In Metro Detroit
Renaissance Center, Detroit
Metro Detroit
It is a Wednesday afternoon in Metro Detroit and your office lead is copying a customer's details from one app into the scheduling software, then again into the invoice, then into a spreadsheet you asked for. You are paying for every one of those tools.
A fractional CTO looks at the whole picture: what each system does, what you pay and where data gets stuck. They pick what stays, connect what should talk, plan the switch for what should go and stand between you and the vendors' sales pitches.
Your team enters the details once. Reports pull themselves, logins are under control, and when the next shiny app comes along, you have someone who can tell you plainly whether it is worth it.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

A fractional CTO owns your technology decisions part time. For most owner-run businesses that is less about writing code and more about choosing the right software, connecting it, protecting the data and managing the people who build or support it. Think of it as having someone on your side when you talk to tech vendors.
Managed IT keeps computers, networks and email running and fixes what breaks. A CTO decides what technology the business should run on and how it should fit together. You usually need both, and the CTO is the one who holds the IT provider to the plan.
The scope sets the price: how many systems you run, whether a migration or custom build is underway, and how much vendor management is involved. A quiet month of reviews takes less time than a month with a software switch. We price it as a fixed monthly retainer or a single project fee once we have talked it through.
Start with the job the software has to do and the people who will use it every day, not the feature list. We write down your must-haves, test the top options with your real workflow and check how each one exports your data if you ever leave. Tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber or Dentrix each fit some businesses better than others.
Custom software is worth it when your process is what sets you apart and no off-the-shelf tool fits without ugly workarounds. It is not worth it to copy a tool you can rent. A good CTO will talk you out of custom work more often than into it.
You learn a lot, but software choices get made from demos and gut feel, and mistakes are costly to undo.
Makes sense for a tech company, rarely for a business whose product is service.
A senior technology lead part time who picks, connects and manages your systems and keeps vendors honest.
