Exponential Growth

I wanted to talk a little bit about a really powerful pattern that I've used in my business that I've seen work for a lot of other businesses.

And that's this idea of using fractional services where you can't really afford to hire a high end CFO or Senior Chief Software Architects or a CTOs, for example.

So one of the things I've seen is you get a business started, especially a service business, you've got a following, you've got a good customer base, and then what do you want to do?

You want to automate, right?

And so a lot of people will go and get some offshore teams because they're really cost effective.

And they start to build some software to help provide more automation for their customer base. It's a great plan.

And then what happens?

🔅 Lots of miscommunication

🔅 Lots of missed deadlines

🔅 All kinds of problems with updates causing more problems.

And one of the issues is that a lot of these service companies, they're not technology companies.

They're missing the role of a Chief Software Architect or CTO that really understands how to prioritize the business objectives and bridge the gap of communication to the technology teams.

Most of these companies do not need full time senior software architects.

The solution?

Use fractional services.

ThorTech Solution does for a lot of our customers. We provide fractional Chief Software Architecture services. This winds up accelerating those initiatives that you're already building because things get smoother.

🔅 You stop having misalignment between business objectives and technology.

🔅 You stop having so many problems with deployments.

And this model is something that you can utilize in other parts of your business.

In finance, operations, HR, etc.
