A technology roadmap is a dated list of what you will fix, replace, or stop funding—tied to business outcomes like “close books faster,” “pass the cyber questionnaire,” or “open the second site.” It is not a vendor catalog.
Without one, every salesperson resets your priorities every quarter.
What belongs on the page
Current state: users, sites, critical apps, known risks.
Targets for the next 4–8 quarters.
Dependencies (MFA before guest sharing expansion; backup before server decommission).
Budget bands and owners.
Explicit deferrals so “nice to have” does not sneak in as emergency spend.
OC examples
A Fullerton manufacturer might sequence: endpoint MFA → immutable backups → Wi-Fi survey → ERP hosting decision. A Newport Beach professional firm might sequence: email authentication → DLP for client files → laptop encryption → phone system.
Who maintains it
An owner plus a vCIO or MSP lead, reviewed quarterly. See what a vCIO does and the IT strategy roadmap playbook.
