Frequently Asked Questions About CTO as a Service
CTO as a Service (CaaS) is an outsourced technology leadership model that provides businesses with access to experienced Chief Technology Officer expertise without the cost of a full-time executive hire. It encompasses fractional, virtual, and interim CTO arrangements, allowing companies to receive strategic technology guidance, architecture decisions, team leadership, and technical roadmap development on a flexible, scalable basis.
A Fractional CTO works part-time on an ongoing basis, typically dedicating a set number of hours per week or month to your company—ideal for startups that need consistent technology leadership but cannot justify a full-time executive. A Virtual CTO provides remote technology leadership with flexible engagement, often project-based or on-demand, suitable for companies that need expert guidance without regular on-site presence. An Interim CTO serves as a temporary full-time or near-full-time CTO during organizational transitions, such as when searching for a permanent CTO, during leadership changes, or through critical technology initiatives.
CTO as a Service pricing varies based on engagement type and scope. Kreissage offers flexible pricing models including hourly consulting, monthly retainer packages, and project-based pricing. This approach typically costs 50-80% less than hiring a full-time CTO while providing equivalent strategic value. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific needs and engagement level.
