iTech Management, LLC announces the availability of an exclusive service offering--CIO and CTO Helping Hands-- designed for Technology Executives. 

Finally, a management consulting service designed to provide Chief Information Officers (CIO), Chief Technology Officers (CTO), Vice Presidents of Information Systems (VP/IS), Information Technology (VP/IT), Product Development (VP/PD), and Software Engineering (VP/SW Engineering) with a unique hands-on service that allows them an extension of themselves. 

Many Technology Executives have been overheard muttering "if only I could clone myself" when overloaded.  Well, this service is as close as they will ever come to cloning themselves.

"iTM stands ready to assist the Tech Exec in any pressure situation.  Truly a boutique service, we will perform the traditional Interim management services, but our real target is to help the existing technology management team succeed in this fast-paced environment.  Considering the bottom-line impact of firing one CIO/CTO or one of their direct reports, this service pays for itself if my client realizes just a one-to-two month extension to the 18 month average life expectancy of a technology officer.  According to CIO Magazine the average cost of replacing a CIO or CTO can easily exceed $100,000 dollars."

"iTM is comprised of well-rounded and seasoned Technology Executives who have earned the right to be called experts in their field," says Wayne Mackert, President and founder.  Mr. Mackert, himself recognized in the 1998 International  Who's Who In Information Technology, 2002 International Who's Who of Professionals, and National Register's Who's Who of Executives 2004-5, is representative of the iTM talent guaranteed to deliver results.  With more than 30 years total experience, and almost 20 of those years in Corporate VP of Development, Chief Information Officer, Management Consulting Practice Partner, VP of Product Development, VP of Information Technology positions.  His executive experience spans Airlines/Travel, Financial services, and Healthcare industries as well as others. 

The companies that iTM staff have served look like a Who's Who as well: Walt Disney Company, Delta Airlines, United HealthCare, America West Airlines, First Financial Management Corp., First Data Corporation, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Lifeguard Healthcare, NexxtHealth, American Express Travel, The Kellogg Company, and Humana.
