Strategic Technology Direction
Align technology investments with business goals, backed by a clear roadmap and prioritised initiatives.
Strategic Technology Leadership on Demand
Access senior CTO expertise to shape your AI, cloud and digital roadmap—without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
Eva Consulting’s CTO as a Service gives growing SMEs direct access to experienced technology leadership that usually sits inside large enterprises only. We partner with you as a virtual CTO or fractional CTO, helping you define technology strategy, prioritise initiatives, manage risk and turn ideas into secure, scalable delivery. From AI strategy and automation to cloud migration and integration, you gain a trusted technology leader who understands both your business context and the realities of implementation.
The Challenge: Growing Without Senior Technology Leadership
As your business scales, technology decisions become more complex and more critical:
- You are expected to deliver digital experiences that match much larger competitors, but without an in‑house CTO.
- Systems have grown organically, creating technical debt, integration issues and operational bottlenecks.
- You see potential in AI, automation and cloud, but lack a clear, risk-aware path forward.
- Vendors and platforms are pitching conflicting solutions, and it’s hard to know what is truly right for your business.
- Technology projects overrun, underdeliver, or fail to connect back to your strategic goals.
Without senior technology leadership, these decisions fall to founders or operations leaders who already have full plates—slowing momentum and increasing risk.
Our Solution: CTO as a Service from Eva Consulting
Eva Consulting’s CTO as a Service is a flexible, outcome-focused engagement where we act as your virtual CTO. You gain an experienced technology leader who works alongside your executive team, guiding critical decisions and shaping a practical technology roadmap.
We combine strategic advisory with hands-on oversight, tailored to the pace and scale of your SME:
- Virtual CTO / Fractional CTO: Regular engagement (e.g., 1–3 days per week or month) providing ongoing strategic and technical leadership.
- Embedded Partner: We participate in leadership meetings, steering committees and key vendor discussions as part of your extended team.
- Scalable Model: Increase or reduce engagement as your needs evolve—from initial strategy design to execution oversight and optimisation.
Our focus is simple: make sure every technology decision contributes to your business strategy, is secure and compliant, and can be executed effectively with the resources you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CTO as a Service and how is it different from hiring a full-time CTO?
CTO as a Service gives you access to senior technology leadership on a fractional basis. You gain the same level of strategic guidance and technical oversight you would expect from a full-time CTO, but with a flexible engagement model and without adding a permanent executive role to your organisation.
Who is CTO as a Service best suited for?
This service is designed for SMEs that are scaling, undergoing digital transformation, or planning significant technology change, but do not yet need or cannot justify a full-time CTO. Typical roles we work with include founders, CEOs and general managers across sectors such as financial services, fintech, and digital-first businesses.
Can you work with our existing internal and external teams?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with internal IT teams, product owners, delivery partners and vendors. Our role is to align everyone around a clear technology strategy, provide architectural guidance, and ensure decisions support long-term goals.
How flexible is the engagement model?
Engagements are tailored to your needs and can range from a short, intensive strategy phase through to an ongoing fractional CTO arrangement. We can adjust involvement as your organisation grows or as major initiatives start or complete.
Do you also help with hands-on delivery, or only strategy?
We provide both strategic direction and practical support. While our core role is to define the technology strategy, architecture and roadmap, we also stay close to execution—reviewing designs, refining backlogs, supporting vendor management and working with your teams to resolve technical issues. We do not replace delivery teams, but we actively guide and govern delivery to ensure outcomes align with the agreed strategy.
How do you handle security and compliance as part of CTO as a Service?
Security and compliance are embedded from the outset. We assess your current posture, define practical baselines, and ensure that architecture, integration patterns and vendor choices support strong security and regulatory expectations—without overburdening your teams.
What does a typical first engagement look like?
We usually begin with a focused discovery and assessment to understand your strategy, systems and priorities. From there, we define a clear roadmap and agree an ongoing CTO-as-a-Service model, including cadence of meetings, decision forums and specific outcomes we will be accountable for.
