Your technology advisor, beside your IT provider
Someone who owns the technology plan for your business. It's the same role as a fractional CTO, a title borrowed from bigger firms. Working together starts with a 15-minute call.
When nobody's driving the plan
Technology decisions get made the day something breaks. Purchases happen one vendor at a time. Renewals arrive as surprises, and the software keeps piling up. Nobody planned it this way, and you've become your company's CTO by default.
What your technology advisor does
- Writes your technology roadmap. A plan for your systems that follows where the business is going.
- Sets a budget and a replacement cycle. You'll know what needs replacing and when, well before it's urgent.
- Reviews vendors and contracts. Renewal dates, services that overlap, and the points to raise before you sign anything new.
- Sorts out software sprawl. Finds the subscriptions you're paying for that nobody uses.
- Helps with build-or-buy calls. Whether an off-the-shelf product fits a new need or building your own is worth it.
- Sits in your planning meetings. The technology voice in the room whenever you plan.
Working with your IT provider
Your advisor works beside the IT provider you already have. Together with you, the advisor sets the direction and the priorities, and your provider does the work. FyrTech is vendor-neutral and has nothing to resell, so none of the advice comes with a product attached.
Who it's for
It's for growing small businesses where technology decisions still sit with the owner. That includes professional firms, agencies, construction and the trades, and family-owned businesses, along with anyone facing a move, a new office, a system change, or a year of growth.
How the engagement runs
The role is fractional and monthly. In the first 30 days, your advisor takes stock of what you have and writes a 12-month technology roadmap. From then on, you meet monthly to plan the next steps and keep the roadmap current. We quote it after the 15-minute call.
