Frequently Asked Questions
While there are clear benefits to hiring permanent members of staff, this process also involves considerable risk and obligation, particularly when considering board-level members of staff. Outsourcing your CTO enables you to benefit from the experience and knowledge of a highly capable individual, while mitigating the employer responsibilities and commitments typically required. If you need a fresh perspective or an individual with a specific set of skills, an outsourced CTO may be the answer.
An outsourced CTO can work on a part time basis. Due to the reduced working hours, it can often be useful to scale back a part-time CTOs responsibilities, having them focus on key projects or operate with a more deliberate remit than a full-time employee. A Gather Technology CTO will always advise you on how they believe their time and resource is best allocated to achieve your business objectives.
By outsourcing your patch management, it allows the internal IT team to outsource tedious tasks, thereby giving your IT team the freedom and flexibility to focus on other projects that require their undivided attention.
In-house patch management can be expensive, requiring IT staff to spend substantial time on patching activities. Outsourcing can help reduce these costs, allowing organisations to focus their resources on more strategic initiatives. Outsourcing patch management can also provide more comprehensive and timely patching.
