Technology leadership, without the bigger IT department.
EBS provides vCIO advisory and technology sourcing for healthcare, nonprofit, and manufacturing organizations - technology roadmaps, vendor governance, risk prioritization, and provider selection without building a bigger IT department.
Frequently asked questions
- Are you an MSP?
- No. EBS is a technology advisory and sourcing firm. We own strategy, requirements, provider comparison, and governance. Qualified providers own engineering, implementation, and support.
- Who does the technical work?
- Selected providers deliver architecture, migration, managed services, and support under their own agreements. EBS remains involved for decision support, QBRs, renewals, and escalation when business expectations are not being met.
- Do you get paid by technology providers?
- EBS evaluates options based on client requirements and works across a broad provider ecosystem. EBS may receive compensation from technology providers or distribution partners when clients purchase certain solutions.
- Do you work with PHI and other sensitive data?
- Yes. We work with healthcare and other organizations that handle PHI and sensitive data, and we treat it with appropriate safeguards. A Technology Strategy Review doesn’t require system access. EBS does not guarantee HIPAA compliance; formal assessments, testing, and implementation are handled by appropriately scoped, qualified resources.
- What is the best first step?
- Schedule a Technology Strategy Review. In 30-45 minutes we clarify priorities, surface high-level risks and opportunities, and recommend whether the next step is no action, a paid assessment, vCIO advisory, provider sourcing, or a combination.
- Who typically engages EBS?
- CEOs, CFOs, COOs, IT leaders, and compliance stakeholders at nonprofit, healthcare, and manufacturing organizations - often with roughly 20-500 employees, meaningful technology spend, and limited CIO/CTO bandwidth.
