External CTO — manage your IT system without hiring
Long-term support at your pace (e.g., 2 days/month for 12 months), to secure your decisions, structure your IT, and continuously improve your processes.
- An experienced CTO who knows you and follows your trajectory long-term
- Decision + Execution: framing, implementation, follow-up, maintenance
- Simple monthly flat rate, without hiring burden
Who is this offer for?
For leaders and teams who want to move fast, without improvising

You have providers... but no one to referee and keep the course
Your tools are piling up (SaaS, Excel, workarounds) and debt is increasing
You are launching a project (ERP/CRM, DMS, BI, cloud migration) and want to secure it
You want to industrialize and automate your internal processes
You hesitate between build vs buy, or need to choose a solution / partner
