What are you looking for in a CTO?

Cost Control

Cost is often not a consideration when building technology platforms.

Cost should be one consideration when building technology platforms and for it to be as important as new features and software development.

Leadership

Risk project delivery without a cohesive technology strategy.

Get all the engineers working together towards a single goal that considers technology constraints and business factors in the development of the technology platform.

Expertise

Leverage the latest technology without experience.

Adopting newer technologies to get efficiency gains requires experience to mitigate wasted time, rework and identifying ways to integrate without mythical effort.

The CTO as a Service might be perfect for you.

Why hire a Fractional CTO?

If your business has strategic opportunities that require some technology investment a CTO can help make pragmatic decisions around the kinds of investment that would be necesary to deliver a minimum viable product and then execute the strategy to deliver on it. Towards this goal the CTO will work with you to build a business case and present it to investors and business executives.

Auditing source code before acquisition. Our technology leaders have over twenty years experience in a variety of roles ranging from software development to large-scale operations. This expertise plus a dedicated team will enable us to go into detail and prepare a report which will provide confidence in a transaction of this kind. We consider many factors when completing this kind of work ensuring that you don't get a totally unusable report.

IT costs are out of control within your business and you need help assessing them and potentially managing a period of cost reduction. Cost control is an active part of any technology role but often it isn't managed actively. We have experience implemented excellent cost control processes within an organisation as well as using automation to reduce cost while still unlocking the value in a technology.

You need someone with experience with day zero team building. Build a team to help deliver a project from day zero requires 99% leadership and vision. All our CTOs have experience starting from day zero. A skill we think is under-rated. Day zero team builders have hands-on experience to help begin to look at technology solutions and identify a way forward.

We think a good CTO can provide your business with good technology execution and enable it to grow at a lower cost and make your business a better acquisition target.
