CxO Services

Chief (insert the letter) Officers have broad and deep experience in technology, transformation and organizational change management.

Fractional Services

A part time leader is most commonly used for project based initiatives such as strategic planning, digital transformation, or system selection and related project planning.  With our extensive network of experienced leaders and professionals we have either filled or placed professionals in roles such as:

  • Integration architect and/or developer.
  • Cloud migration manager
  • Business Blueprint developer

Strategic Business Services

Project Leadership

Small to mid-sized companies rarely “transform their business” with a new system or technology platform.  It makes little sense to hire a project  or program manager for a once in a decade exercise. The key to effective and affordable change is having the right resources in the right place at the right time. An outsourced CxO works for and represents the customer as a member of the leadership team. I-BN executives have extensive experience designing, planning and leading digital transformation initiatives for companies between $10-$250 million revenue for distributors, discrete and job based (ETO, MTO) manufacturers, professional and project based services in a broad range of industries

Sample Engagement

Interim Management Services

Interim leadership is common when a company is in transition due to circumstances such as merger, unplanned or forced vacancy.  I-BN has filled vacancies and provided temporary leadership where we combine our business acumen and technology expertise to transition companies to their future state.  These engagements can extend until a position is filled or until the objective is reached.  Sample engagements have included:

  • Strategic CIO including visioning and opportunity ideation.
  • Business management platform transformation including ERP system and cloud deployment.
  • Acquisition and platform consolidation.
  • CRM System Administrator.
  • Integration architect for eCommerce, EDI and other systems.
  • Program and project management.

Acquisition Consolidation

When a venture capital firm brought five cabinet manufacturers together to create a market leader they contacted I-BN for fractional CIO services . Each entity had different technology platforms and ERP systems. Interim CIO services designed planned and managed integration to a common cloud based technology platform and standardization on Microsoft Dynamics AX.
