Specialized Biotech IT Support & Fractional CIO Services

The Expertise You Need to Support Fast, Affordable Life Sciences Innovation

We provide Biotech IT Support that fits your current needs and budget, while helping you avoid costly technology and regulatory mistakes

Finding and hiring skilled biotech IT support professionals is harder than ever. With a limited supply of true biotech IT experts, these specialists are not only difficult to find but also expensive, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that may not need that level of expertise full-time.

Yet SMBs are often the ones most in need of specialized guidance to grow safely, securely, and efficiently with scalable, compliant IT solutions. At Pennant, we provide expert, affordable fractional biotech IT talent, whether you need a fractional CIO for strategic guidance, a director-level consultant to create and implement your IT roadmap, or senior engineering expertise to complete complex technical projects that require advanced skill sets, we can help.

Flexible Biotech IT Support Tailored to Your Stage of Growth

Every biotech company’s journey is unique. That’s why Pennant’s Biotech IT Support offers flexible, right-sized models that evolve with you, from early research to commercialization. We combine deep life sciences experience with proven frameworks that keep your organization secure, compliant, and ready for scale.

With an experienced team and proprietary playbooks, we know what works (and what doesn’t) for your organization’s current size and stage, helping you maximize your current budget and avoid costly problems down the road.

We act as the expert guide in your corner, ensuring you take the fastest and safest path to commercialization. Our team layers on top of your existing help desk or internal IT staff and works hand in hand with your team to provide the specialized support, leadership, and project execution expertise that many small and medium biotech organizations need.
