About TVG

Built by someone who's
actually run IT.

TVG wasn't founded by a consultant who studied IT from the outside. It was built by someone who ran IT operations, managed real budgets, and made high-stakes technology decisions with real consequences, for over two decades. The kind of advisor who has sat where your team sits, and isn't going anywhere.

What drives TVG

Three commitments that shape every engagement.

Service Above Self

Veteran‑owned and operated. TVG was built on the same standard Chris was trained on: service above self. Your interests come first. Not because it's a policy, but because that's the only way he knows how to operate.

Honest Over Comfortable

You'll get what TVG actually sees, in plain business language, without hedging. Sound decision? You'll hear it. Something warrants concern? That gets surfaced. TVG gives one kind of answer: straight.

Advisory-First, Always

TVG's obligation is to your outcome, established before any solution is ever discussed. That's the only way honest advisory works.

Chris Sliga

Founder, The Vircios Group

I spent over two decades as the person making technology decisions, not advising on them. Complicated environments, real budgets, leadership teams that wanted answers they could act on. The kind of places where a wrong call costs real money and the stakes are never theoretical.

What I found, over and over: advice was always available, but independent advice wasn't. Vendors had an angle. Consultants were selling something. The person who actually owned the decision was often the only one without a financial stake in it, and the one making the final call with the least reliable information.

I started TVG to be the advisor I never had. No sales quota, no vendor pulling my strings. If a product is the right answer and you buy it through me, fine. But the advice is never the thing being sold. Just someone who's been in the chair, knows where the bodies are buried, and will tell you what I actually think, even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.

  • Built and tested disaster recovery programs that performed under real conditions
  • Navigated hundreds of vendor relationships: the good, the bad, and the ones I should have fired sooner
  • Two decades inside compliance-driven environments: HIPAA, SOX, and the audit cycles that come with them
  • U.S. Air Force veteran. Service above self is not a marketing line
  • Two decades means I've made mistakes. I'll tell you about those too.
The TVG difference

Why clients engage TVG.

Founder-led, every engagement

Every TVG engagement is led by the founder. Not handed off to an associate after the pitch. Not triaged by a project coordinator. Not rotated between analysts. Two decades of senior IT decision-making on every call. That's the standard, and it doesn't change as TVG grows.

Judgment, not just access

You can Google a vendor. You can ask AI to compare them. What you can't do is Google what it's actually like when their implementation goes off the rails at 11pm, who actually answers the phone, or what their contract looks like when you try to leave. Twenty years of those moments is what TVG brings to the table.

Implementation oversight, no markup

TVG stays through go-live. Your chosen provider delivers, TVG makes sure they do. No project fees. No markup on what your provider charges.

TVG tells you when you don't need anything

When a solution isn't warranted, TVG says so clearly. Honest advisory works in both directions. That's what earns the relationship.

Start Here

No pitch. Just strategy and execution.
