​Member Spotlight: CIO Solutions

WVCBA is thrilled to welcome CIO Solutions as a member! For nearly 40 years, CIO Solutions has been helping businesses take the headache out of technology. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, the firm significantly grew its Ventura County footprint in 2023 by acquiring Compass Consulting. This move brought together a talented team deeply rooted in the region, offering local businesses the best of both worlds: the resources of a large tech partner and the responsiveness of a neighborhood provider. Marketing Manager Jamie Shearn shares more. 

What products or services do you provide?
CIO Solutions helps businesses get the most from their technology through managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and strategic IT guidance. Simply put, we help organizations get control of their technology so they can spend less time worrying about IT and more time focused on their customers and growth.

How and when did CIO Solutions get started?
CIO Solutions has been serving the technology needs of businesses on California's Central Coast for nearly 40 years.

What is the company's mission?
Our mission is to empower businesses with technology services that simplify operations, strengthen security, and enhance productivity—backed by lasting partnerships built on collaboration, strategy, and genuine human connection.

What’s one thing you're known for over  competitors?
We're known for combining enterprise-level expertise with a personal approach. Our clients have access to a deep bench of technical resources while still working with people who know their business and understand their goals.

Do you have any new services that you're offering?
We're continuously expanding our cybersecurity, compliance, and AI services to help businesses make informed decisions about how to apply emerging technologies in practical, meaningful ways.

How can the business community help?
We're always looking to connect with local business leaders and learn more about the challenges organizations are facing. Introductions, conversations, and opportunities to share ideas are always welcome.

What else do you want readers to know?
As businesses grow, technology often becomes too complex for one person or a small internal team to manage effectively. We help organizations gain access to the expertise, security resources, and support they need so they can stay focused on serving customers and running their business.
