CaaS, or fractional CTO, emerged at the end of the previous decade. It offers companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and startups a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) role for a specific timeframe with defined objectives.

CTO Role

In an organisation, the chief technology officer plays a pivotal role in shaping the company’s technological future. The CTO crafts the company’s technological vision, devises technology strategies and goals, and ensures that technology-related decisions are in line with the organisation’s business objectives.

CTOs, with their unique positions within the C-suite, are instrumental in driving organisational efficiency and productivity. They achieve this by introducing and implementing new technologies that streamline operations and enhance performance.

As a service concept

In the 2000s, the term ‘as a service’ gained popularity with the rise of cloud computing. The ‘as a service’ concept is all about cost-effective assistance. You’re paying for a specific service for a defined period, making it a financially savvy choice. 

Business case

Flexibility: Allowing companies to engage a CTO for short-term projects or to achieve specific objectives, without the long-term commitment and costs associated with a permanent hire.

Cost-Effectiveness: A significant advantage when a company might not have the budget for a full-time executive salary. It provides access to high-level expertise without the financial burden, making it a smart investment for your business.

Diverse Expertise: Fractional CTOs often have experience working with multiple companies across different industries, bringing a wealth of diverse knowledge and innovative approaches to the table, inspiring new ways of problem-solving and growth.
