What We Hear From CEOs Every Day

"I don't know what I'm paying for or why my IT costs keep changing."

"We keep having the same IT issues over and over. Nothing ever gets fixed permanently."

"I'm not getting any strategic guidance on technology or AI—my IT provider just fixes things when they break."

If any of these resonate, you're not alone. There's a better way.

What Growth-Minded CEOs Need Now

Based on conversations with hundreds of business leaders, these are the three things that matter most.

1

Security That Enables Growth

Security shouldn't slow your business down. The right IT partner makes security invisible to your team while keeping threats at bay—so you can pursue opportunities without fear.

Pain point: Current reality: Constant worry about breaches, unclear security posture, reactive firefighting

GXA: GXA: A structured security program. SOC 2–attested, 24/7 SOC monitoring, proactive threat detection, and CISSP-led security leadership—not just a pile of tools.

Business Outcome: Lower risk, clear answers for stakeholders, and freedom to pursue new opportunities with confidence.

2

IT Leadership, Not Just Support

You need a strategic partner who understands your business goals—not just someone who fixes things when they break. Technology should be a competitive advantage, not a constant headache.

Pain point: Current reality: IT speaks technical jargon, no strategic guidance, reactive break-fix mentality

GXA: GXA: Dedicated vCIO for strategy, quarterly business reviews, and a 12-month IT roadmap that ties technology, security, and AI to your business goals.

Business Outcome: Technology aligned with the business, clearer decisions, and IT that supports growth.

3

Budget Clarity & Predictable Costs

Surprise IT bills erode trust and make planning impossible. You deserve fixed, predictable costs with no hidden fees—and a clear understanding of the value you're getting.

Pain point: Current reality: Unexpected invoices, unclear pricing, hidden costs, no ROI visibility

GXA: GXA: Fixed, transparent pricing tied to your IT roadmap, with regular investment reviews so you always know what you're paying for and why.

Business Outcome: Predictable IT spend, clear ROI, and confidence that your budget matches your strategy—not surprise bills.

The GXA Difference

What makes us different isn't just what we do—it's how we lead and structure IT for you.

vCIO + vITM Partnership

Strategy and execution are separate—but tightly connected. Your vCIO leads roadmap, budget, and risk; your vITM drives standards, reliability, and follow-through. IT stops being random projects and starts operating as a real department.

Monthly On-Site Leadership (vITM)

Your dedicated vITM is on-site at least one day a month. They know your people, your systems, and your goals—not just your ticket history—and work to reduce noise, not just react to it.

Single Point of Accountability

No vendor finger-pointing. When something goes wrong, you call GXA. Your vITM owns day-to-day IT health and vendors; your vCIO owns strategy. We take responsibility for getting it resolved.

Fast, Human Support

15-minute average response time during agreed support hours, with clear escalation paths for critical issues. Your team gets help quickly, without feeling like a number in a queue.

"One Throat to Choke"

When you have a problem, you shouldn't have to wonder who's responsible. With GXA, you have a single point of accountability. Your vITM owns day-to-day IT health and standards. Your vCIO owns strategy. And when something goes wrong, we own fixing it—no finger-pointing at other vendors.

This accountability and leadership model is why 80% of our clients came to us after outgrowing their previous MSP—they had "support," but no real IT organization behind them.

Questions CEOs Often Ask

How is GXA different from our current IT provider?

Most IT providers are reactive—they show up when things break. GXA provides proactive IT leadership with monthly on-site visits, dedicated vCIO strategy sessions, and a single point of accountability. We're an extension of your leadership team, not just a help desk.

What does 'vCIO' actually mean for my business?

Your virtual CIO provides executive-level IT leadership without the $300K+ salary. They develop your 12-month IT roadmap, lead quarterly business reviews, advise on technology investments, and ensure IT aligns with your business goals. They're your strategic partner, not a technician.

How do you handle security incidents?

Our 24/7 Security Operations Center monitors your systems continuously. For critical issues, we guarantee 30-minute response times. After any incident, we provide root cause analysis and implement preventive measures—not just quick fixes that let the same problem happen again.

What's included vs. what costs extra?

Our fixed per-user pricing includes: 24/7 support, monthly on-site visits, vCIO and vITM services, vendor management, procurement, monitoring, and security basics. Major projects like office moves or new system implementations are scoped separately with clear pricing upfront.

How do you prove ROI on IT investment?

Every quarterly business review includes metrics on uptime, security incidents prevented, ticket resolution times, and cost trends. Your vCIO also tracks technology investments against business outcomes—helping you understand exactly what value you're getting.

Ready for IT That Works With You, Not Against You?

Get strategic IT leadership that understands business—not just technology. Predictable costs, proactive security, and a partner who's invested in your success.

30-minute consultation. No pressure. Just honest answers about whether we're the right fit.
