Brief:
An Arabic audio educational platform startup partnered with 99brightminds to enhance its technical capabilities and scale operations without the need for a full-time CTO. Facing persistent technical issues and a lack of IT expertise, the client required strategic leadership to optimize their platform, build the right development team, and accelerate product growth.

Through our “CTO as a Service”, we delivered expert guidance and hands-on support to transform the client’s technology infrastructure. By applying the following methodology:

• Full Technical Assessment: Conducted a full audit of the platform, identifying critical bugs and areas for performance optimization.
• Consultation & Strategy: Advised on technology decisions, development milestones, and best practices for team structure and project execution.
• Team Building: Recruited and structured a team of frontend and backend developers to align with the client’s growth objectives.
• Roadmap Development: Created a strategic plan with defined project milestones and deliverables to ensure steady progress and scalability.

Results:

• Faster Bug Resolution: The client achieved a significant reduction in critical application bugs within a few months, improving platform stability and user experience.
• Efficient Team Building: A fully operational development team was assembled in a couple of weeks, accelerating project delivery timelines.
• Cost Savings: By leveraging fractional CTO services, the client reduced leadership costs by 70% while maintaining high-level strategic oversight.
• Product Growth: The optimized platform saw a substantial growth in user engagement within the initial period post-launch improvements
