CTO as a service in Singapore

Companies that run the region from Singapore need one technology direction, and senior technology leaders are hard to hire. Ubisar gives you a senior lead who acts as your CTO, sets your technology and AI strategy and answers to your board, with a team to deliver the plan.

The engagement

Why companies in Singapore work with Ubisar

A senior CTO who understands your business, backed by a team that delivers.

We understand the business first.

Our team has run operations, finance and sales, and invested in companies. So we start from where your business is going, and plan the AI, software and data to get there.

A CTO and a whole team.

You get a senior leader who joins your leadership team, sets the direction and owns the result. Behind them, our AI, software and data specialists build and run the systems.

Flexible, month to month, no lock-in.

The engagement runs monthly, and you can end it at any time without penalty. Scale it up when there is more to do and down when there is less. You pay for the work of a CTO and a team, not for a full-time hire.

A technology partner, month after month.

We stay as your business grows. Over time, we get to know your company deeply, so each decision builds on the last. Your technology grows with the business.

Frequently asked questions

What is CTO as a service in Singapore?+

CTO as a service gives a company senior technology leadership without a full-time CTO hire, and Ubisar provides it through our AI, Software & Data Implementation Service. A senior Ubisar leader joins your management team, sets your technology and AI strategy and decides where the budget goes. Ubisar leads your in-house team, agencies and vendors against one plan, and keeps your board up to date. Our AI, software and data specialists deliver the plan, so strategy turns into results.

How is Ubisar different from IMDA's CTO-as-a-Service programme?+

IMDA's CTO-as-a-Service programme and Ubisar do different jobs, and many companies can use both. IMDA's programme helps SMEs assess their digital readiness, choose from pre-approved digital solutions and get advice from digital consultants. Ubisar gives you an ongoing technology leader who sets your strategy across all your systems, leads the work and answers for the results, month after month. Our team then delivers the plan, so one leader and one team take you from decision to result.

Can a CTO as a service set one technology direction across Southeast Asia?+

Yes. For companies that run Southeast Asia from Singapore, Ubisar's CTO sets one technology and AI strategy for every market. Ubisar decides what the region shares, such as the core platform, customer records and group reporting, and where each country keeps its own way of selling or serving customers. So new markets open faster, head office sees one view of the business, and each country team knows its priorities.

Can a CTO as a service give our board a technology and AI plan?+

Yes. Ubisar's CTO writes a technology and AI plan your board can read in one sitting and sign off. It sets out the priorities for the next one to three years, what each one costs and what it changes for revenue, margin or speed to market. Ubisar then leads the plan, reports progress to the board and updates it as the business changes.

We already use AI every day. How does a CTO help us get more from it?+

Ubisar's fractional CTO turns everyday AI use into a clear AI plan for your company. Ubisar reviews how your teams use AI today, then picks the few areas where it can change results, such as sales, customer service or finance. Each area gets a goal, an owner and a budget, and our team builds AI into the systems your people already use. Every month, Ubisar reports what each one delivers, so you scale what works and stop what does not.

Should we build our own technology team in Singapore, or work with partners?+

Ubisar's CTO helps you decide which capabilities to own in-house and which to source from partners. Senior technology and data roles are hard and costly to fill in Singapore, so this choice shapes your budget and your speed. We keep what is core to your business close, and source the rest where it is faster or more cost-effective. You get a clear plan for the team you need, and our specialists cover the roles you choose not to hire.

How is CTO as a service different from a full-time CTO or a consultant in Singapore?+

Ubisar's CTO leads your technology month to month and answers for the results, with a team behind them that delivers the plan. A full-time CTO is one senior hire, and in Singapore that hire is hard to find and costly to keep. A consultant usually advises on one project, then hands back a report. CTO as a service suits companies that need senior leadership now, with the people to deliver it.

What does CTO as a service in Singapore cost?+

Ubisar's pricing starts from $4,000/month (about SGD 5,200), month-to-month, cancel anytime. That is the starting point for a lead and a team. The actual retainer depends on how complex your systems are, how many are in flight at once and what your company requires. You will find the detail on our pricing page, or reach out for an initial discussion and we will provide a quote for your company in Singapore.
