Interim IT and IT consulting

Traditionally, interim management mainly called on general managers, industrial and financial managers or HR managers. Today, the intervention of Chief Information Systems Officers (CIOs), also known as CIOs (IT Directors) or CIOs (Chief Information Officers), is increasingly in demand.

These interim managers specialising in IT, digital and IT provide an immediate response to issues specific to this field of intervention: use of new technologies, cybersecurity, cloud computing, big data, management and maintenance of IT equipment and network equipment, etc. The intervention of interim IT managers in the company is for a limited period of time.

The outsourcing of certain delicate CIO interim management missions allows the company to rely on an objective, fresh and expert perspective for a smooth transition and successful change management.

At WAYDEN, we select and mandate an interim CIO or an interim manager specialized in IT and IT for you. These professionals, with a very high level of qualification, support you in leading a major change management, a profound transformation, or a strategic project related to the growth of your business.

Why use an IT and IT interim manager?

Overhaul or optimization of your information system (IS)

The IT and IT interim manager can intervene within your company to support you in the overhaul of your information system (following a merger/acquisition, a change of manager, an improvement in performance, etc.). After establishing a diagnosis, the IT manager will set up an action plan, with the aim of optimizing the internal organization of the IS department. He brings a fresh perspective, identifies flaws and areas for improvement, and deploys actions to improve your productivity and reduce your operating costs.
As head of the management committee, the interim director manages all general management functions. He has a perfect command of each of the organization’s branches, guarantees the growth of the business, implements adjustments if necessary, identifies areas for improvement, etc. It thus creates an environment conducive to facilitating the handover of functions to the new DG.

Information / IT change management

The interim CIO is also an ally of choice for leading change management in your IT and IT department. In this role, he will take on the role and responsibilities of a Chief Transformation Officer (CTO or formerly known as CDO – Chief Digital Officer). As part of his transition missions, he will be able to set up new IT tools (mobile, SAAS, Big Data, Cloud), organize employee training, develop talent, federate teams around new management methods or process changes, and ensure the transfer of skills to guarantee the impact of his intervention in the long term.

Development of an IT hub based on resilience and agility

The world of IT is one of the most innovative sectors. The challenges of this function are therefore evolving and complex. AI, machine learning, blockchain: so many new technologies that will interfere in the daily life of companies through the information systems and information technologies division. Calling on an outsourced IS manager will allow you to work on a continuous training plan to upsurge your employees and thus ensure the agility of your IT department in the management of IS projects. The concept of the IS division also implies (re)thinking the notion of IT governance with a strategy of inter-departmental collaboration.
