Fractional IT Leadership & Fractional IT Director

Director-level technology strategy, budgeting, and vendor accountability for Orlando businesses: the role a full-time hire would fill, without the six-figure salary.

Why it matters

A full-time IT Director can cost six figures a year. Most growing businesses don't need one full-time, they need one accountable.

Break-fix vendors answer tickets. Managed service providers monitor endpoints. Neither one sits across the table from your leadership team and owns the technology roadmap, the budget, and the vendor relationships. That's the gap Fractional IT Leadership fills.

Dave Dunn spent over 20 years in enterprise IT leadership roles, including nearly a decade supporting Disney's global operations and later serving as Senior IT Support Manager at Parkway Properties. Infiniti brings that same director-level thinking to growing businesses that could never justify a full-time hire at that level.

What's included

  • Quarterly technology roadmap & IT budgeting
  • Written policy & incident response planning
  • Vendor & license management, one point of accountability
  • Microsoft 365 & Azure strategic management
  • Responsible AI strategy & adoption guidance
  • Compliance-oriented support for regulated industries
  • Priority support options & after-hours coverage
The full role

Everything a Fractional IT Director owns

This runs deeper than most firms expect, because most firms have never had one.

Technology Roadmap & Budgeting

A living plan tied to the business's actual growth and refresh cycles, not a document that sits in a drawer.

How the role starts

Getting a Director in place

01

Discover

Understand the business: industry, headcount, offices, growth plans, and what's currently keeping leadership up at night.

02

Assess

A full audit of the current environment, security, Microsoft 365, backups, networks, vendors, and documentation. The Risk Review is often the starting point here.

03

Roadmap

Findings become a prioritized quarterly plan, what's urgent, what's important, what's a longer-term investment.

04

Govern

Policy, vendor accountability, and security oversight get implemented and documented, not just discussed.

05

Review

Quarterly business reviews keep the roadmap current as the business grows, hires, or opens new locations.

Questions about this role

No, that's the point. You get director-level strategy and accountability on a fractional basis, at a fraction of a full-time salary and benefits cost.
Yes. Many firms keep their existing day-to-day support and add the Fractional IT Director role for strategy, budgeting, and accountability above it.
Cadence is set with each firm, typically quarterly business reviews, with the Director available in between for decisions that can't wait.
No, the Director role is meant to inform those decisions with real options and tradeoffs, not make them unilaterally. Final calls on budget and direction stay with your business.
Most commonly businesses too large to run on ad-hoc IT but too small to justify a full-time hire, roughly 5 to 50 employees, though it's scoped to fit each business individually.
Yes, as a supporting capability. Dave evaluates and governs AI tools the same way he'd evaluate any other technology decision: security first, hype second. It's not sold as a standalone AI service.
