Which cloud, which supplier, which contract, what do we build and what do we buy? With CTO as a Service you have an experienced cloud and workplace architect at the table for a fixed number of days per month. Not a licence salesman, but someone on your side of the table.
You are growing, merging, or facing a big IT decision: a new cloud environment, an ERP choice, a six-figure contract renewal. You have good IT people, but no architect who guards the long line and advises the board.
What do you have, what does it cost, what is it worth, where does it hurt? Including the contracts and dependencies.
Two years ahead, by priority and budget. What first, what later, what never.
Supplier selection, architecture decisions, budget and schedule control. The CTO sits in the important conversations on your side.
Quarterly: where we are on the roadmap, what we decide, what it costs. In plain language.
"The best IT decision is often: we're not doing this. A supplier earns nothing from that. We do: your trust."Remy Cavo, Remarx

For most organisations up to a few hundred employees, one or two days a month is enough to steer the roadmap, suppliers and budgets structurally.
They oversee your technology choices, roadmap and budgets, and sit on your side of the table in supplier conversations. Each quarter they discuss with the board where you stand, what needs deciding and what it costs — in plain language.
A CTO is about direction: which choices you make, in what order, within what budget. A cloud and workplace architect is about delivery: how the environment is technically built. Both are available separately and complement each other.
For most organisations up to a few hundred employees, one or two days a month is enough to steer the roadmap, suppliers and budgets structurally.
That works fine. The CTO actively manages the relationship with your existing suppliers and reviews their proposals on your behalf. You do not have to switch partners first in order to add someone alongside them.
Design, migration and operations. Most environments were moved to Azure one-to-one and never redesigned.
