Three ways to engage, each scoped to a part-time practice. Start with a fixed-scope assessment, move to ongoing advisory, or bring in a specialist for a defined project. Transparent pricing, no surprises.
A fixed-scope diagnostic of your current IT, security, and cloud posture, delivered as a prioritized 90-day roadmap you can act on immediately, whether or not we keep working together.
Ongoing IT leadership embedded in your team: roadmap execution, vendor decisions, security program oversight, and executive advisory on demand.
A defined engagement covering cloud migration planning, security remediation, or compliance readiness, delivered on a fixed scope with a clear start and finish.
Not a replacement for your MSP: a leadership layer above it. Here's how the roles differ.
| Crawford IT (Fractional CIO) | Typical MSP / break-fix | |
|---|---|---|
| Strategic IT roadmap | Yes, owned & maintained | Rarely |
| Budget & spend governance | Yes | No |
| Vendor & contract guidance | Yes, vendor-agnostic | Tied to reseller margins |
| Security program leadership | Yes | Tooling only |
| Executive / board reporting | Yes | No |
| Day-to-day helpdesk & monitoring | No (your MSP owns this) | Yes |
| Hands-on admin & patching | Advisory-led only | Yes |
Pricing reflects founding-client rates. Final scope and fee are set in a Statement of Work before any engagement begins.
A 30-minute call is the fastest way to figure out whether an assessment, a retainer, or a project is right for where your business is today.
