A framework for delivering vCIO services with Stuart Holtby

In 1989, Stuart Holtby started Allstar Tech as a boutique IT consulting practice helping SMEs with networking microcomputers. It wasn't until the mid 90's that he began to call Allstar Tech a Managed Service Provider. By 2000, Allstar Tech grew to 35 employees with $4 million in revenue. In 2000, he recognized the need for fractional CIO services and launched a C-suite management advisory service. The C-suite management advisory service provided interim, virtual, and fractional CIO consulting. As a fractional CIO, he helped clients improve organizational performance and operational efficiency through the practical implementation of information technology. During this period, he refined the C-suite advisory practice - focusing on making the GetInSync platform available to other like-minded MSPs. He has a master's degree in Business Administration from Athabasca University. When not keeping busy helping MSP build their business, you can find him on the tennis court trying to improve his play.
