/month on software we barely use
Our last IT project went several months over schedule and doubled in cost
We can't answer basic security questions from potential enterprise clients, the board or leadership
Every department bought their own tools, now nothing integrates
We're growing at a rapid pace annually but our systems feel like they're breaking
If you nodded at any of these items, let's talk.
Why Experience Still Matters
AI can now generate IT strategies, draft policies, and compare vendors. What it can't do:
- Integrate an acquisition into your systems in 90 days (We've done it)
- Navigate the political dynamics when three departments want different platforms
- Make judgment calls at 2 AM when critical systems fail
- Stay accountable when vendor promises don't match reality
- Build the trust capital to tell your CEO their pet project won't work
We use AI to work more efficiently, but three decades of CIO experience can't be replicated by an algorithm. You're not paying for documents. You're paying for judgment, accountability, and someone who's successfully done this job before.
