The same rules apply to other areas where complex products and\/or services are launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, this thesis can justifiably be applied to companies that are going to create a digital solution \u2013 even if they manage to gather the best developers with pumped-up hard skills necessary for the implementation of the project, they will still need some \u201cMoses\u201d who will lead them in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_47_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-69dac89f75d22\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-69dac89f75d22\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/extendsclass.com\/blog\/optimize-strategy-with-virtual-cto-s-cost-effective-tech-leadership\/#An_Alternative_to_the_Services_of_an_Expensive_Specialist_Already_Exists\" title=\"An Alternative to the Services of an Expensive Specialist Already Exists\">An Alternative to the Services of an Expensive Specialist Already Exists<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/extendsclass.com\/blog\/optimize-strategy-with-virtual-cto-s-cost-effective-tech-leadership\/#Final_Thoughts\" title=\"Final Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Alternative_to_the_Services_of_an_Expensive_Specialist_Already_Exists\"><\/span>An Alternative to the Services of an Expensive Specialist Already Exists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visual-craft.com\/our-services\/cto-as-service\/\">virtual CTO services<\/a> could raise a lot of doubts because despite the constantly growing number of software solutions for remote interaction, teams, especially small ones, seemed to have a more comfortable option of working in the same office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, along with many bad things, the COVID-19 pandemic has also done good ones \u2013 namely, it has forced businesses everywhere to reconsider their established practices and beliefs about remote collaboration. In this regard, the CTO as a Service format has gained a new round of popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, CTO as Service is not much different from when you hire a specialist for this position in your office. So, if your team needs supervision from a technical expert for eight hours every day throughout the work week, you&#8217;ll get it. However, such measures are rarely mandatory, and, in practice, the number of hours when you may need CTO service is much less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, whichever of these two options you choose, you still achieve economic efficiency \u2013 at least due to the absence of the need to organize a new workplace, pay associated taxes, and adhere to competitive rates typical of your local labor market. If we add to this the reduction in time required to find a person with the necessary CTO skills (in the case of cooperation with a contractor, this usually takes no more than two weeks), we get benefits only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the problem of finding cost-effective solutions comes down to finding a contractor company, which you will simply have to answer in detail the question: \u201cWhat is CTO in business for you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summarizing the above, we can conclude that for teams seeking a balance between the level of CTO qualifications and the cost of services, the remote collaboration model is best suited. At the same time, finding a trusted contractor who will take into account all your CTO requirements and select the appropriate specialist for you can be a real challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why we are here and ready to make our contribution to your project today.
