The Three Models of CTO As a Services
1. The Part-time CTO
This model is best for businesses that need a CTO’s expert skills and knowledge on a part-time basis. The CTO works for some agreed hours each week and continues to render ongoing support and guidance to your organization’s tech team as needed. Consider this option if you need the services of a consistent, long-term presence of a CTO but you also don’t want to commit to the cost of a full-time in-house CTO arrangement.
2. The Fractional CTO
Perfect for startups and small businesses that have tech-savvy founders but still need strategic oversight and guidance from a CTO but only on a part-time or as-needed basis. The CTO is engaged to provide high-level advisory services, such as developing technology roadmaps, evaluating technology risks, and advising on technology investments. This way, you get the help you need to navigate specific tech challenges, while still retaining operational control.
3. The Project CTO
This service works on a project basis and is best for businesses that have a specific tech project that requires expert oversight. The CTO will lead the project from start to finish, working either with the company’s in-house team or an outsourcing vendor. The CTO will ensure that the project is managed efficiently and effectively. They ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved.
