Why Hiring A Fractional CTO Is An Effective Business Strategy?
Optimal Resource Utilization
Match product development with business vision without the overheads associated with onboarding a full time CTO in the leadership role. A fractional CTO gives you the much needed technical expertise while effectively scaling the technology team.
Cross Functional Industry Experience
Eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel when designing a technology roadmap. With experience having handled similar situations, fractional CTOs are better equipped to handle and overcome challenges of technology projects.
Minimize Technology Expenses
Hiring a fractional CTO or interim CTO can help keep the tech expenses to minimum. By aligning technology spending with business objectives, fractional CTOs can measure technology expenses, conduct ROI evaluation and maintain tech budget.
Strategic Business Liaison
Chief technology officers (CTOs) need to work closely with both the business and the tech department. A fractional CTO essentially functions as a translator and communication intermediary on technology solutions.
Single Point Of Contact
A fractional CTO is an integral part of the executive team who functions as a single point of contact when designing the future technology strategy. Fractional CTO services can streamline business objectives while offering a fresh perspective.
Risk Reduction
Filling the role of the chief technology officer can prove to be an expensive undertaking, especially for early stage startups. By consulting with a fractional CTO, you get access to a technology leader with industry specific knowledge while minimizing the risk of long term hiring.
Fractional CTO vs Interim CTO vs Part Time CTO : Which Is Right Fit For You?
While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are actually three distinct models of hiring a CTO.
- A fractional CTO as the name suggests, takes over only a fraction of the responsibilities while the others are shared with the in-house resources.
- A part time CTOs role comes into play when you need someone to be more involved than an ad-hoc advisor but don’t need a full time employee.
- An interim CTO is someone who temporarily fills in the position of a full time CTO in larger companies.
Interim CTOs typically have shorter engagements- between 1 to 3 months and focus on solving specific challenges that require larger bandwidth akin to a full time role.Fractional CTOs, on the other hand, are the perfect fit for small and medium sized businesses in the need of ongoing technology leadership, for an extended period of time.
