You might need a Chief Technical Office (CTO) or a Chief Architect (CA), and not even realize it. And wouldn’t it be great if that CTO could write code, and help you develop your product and have the “chops” to face off with your existing developers?Here are some of the ways that CaaS could help you. Vision: Helping you realize your vision by helping to assemble a development team and leading them to develop a product Innovation: Taking an existing product and helping to move it to the future state Opinions: Assessment of your current applications and development organization Confidence: Meeting with investors. Often times, an investor will be more comfortable knowing that there is someone with a lot of senior-level experience behind the scene. Design: Architecting and designing systems, especially cloud-based systems Refactoring: Transforming your system into microservices Hacking: Writing production-quality code Documentation: Writing technical roadmaps and white papers Faceoffs: Performing product evaluations Due Diligence: Vetting vendors, and facing off with CEO’s, CTO’s and Chief Architects from other organizations A chief technology officer helps you to make better decisions about the tech stack, avoid aberrated costs, and deliver the product to the market fastly. For startups and small businesses, it might be a challenge to afford professional CTO as a service. However, with a third-party CTO, they can benefit from this type of service, working by a model that is the most convenient.

If you just need a little bit of computing power, then you only pay for the actual services that you use. If you are a business whose busy period comes several times a year, then you pay for a lot of computing power only during those times, and the rest of the year, you only pay to “keep the lights on”. Just like working with Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure or Google Compute Cloud, you only pay CTO as a Service for the time you use us. Unlike engaging a major IT consulting firm, there are no long-term contracts that you get locked into. If you need us to work with us for 20 hours a week, then that’s what you pay for. If you want to keep us on a monthly retainer to meet with your development team once a week, then that’s all you pay for. If you need to bring us to a meeting with investors, then you just pay us for the meeting. And, if you want to engage us more, then you just have to pay for those increased hours. In this way, you can think of CaaS as you think of your lawyer or accountant. Why should startups consider the CTO as a Service model? As it is often the case for most early-stage startups, teams are rather limited to a small number of members. That’s why we believe that their founders can benefit greatly from collaborating with external homogeneous teams to guide their product development process from idea stage and all the way to market launch. In our experience, we’ve seen founders who disregard any collaborations in the initial stages of their business. This is a common misconception that costs startups a lot of money that be otherwise invested wisely. Specifically, we are talking about the Research and MVP development stage, basically, the most important aspects that lead to product-market fit. Thus, the CTO as a Service model implies that you will work with an Agile team that is already used to collaborating and has countless years of experience in launching, scaling and even pivoting web and mobile products. This team will support you in addressing tech-related situations while aiming to achieve business performance growth by eliminating unnecessary risks and ensuring the budget is spent efficiently. Overseeing the latest trends in the industry, just like a full time CTO, a consulting CTO will also guide your company towards staying relevant and constantly delivering value to its customers. Now in terms of cost, you will find that, unlike hiring a single professional, CTO as a Service might seem more expensive. The reason being launching a collaboration with an entire team of developers, QA engineers, and designers led by a technical & business-minded engineer. However, in the long run, this will only prove to be a cost-effective decision when looking at the output that such team can bring to your product development in terms of quality and resources spent.
