"Our IT practices are more focused, efficient, and aligned with the organization’s goals than ever before."


Working with ourCIO – Kent Smith in particular – as our contracted CIO has been a game-changer for our organization. From day one, Kent brought a level of clarity, confidence, and leadership that transformed how we approach CUCM’s IT practices and how we manage CUCM’s cyber risk. Kent streamlined processes, introduced better governance practices, and helped us get more value from our systems and vendors. Our IT practices are more focused, efficient, and aligned with the organization’s goals than ever before.
