The Expertise of a Senior Technology Leader.

CIOAAS - CIO (Chief Information Officer) as a Service

All the advantages of a technology Executive for your business, on your terms. What you want, when you want, how you want and within your budget—a modern CIO, and more.

CIO expertise backed by Asta experience


The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has business-wide impact—technology and information underpin much of what organisations do today. That’s a lot of responsibility, and some big expectations.

CIOs drive your technology strategy, counsel C-suite peers on technology-driven innovations, manage budgets and people. And then, link it all back to your business objectives and gain buy-in from the rest of the organisation. They are the executive-level interface between the technology department and the rest of your business.

That’s why CIOs command some of the largest salaries across industries—and have some of the shortest tenures within the C-suite. High turnover and high cost can leave your business unable to benefit from having a stable, present, responsive CIO guiding your technology and information.

When you need the expertise and smarts of a senior technology leader, but don’t want to commit to a full-time, in-house CIO, Asta’s CIO as a Service (CIOaaS) will fill your Executive gap—on demand..

  • Cost Savings
    Minimise your overhead costs by only paying for what you need, when you need it. We’ll work closely with you to provide the right CIO to fit your business and your budget. With our CIO as a Service (CIOaaS) you’ll get an experience CIO, without the ongoing cost – giving you the freedom and flexibility to invest a six-figure salary elsewhere in your business.

  • Access to Top Talent
    When you’re serious about your organisation’s technology and data, you’ll be on the lookout for serious talent. Engaging Asta's CIO as a Service (CIOaaS), instead of hiring a full-time executive, means you’ll have access to individuals with diverse skills across the technology space. You’ll get the talent and experience you need on demand, a customised fit for your business.

  • Stop CIO Role Churn
    Chief Information Officers have one of the fastest turnovers in all C-suite roles. Due to the high pressure of role responsibilities and the rapidly evolving internal and external tech environments, it’s a position with continual ‘churn’. Avoiding fast turnover in a role that has a business-wide impact won’t only benefit the technology aspects of your business. Using Asta's CIO as a Service (CIOaaS) simplifies your HR management, streamlines your executive team and allows you to focus on the plan, not a person.

  • Reduce Business Risk
    When you’re not reliant on a single individual for all the expertise and knowledge of your company’s IT infrastructure, strategy and operations, you’re significantly reducing your business risk. In today’s continually changing workplaces, with rapidly evolving technology, it makes sense to remove as much risk in this area as you can.

  • Stay on the Front Foot
    The expertise and skills you require from your CIO are likely to change over time. An external CIO service will change in sync with the shifting needs of your business which means you’ll always be on the front foot when it comes to your technology. An Asta CIO is an experienced IT manager with infrastructure, application and vendor management history, who’ll also be connected to the specialist talent of the wider Asta team.
