IT & Digital Transformation Consulting

IT and digital transformation consulting covers technology stack selection, software audits and a digital transformation roadmap, plus ongoing strategic technology leadership as CTO as a Service. VenusSoft offers this to teams that cannot yet justify a full-time CTO, or that want an independent read on decisions already made.

İSTANBUL / KOCAELİ

When you need an independent technical opinion

A startup is growing but cannot yet justify a full-time CTO on the payroll, while critical technology decisions still have to be made every week. To test one product decision quickly, software architecture and prototyping can provide the first evidence for the advisory roadmap.

A scale-up’s stack was shaped by whatever was needed at the time rather than a plan, and now maintaining it costs more than the business is growing. When the roadmap calls for a new system, custom software development can take over the implementation stage.

Or leadership is facing a build-versus-buy-versus-partner decision and needs a technical opinion from someone with no stake in the outcome.

How the process works

  1. Technical and organisational audit

    1-2 weeks

    Current stack, team structure and process are assessed from an outside, independent view. Where repeated operational load appears, AI and automation candidates are identified separately.

  2. Roadmap and prioritisation

    1 week

    Findings become a concrete, ordered action plan; what happens first becomes clear. If the sales channel is the priority, e-commerce consulting expands the roadmap around payment, shipping and conversion decisions.

  3. Ongoing advisory (CTO as a Service)

    Monthly

    Strategic support for technical decisions, hiring and vendor selection is provided at regular intervals.

  4. Quarterly review

    Every 3 months

    Progress against the roadmap is assessed and priorities are re-set against current reality.

Starting price

Request a Discovery Call

€3,000Monthly starting rate

VenusSoft does not sell fixed packages: every project is built as custom software, and because we bring our own product components into each one, scope varies from project to project. The figure here is the floor a project in this service typically starts at; the exact quote follows scope, after a discovery call. These euro figures are set for the European nearshore market this page addresses, independently of any Turkish-lira pricing shown elsewhere on this site.

These figures are starting thresholds valid as of 5 August 2026; current pricing is confirmed in your quote.

What moves this number

  • Scope

    The floor assumes the smallest useful version in which a single flow works end to end. Every further screen, user role and rule-bearing flow grows the design, build and test load together.

  • Integrations

    Connecting to a documented API and extracting data from a system that has been running for years are not the same job. This is the line that deviates most from an estimate, and the first one discovery pins down.

  • Timeline

    The same work does not cost the same on an ordinary schedule as it does compressed across a parallel team. Compression is not always possible either, and where it is, the cost lands on team size rather than on the calendar.

  • Continuity

    Going live is a handover, not an ending. Maintenance, monitoring, support and the next release are agreed up front; they are not folded into the project figure but stand as their own open line.

What we use, and why

  • Technology radar assessment

    Compares current and candidate technologies on maturity, ecosystem support and team fit.

  • Static code analysis

    Surfaces a codebase’s technical debt and risk points as measurable data, not a subjective impression.

  • Cloud cost analysis

    Shows exactly where infrastructure spend is going and where it can be optimised, in real numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is CTO as a Service?

It means bringing in senior technology judgement from outside, to make the technology decisions and steer the team, without employing a full-time CTO. Stack selection, an audit of the existing software and a digital transformation roadmap all sit inside that scope.

What do we actually get from the engagement?

An audit report, a written roadmap and regular advisory calls are all included; every document is yours to use independently.

How is this priced?

This service runs as a monthly advisory model; the monthly starting rate above is the floor for that model. Scope and call frequency shape the exact proposal, shared after a discovery call.

Can we end the engagement whenever we want?

Yes, within the terms of the contract, you can end the engagement at whichever point works for you.

Do you also implement the roadmap, or just write it?

You can implement the roadmap with your own team or another vendor; if you prefer, we can continue into implementation through our Custom Software Development service.
