When Do You Need CTO as a Service?
CTO as a Service is a great way to adjust software design and development processes quickly and efficiently, boosting your team’s productivity. Many successful startups, including YouTube, Snapchat, and Lyft, employed external CTO services at some point.
An outsourced CTO will be beneficial for your business if:
- – you have a brilliant product idea but little understanding of how to bring it to life
- – you’ve managed to start product development, but the architecture you chose turned out to hinder further progress
- – you do not require a full-time CTO at the moment and have to focus on ensuring cost-efficiency, paying only for the services your company really needs
- – you need an external expert to help your development team deal with various technical issues
- – you need extra expertise to guide your business through digital transformation successfully
- – you are looking for a specialist with profound technical leadership experience to create project technical roadmaps, assess contractors, and negotiate technology aspects with stakeholders.

Listen to them because they can give strong advice about how to build good products.
We are a software startup and using Devox allowed us to get an MVP to market faster and less cost than trying to build and fund an R&D team initially. Communication was excellent with Devox. This is a top notch firm.
Their level of understanding, detail, and work ethic was great. We had 2 designers, 2 developers, PM and QA specialist. I am extremely satisfied with the end deliverables. Devox Software was always on time during the process.
We get great satisfaction working with them. They help us produce a product we’re happy with as co-founders. The feedback we got from customers was really great, too. Customers get what we do and we feel like we’re really reaching our target market.
I’m blown up with the level of professionalism that’s been shown, as well as the welcoming nature and the social aspects.

Great job! We met the deadlines and brought happiness to our customers. Communication was perfect. Quick response. No problems with anything during the project. Their experienced team and perfect communication offer the best mix of quality and rates.
The project continues to be a success. As an early-stage company, we're continuously iterating to find product success. Devox has been quick and effective at iterating alongside us. I'm happy with the team, their responsiveness, and their output.
We hired the Devox team for a complicated (unusual interaction) UX/UI assignment. The team managed the project well both for initial time estimates and also weekly follow-ups throughout delivery. Overall, efficient work with a nice professional team.
Their intuition about the product and their willingness to try new approaches and show them to our team as alternatives to our set course were impressive. The Devox team makes it incredibly easy to work with, and their ability to manage our team and set expectations was outstanding.
Devox is a team of exepctional talent and responsible executives. All of the talent we outstaffed from the company were experts in their fields and delivered quality work. They also take full ownership to what they deliver to you. If you work with Devox you will get actual results and you can rest assured that the result will procude value.
