Make the advisory output useful for a decision
Start with the decision your organisation needs to make: retain or replace a system, choose a vendor, define a product release or review a delivery risk.
Inputs to review
Bring the objectives, constraints, architecture notes, vendor proposals and known issues. Identify assumptions that still need evidence rather than treating them as settled facts.
Outputs to agree
An agreed review can cover options, dependencies, risks and recommended next steps. Specify the written deliverable and the questions it must answer before the engagement starts.
Decision and delivery ownership
Name the people who approve investment and accept technical work. Define whether implementation oversight is included or needs a separate scope, alongside any ongoing review cadence.
Fractional CTO and technology advisory FAQ
What does a fractional CTO do for a business?
A fractional CTO helps business leaders make technology decisions without hiring a full-time CTO. UNO's advisory work can cover architecture, development priorities, supplier proposals and delivery risks. The engagement focuses on the decisions you need to make and who will carry them out.
Can UNO work with our in-house developers or existing supplier?
Yes. We can review plans and technical decisions with your developers and suppliers. The engagement defines who makes decisions, who delivers the work and when reviews happen, so advice fits the team's day-to-day responsibilities.
Is software development included in CTO advisory?
Development is included only when it is part of the agreed proposal. An advisory engagement may focus on a system review, roadmap or delivery oversight. Any implementation work, maintenance and operational support should have a clear scope and budget.
How much does fractional CTO or technology advisory cost?
Technology advisory engagements with UNO start from RM20,000. The scope depends on what needs reviewing, such as architecture, supplier proposals or a delivery roadmap, and how long ongoing oversight continues. Development work is included only when it is part of the agreed proposal.
What should we bring to an initial technology review?
Bring the business decisions you need to make, an overview of your systems and any current supplier proposals. Known problems, upcoming deadlines and budget constraints are useful too. We can then identify which documents and technical access are needed for a focused review.
What should a technology roadmap include?
A useful roadmap identifies the business problem, the proposed work, dependencies, budget assumptions and the person responsible for each decision. It should distinguish urgent maintenance from new features. Review dates matter because priorities can change when testing, supplier access or customer feedback reveals new information.
Can a CTO review help us compare software vendor proposals?
A review can compare what each proposal includes, assumes and leaves to your team. Look at integration work, data migration, testing, ownership, running costs and exit arrangements alongside the build price. The review should produce specific questions for each vendor and explain the trade-offs behind a recommendation.
