We’re not typical IT consultants. We never have been.


Two principals. Nearly five decades of combined enterprise experience. A network of senior specialists is assembled for every engagement. And one shared conviction: technology should serve your business — not hold it hostage.

Schedule Discovery Meeting


"Most IT firms will fix what you tell them is broken. We find what’s actually broken — including the things nobody told you about — and build technology that moves your business forward. That’s not a methodology. It’s how we’re wired."

✽ WHY WE EXIST

Boston BizTech was built out of a specific frustration.


"After decades inside some of the world’s largest enterprises — global pharmaceuticals, asset management firms, universities — we kept seeing the same pattern. IT organizations trapped in reactive mode. Vendors doing the minimum. Business leaders making expensive technology decisions without anyone at the table who could actually evaluate the work. And companies paying the price in failed projects, missed audits, and technology that hindered growth instead of driving it."

We founded Boston BizTech to be the firm we kept wishing existed. One that goes deeper than the brief. One that treats every engagement like it’s our own business on the line. One where the principals signing the proposal are the ones doing the work — and where the specialists brought in are genuinely expert at what they do, not generalists filling a seat.

Founder's Profile


BRIAN — PRESIDENT · FRACTIONAL CIO

Brian brings more than three decades of enterprise IT mastery to every engagement, including the last 10 years serving as a high impact Fractional CIO. Embedded directly within client organizations, he serves as a visionary technology leader who owns the entire IT lifecycle on behalf of his clients. Brian translates complex business goals into high performance IT strategies, orchestrates enterprise architecture, steers high stakes vendor negotiations, and fortifies regulatory compliance.

His unique value lies in the fusion of strategic foresight and deep technical execution. Unlike traditional executives who govern from a distance, Brian remains deeply connected to the technology. He actively designs enterprise architectures, investigates operational failures, and inspects diagnostic issues firsthand to ensure seamless execution. The result is a resilient multi year roadmap that directly converts technology investments into measurable business outcomes.


CIO Leadership Scope

As a Fractional CIO, Brian leads engagements across pharma and biotech, financial services, and distribution and warehousing — particularly in three situations. The first: companies operating under complex regulatory regimes — 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GLBA, GDPR, and GAMP implementation requirements — where technology decisions carry audit and contractual consequence. The second: organizations with failed or failing technology projects that need an objective leader to diagnose what went wrong and rebuild. The third: post-acquisition environments where the buyer is discovering that the deal closed without proper technology due diligence and needs someone to assess what they actually bought.


The Diagnostic & Turnaround Background

Brian is the elite principal whom clients retain when they suspect an underlying operational failure but cannot yet identify it precisely. His methodology is uncompromising. He goes onsite, interviews the heads of every business unit personally, and constructs an independent, ground level view of the operation. The critical gap between executive perception and operational reality is precisely where Brian uncovers and resolves the root issues.

This rigorous approach fuels his track record of high impact rescues. He orchestrated an emergency intervention at a medical imaging corporation that was just five days away from a catastrophic global hospital outage. He successfully rescued a one million dollar distribution enterprise resource planning project that had been failing continuously for eight years. His turnaround portfolio includes leading the IT integration for a major oil and gas acquisition, executing a strategic technology overhaul for a retail corporation, and directing the post acquisition assessment of a clinical research organization. In that engagement, a global pharmaceutical client had acquired the entity without technology due diligence. Brian uncovered findings and designed a remediation program that far exceeded executive expectations, which the client is actively implementing today. Furthermore, he has steered the Fractional CIO function for every clinical research engagement the firm has secured.

Strategic & Architectural Depth

Brian evaluates technology through the same rigorous lens he applies to the businesses dependent upon it, maintaining strict vendor neutrality with business outcomes as the sole legitimate scoring criterion. Earlier in his career, he directed the implementation of open source platforms at a global pharmaceutical corporation, generating over twenty million dollars in savings. He also served as Chief of Staff for IT at a global asset management firm, where he eliminated more than one hundred million dollars in operational costs across three years within a strictly SEC regulated environment. These high stakes experiences forged his deep understanding of enterprise scale architecture and instilled a healthy skepticism toward vendor pitches promising simplicity at scale.

“Most IT managers tell you what the technical team reports back to them. I go and look for myself. There’s a big difference between managing a situation and understanding it — and the clients we work with deserve someone who can do both.”

Brian Weekes
President of Boston BizTech

COLTON — VP, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES · FRACTIONAL CIO / CTO

Colton brings 18 years of enterprise IT experience to every engagement, including seven years serving as CIO of a university, where he owned the technology strategy, infrastructure, security, vendor relationships, and budget for an organization supporting hundreds of employees and thousands of students. He understands what it means to be accountable for an entire technology environment, not just a single project within one.


CIO Leadership Scope

As a Fractional CIO, Colton leads engagements across higher education, healthcare, retail, food and beverage, and other technology driven organizations that require both strategic leadership and technical execution. On ERP customization and development focused engagements, he serves as CTO, combining executive level technology planning with the hands-on expertise needed to build and deliver business critical solutions.

That combination is rare. Most technology executives oversee development through delegated teams. Colton brings both executive leadership and technical implementation expertise, enabling organizations to move from strategy to execution without losing momentum.


The Integrator Background

At his core, Colton is a developer and systems integrator. He has spent years solving one of the most expensive and often overlooked challenges facing mid market organizations: disconnected systems that force employees to manually move information between different platforms.
During his time in higher education, he led the integration of housing, door access control, student records, mass notification, and financial systems into a unified architecture. The result was the elimination of redundant data entry, reduced errors, and significant time savings for staff.

He does more than identify integration opportunities. He builds the solutions that make them possible.

That same integration focused approach shapes the Fractional CIO and CTO engagements he leads at Boston BizTech. He directed an OCI migration that eliminated $300,000 in stranded university licensing debt overnight . He led a hospital human resources transformation that replaced paper based personnel processes and interoffice mail with a database driven web application, enabling immediate employment status updates and eliminating manual handoffs. He has also served as Enterprise Architect on every clinical research engagement undertaken by the firm.

Security & Architecture Depth

As a security and network architect, Colton evaluates technology solutions at a technical level, not at a sales deck level. He has led evaluations of enterprise security platforms, negotiated complex cloud infrastructure agreements, and designed next generation network environments from the ground up.

Colton also brings a perspective that few consultants possess: he has been on the client side of these decisions. Having managed vendors, budgets, security risks, and operational realities firsthand, he understands what successful partnerships look like and what poor service costs an organization. That experience informs every engagement he leads and every recommendation he makes.

“Having been a CIO, I know what it feels like when your technology partner isn’t really a partner — when they’re responding to tickets instead of helping you move the business forward. That’s the standard I hold every engagement to: would I have accepted this if I were the client?”

✽ HOW WE WORK

Every engagement gets the right team for the job.

Each engagement is led by the principal whose experience best fits the work. Brian leads engagements across pharma and biotech, financial services, distribution and warehousing, and post-acquisition M&A diagnostics. Colton leads engagements across higher education, healthcare, retail, food and beverage, and ERP customization work that requires deep technical execution alongside the strategy. On engagements that span both their strengths — most clinical research environments, for example — they collaborate, with one leading and the other in a defined supporting role. On every engagement, both principals are supported by a network of senior-level specialists assembled specifically for the work at hand. Clients never get a generalist filling a seat.

Specialist Capabilities

Information Security (Virtual CISO)

Security program design, threat assessment, tabletop exercises, and incident response planning — led by practitioners with dedicated security careers, not generalists who handle security as one of many responsibilities. 

Infrastructure and Engineering

Architects and engineers with specific expertise in the platforms and environments your engagement requires — whether cloud migration, network design, storage, or enterprise hardware deployment. 

Data Privacy (Fractional DPO)

Data protection and privacy compliance across US, EU, and UK regulatory frameworks — built and managed by specialists with deep regulatory knowledge across GDPR, HIPAA, and FDA requirements. 

Development and  Integration

 Developers with specific platform expertise for the systems being integrated or built — not junior staff learning on the job, but engineers with a proven track record on the technology in question.

✽ WHO WE WORK WITH

Mid-market companies where downtime is not an option.

We work best with companies that know something is wrong — even if they can’t name it precisely. They’re frustrated, they’ve been burned, or they’re growing fast and worried their technology won’t keep pace. We serve them across four industries where the cost of getting IT wrong is measured in operations, audits, and contracts lost.


Pharma & Biotech

High-stakes environments where data integrity and regulatory compliance aren’t optional — and a failed audit can end a contract relationship.

Financial Services

Complex architectures where security and real-time performance are non-negotiable and operational risk has direct regulatory consequences.

Universities & Higher Ed

Legacy ERP modernization, budget-critical licensing decisions, and security architecture for environments serving thousands of users simultaneously.

Distribution & Warehousing

Infrastructure and process automation that scales with transaction growth and keeps the business operational without the CEO managing it full-time.
