    ESSEX, ENGLAND, August 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Co-Founders Stuart McClean and Alistair Sergeant are pleased to announce the launch of the Purple Virtual CTO service.

What is a CTO?

A Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is a key executive role inside an organisation whose responsibility is to understand the business drivers and align a technology to meet the business objectives. As technology advances are continually changing, it's imperative that a business leverages these changes to deliver true competitive advantage.

Whilst the CTO position is an important and key part to the business not every organisation warrants this as full time role. Two considerations why a business may not employ a full time CTO are, from a cost prospective can the business afford this overhead, or that to acquire the talent required to deliver the desired results there simply isn't a big enough requirement to keep the individual engaged long enough.

The Virtual CTO

Purple have created a new way for business to adopt a CTO into their organisation without the associated overheads and responsibilities normally associated with such a position.

The Purple virtual CTO service is a pool of highly experienced senior IT executives whose founders have worked closely with over the years and share the same values and passion for business and technology.

A virtual CTO will bridge the gap between the business vision and the technical decisions that need to be made to support it. By providing the services of multiple CTO's our clients can take advantage of a vast pool of knowledge and experience taken from years of working across many business sectors and disciplines.
