CTO Services

We provide CTO and Director level services at fractional or full time basis.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is a company executive that defines the technology trajectory. A CTO strategically pushes development forward and makes teams productive through organization, design, and consensus.

The fractional CTO (FraCTO) works the CTO role on a part-time basis, helps define and refine a company’s technology strategy and architecture, and accelerates technological growth.

CTO Solutions Include:

  • Define/Maintain the Technology Strategy: Work with leadership to define the tech goals and road map.

  • Technology Leadership and Guidance: Work with team leads to mentor, prioritize, and align architectural and design decisions.

  • Fielding of New Technologies: Identify and recommend new tech that helps company goals.

  • Determine MVP for a major release

  • Vendor Management: Make sure that vendors fit the tech strategy.

  • Risk Mitigation: Understand, communicate, and reduce risks: Includes: security, technical debt, ease of integration and compatibility.

  • Oversee Tech Operations: Keep a finger on the pulse of the tech development, infrastructure, and QA.

  • (Optionally) Oversee IT operations: sometimes needed if no CIO exists.

Why Do Companies Need a Fractional CTO?

Small companies and startups benefit from a FraCTO that don’t need a full time CTO, but still need technical guidance that a FraCTO provides. A FraCTO is a good choice for emerging businesses that need professional guidance without the cost of a full time CTO.

Typical problems that a FraCTO resolves:

  • Confusing, incompatible, or incoherent technical strategies

  • Avoid and reduce technical debt

  • Organize teams to more efficiently work

  • Help quality assurance (QA) teams work efficiently

  • Avoid going down risky tech rabbit holes

  • Maximize developer communications

  • Spearhead internal documentation to optimize dev teams
