McBirney Terrace provides fractional CTO services to mid-market businesses — strategic technology leadership, IT transformation, and board-level technology governance, scaled to what you actually need.
Each service line can stand alone or combine as the business evolves. Most clients start with IT Transformation, then move to a retained Fractional CTO arrangement.

You are growing. Technology decisions are getting harder. The gap between what your IT environment can do and what the business needs is widening.
If you're not sure which service line fits, the starting conversation is free. Most clients begin with an IT Transformation engagement to set the foundation in place.
A fractional arrangement suits a specific situation — where the business needs senior technology leadership, but the volume of strategic work doesn't yet justify a full-time executive role. It sits alongside whatever else the business has in place.
The engagement scales with demand. More intensive during a transformation or a significant technology decision. Lighter when operations are stable. Board-level only when governance is the priority. The cost adjusts; the access to senior capability doesn't.
It's also a structure with a clean exit built in. No redundancy risk, no notice period disruption. When the work is done, the engagement ends — or continues at a lighter cadence. The business stays in control of what it needs.
