For management and IT

Fractional CTO: technical direction for your organisation, on a monthly subscription.

Your teams build apps, workflows and agents with Power Apps, Copilot Studio and AI app builders. We provide technical direction as an outsourced service, on a monthly subscription, so those apps go into production with architecture, governance and security in place. Everything stays in your own Microsoft 365 and Azure tenant.

The three phases of onboarding

We start from what already exists in your tenant.

    The inventory

    Your environments, apps, workflows and agents, who built them and which data they can access.

    The rules

    The proposed architecture, environments, DLP policies and review criteria, approved by you.

  3. 03

    Month by month

    Platform decisions, reviews, coaching and development, at your teams' pace.

What the subscription includes

Five components, in one monthly contract.

  • Technical direction

    Which platform to use, what to build in-house, what to buy and what to commission.

  • Governance and security on Microsoft

    Environments, DLP policies, Microsoft Purview, access rights to data, an inventory of agents and apps, the technical requirements of NIS2.

  • Review before production

    We review what your teams build before it goes live. The go-live decision stays with you.

  • Coaching for the people who build

    Working sessions on your team's real apps, not generic courses.

Questions about the fractional CTO service

What is a fractional CTO?

Your organisation's technical direction, provided as an outsourced service on a monthly subscription. You get a CTO's architecture decisions, governance and technical review, without a full-time in-house post.

How is it different from Support and DevOps?

Support and DevOps runs and develops the solutions in production, under an SLA. The fractional CTO service sets the technical direction and the governance rules, and reviews what your teams build. The two can be combined in one contract.

What do you check in the review before production?

The architecture of the app or agent, the environment it runs in, the connectors allowed by the DLP policies, access rights to data and the Purview labels. The review ends with a list of fixes, and the go-live decision stays with you.

How does fixed-price development per outcome work?

We agree the outcome and the acceptance criteria with you, then the price. We build with AI agents, following our playbook, and a senior engineer decides on and checks every delivery.

Where does the data stay?

In your own Microsoft 365 and Azure tenant. We work with accounts in your tenant, with the rights you approve.
