Fractional CIO & IT Leadership 

Executive-Level IT Guidance. Without the Full-Time Overhead. 

Let’s Talk

In fast-moving, operations-driven environments, technology can either drive strategic value—or become a drag on execution. Yet not every organization needs (or is ready for) a full-time CIO. 

Cuneiform’s Fractional CIO & IT Leadership services give you access to proven, executive-level IT leaders who understand the intersection of business, operations, and technology. Whether you’re facing an ERP transformation, organizational growth, or a shift in digital strategy, we provide steady, strategic leadership when and where you need it most. 

Why Organizations Choose Fractional CIO Leadership 

Today’s IT landscape is too complex to navigate with purely tactical support. At the same time, many mid-market or rapidly scaling companies don’t require—or can’t justify—a full-time CIO.
