About Eric Gordon

I am a strategic technology advisor, private equity operating partner, board member, and Managing Partner at Versitae, a Virtual Captive IT outsourcing company. All four roles help create enterprise value for any company at any stage. I spent many years working as a CIO. If there is one common thread I’ve seen, it’s that the value of Information Technology is only as good as the people working on it. Today, IT talent must come from many sources – and assembling that team can be expensive and require a great deal of effort. Many growing companies don’t realize that finding their most ideal IT team isn’t something they have to do on their own. ABOUT VERSITAEVersitae is leading the charge on a new and improved way to “insource” IT talent. Insourcing is the shift in service delivery from a third-party outsourcing model – referred to as legacy offshoring – and to an in-house model – known as “Virtual Captive”. The Virtual Captive approach allows companies to source the specific talent they need both now and in the future – saving them time, overhead, and stress. The Benefits of Working with Versitae:• Proactive talent platform – adaptive approach to changing business needs• We only use experienced talent• Flexibility – Your Virtual Captive is focused on your needs• Center of Excellence (COE) Model – ensure the right skills in the right capacities create the right capabilities. • Quick startup and professionally managed. HOW WE CAN HELPI would appreciate keeping us in mind if your future transformation journeys create opportunities to:(1) explore our Virtual Captive IT outsourcing approach that works better and costs less than legacy offshore. We can design a solution that costs less than $20/hour blended.(2) renew an existing outsourcing deal but you don’t have an alternative. Without a viable option, you aren’t negotiating, you’re begging, and we can help fix that.(3) reduce IT costs while at the same time assume more workload and support new technologies. We can help you accomplish more at lower cost. Do more with less.(4) lower the cost of domestic resources. Studies show that IT talent comprises at least 50% of a typical IT budget. If you aren’t optimizing your cost of talent, you aren’t optimizing IT costs.Our entire mission is devoted to making IT leaders successful using honest and practical approaches to outsourced IT talent.
