What is CTO as a Service?
CTO as a Service, also known as outsourced CTO, is a business arrangement allowing companies to hire an experienced Chief Technology Officer on a project basis rather than employing them full-time. CTO combines technical and business responsibilities and can be used in all production or work stages, bringing significant technical value.
Discovery stage
During the discovery phase or initial stage of the project, CTO services can be used to conduct technology evaluation, feasibility analysis, create a project roadmap, and assess potential risks. Their technical knowledge will help align the business's expectations and project reality.
Technical solutions
Outsourced CTO services will come in handy when making architectural and technical decisions and implementing the necessary actions. An experienced Chief Technology Officer can provide insight into what technologies to use to make the end results more profitable and the implementation faster and more efficient.
Project planning
CTO is a person that has extensive strategic and planning experience. By building the project strategy, they can forecast potential risks, determine the range of needed resources, including roles and equipment, and describe each stage of the project development process.
Project scaling
CTO consulting services will be the most beneficial for project scaling. This includes scaling the development teams, technology upgrades, infrastructure scaling, etc. They can also highlight areas in the process that need optimization decisions to allow for future growth.
Recruitment process
While recruitment may not be the primary goal of employing a CTO as a Service, CTOs can still provide valuable thoughts on the process from the strategic and soft skills management point of view. They can assess the job market and pinpoint the development team gaps in the company.
Project audit
When the project is at its full force, on-site or virtual CTO services can help assess the progress and efficiency of the development team, align the current progress with the end results, and determine the areas for improvement.
Who needs the service?
Startups
Startups often have limited resources and may lack in-house technical talents. Such companies may not have enough time or money to hire an experienced CTO for a full position. By employing an invited CTO, they can access their extensive expertise and agile team without spending a lot of money and time needed to hire and grow a CTO.
CTO as a service for startups allows beginner companies to focus solely on developing and producing their product without losing the startup share. With CTO consulting services, startups can strategically plan their development during each stage and optimize underperforming areas.
SMB
Similarly to startups, small and mid-sized businesses can largely benefit from using fractional CTO services. Such companies already have a basic structure, roles division, as well as product and project management experience. At this point, an experienced CTO can conduct the project audit to highlight the areas that may use improvement. They can pinpoint the optimization options and suggest ways for their implementation.
They can also help with high-tier issues like strategic planning for future development or creating a roadmap for business scaling. CTOs’ expertise allows them to access the market needs and conditions and align them with the business objectives to adjust them. This ensures that the company continues to develop and that its products/services are in demand.
CTO as a Service: The benefits
Retaining focus
With CTO as a Service, businesses can focus on their main area of activity that generates money and leave the high-tier issues like technical planning and road mapping, technology partnerships, and data management to the professional.
Efficiency
CTO as a Service allows businesses to receive a comprehensive technical solution without extra expenditures or losing share in the startup.
Expertise
CTO as a Service can be one person or include a whole team of specialists. So startups and SMBs can get access to their extensive expertise without spending their money and time on hiring their own CTO.
