Fractional CTO services and strategic tech Leadership within your budget

Affordable CTO Expertise for Your Growing Business

Get started

Do you need a Fractional CTO?

You do not require a full time CTO position within your business but have the recurring need for senior technical guidance at management level.  

A fractional/virtual CTO may be used for a specific task or project and is much more cost effective than a full time hire.

You may have very specific experience requirements or would appreciate outside perspective on technology and growth plans.

You may or may not already hire technical resources within your business.

We are efficient

Time equals money. We don't overload problems with unnecessary resource. We measure efficiency by asking how much useful work gets done. We are not precious about changing focus if it means a more efficient method wins. We want to achieve your business goals with little wasted effort.

We are bold

At Slate we constantly ask questions of ourselves and our customers. In everything we do we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. We challenge the status quo by taking engineers for who and what they are. They just happen to write code.

Trust is more than just a word

Richard James, Head of Digital Technology and Engineering at Nationwide Building Society, talks about why he trusts us at Slate to accelerate digital change for the organisation.Our first project was to improve their existing banking app where we reduced the load time from up to 16 seconds to under a second. Following this success, we later went on to assist in delivering the Covid 19 response - the first bank in the UK to have a digital journey for the Coronavirus mortgage payment break.
