Fractional CTO & Technology Consulting
Senior technology leadership, without the full-time hire.
Big technology and vendor decisions are hard to make well without someone experienced in the room. Our technology consulting works like a fractional CTO for Oakland County and Metro Detroit businesses — a small business advisor for software, vendors, and IT strategy decisions, month to month, scoped to what you need. When the goal is a bigger shift, that same engagement covers digital transformation consulting: sequencing the change so it lands without stalling the business.

Real problems, plainly solved.

You’re making major technology and vendor decisions with no experienced advisor to check them.
What we do
We join your planning, vet the options, and keep your tech aligned with where you’re headed.
Fewer costly mistakes and a clear roadmap — without a full-time salary.
The problem
A software salesperson is pushing you toward an expensive, long contract.

We evaluate the options objectively against your real needs and budget.
You buy only what actually moves your business forward.

Common questions
Fractional CTO, answered.
- What is a fractional CTO?
- Senior technology leadership on a part-time, month-to-month basis — the experienced voice a small business needs in planning conversations, vendor decisions, and roadmap calls, without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
- How does the retainer work?
- You get ongoing access scoped to your needs: monthly strategy sessions, vendor evaluations, roadmap maintenance, on-call advisory, and meeting attendance as needed. Retainers run $1,500–$5,000 per month and flex as your priorities change.
- Is there a long-term contract?
- No. Advisory is month-to-month. We earn the relationship by being useful, not by locking you into a long agreement.
- Is this the same as IT consulting?
- It is the strategy side of IT consulting: technology direction, software and vendor selection, and planning for small businesses across Oakland County and Metro Detroit. We are not a break-fix help desk — and if day-to-day device support is what you actually need, we will point you toward the right managed IT provider rather than sell you the wrong thing.
