FAQsWhat does a Fractional CTO do for a South Texas business?
A Fractional CTO provides part-time technical leadership — vendor selection, architecture decisions, team building, technology roadmaps, and technical due diligence — without the cost of a full-time executive. Most South Texas clients engage us for 1–2 days per week.
What types of South Texas businesses benefit from a Fractional CTO?
Businesses in a growth phase that need technical leadership but can't justify a $200,000+ full-time CTO salary. Common clients include healthcare groups building patient portals, logistics companies digitizing operations, law firms modernizing their tech stack, and startups preparing for investment.
Can you help us evaluate and select software vendors?
Yes. Vendor evaluation and selection is one of the highest-value services we provide. We assess vendors on technical fit, contract terms, data ownership, integration capability, and total cost of ownership — before you sign a multi-year contract.
Do you work with businesses outside the Rio Grande Valley?
Yes. We serve clients across South Texas — Laredo, Corpus Christi, Victoria, and the Coastal Bend — as well as remote-first engagements. Most Fractional CTO work is done remotely with in-person availability for critical meetings.
How does engagement pricing work?
Fractional CTO engagements are structured as monthly retainers. We define the scope, expected hours, and deliverables before the engagement starts. Most clients engage for 3–6 months minimum to see meaningful strategic progress.
