However, if one is to say that the business does not require an IT professional consulting the business is either overestimating itself or it is not really interested to focus on its core business. An emerging trend surrounding Virtual CIO(vCIO)is on the rounds and slowly catching pace, thanks to new age managed service providers like Kochi headquartered Skybertech.
