Questions
Short answers to what we're asked most. Anything else, ask us.
What is a fractional CTO?
A senior technology executive who works with you part-time. You get strategy, architecture and leadership for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
What is the difference between a CTO and a CIO?
A CTO leads the technology you build and sell. A CIO runs the systems your business uses internally. We cover both, so you get one view of all your technology.
Can you review a tender or a vendor proposal?
Yes. We help you set requirements, draft and evaluate tenders, choose vendors and negotiate contracts and SLAs, in both the public and private sectors.
How is a fractional CTO engagement priced?
On a monthly retainer or by the day. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Where do you work?
We're based in Johannesburg and work with businesses across South Africa, on site or remotely.
