Your team in leading tech is ready.
Are you ready to transform your technology?

A: A Fractional CTO is a chief technology officer who provides on-demand services to a company or organization. In other words, it is a freelance contract that implies working for a fraction of the time and cost and just on the part of the project as opposed to full- or part-time CTO positions.

In short, FCTOs are responsible for overseeing the organization’s tech strategy, direction, and operations. They help companies with tech-related tasks such as:

• Developing and implementing strategies
• Managing IT operations
• Overseeing product development
• Managing vendor relationships
• Evaluating and implementing new technologies
• Providing leadership and mentorship

A: We specialize in developing interoperable systems for healthcare providers, including Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, Patient Summary systems, FHIR-compliant APIs, and telehealth platforms. Our solutions streamline workflows, improve patient care, and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, ultimately reducing operational costs for providers.

A: FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It enables seamless data sharing between different systems, which is crucial for improving patient care, supporting telehealth, and integrating various health data sources like labs, EHRs, and patient monitoring systems.

A: As a general rule we advise our clients that it is strategic for their business to maintain in-house technical capabilities. What tends to work well is our team augmenting your technical team with additional skills or capacity that you're lacking - this ensures your technical IP remains a core part of your business and organisation. It most cases it is not a good idea to outsource your IT function in its entirety.

If you need support in building out a internal technical team, part of our service offering includes strategic capacity planning and support that offers your business immediate access to a technical team to begin the work, while you begin recruiting and setting up structures that will support your own highly effective technical team. Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of working with us do not simply end with a project or contract. A successful partnership results in your team's capabilities and productivity having grown as a result.

A: It is great that you are considering using the FHIR data standard in your systems. FHIR is especially well suited for health data information exchange or interoperability use cases as it promotes a standardised data format for sharing health data between systems. That said FHIR may not be the best fit for your data warehouse as there are performance considerations that may impact your use case.

There are specialised methodologies specially designed for maintaining data quality & flexibility in large scale data warehouses. Get in contact with our team to discuss this in more detail.

A: Yes, we would need to have a series of initial meetings to understand the systems you want to rebuild, your desired timelines and goals, thereafter we can identify available opportunities and confirm if we are the right partner to help you.

A: We are always looking to help get businesses off of the ground. However it is important to note that software projects should not be approached as a once off investment. You need to plan to maintain and extend your application as the software and your business needs are constantly evolving. If your business does not have the budget to sustain an in-house or outsourced developer staff you are likely going to be better off buying an off-the-shelf solution. With that in mind, we will first need to meet and understand your goals, after which we can advise what is possible.

A: There is massive demand and competition for high quality software engineering talent at the moment, which can lead to delays in your technical projects. There are also hidden costs that come with recruiting and managing in-house technical resources, which makes a technical partner a useful option that offers you the flexibility to onboard developers at short notice to augment your team's capacity or skills while reducing upfront recruitment costs and mitigating risks associated with permanent hiring.

A: Yes certainly. But note there can be additional costs and delays when continuing development on an existing code base which has not been maintained or is poorly documented. Sometimes it is simpler restarting. If unsure, please feel free to get in touch so we can advise you.
