From Technology Assessment to a Trusted CTO Partner

The company's owners were about to acquire a software business and needed an independent, trustworthy view of the target's technology before the deal. A thorough technology assessment was carried out to support decision-making, providing a clear understanding of the technical situation, risks and development potential.

Matti Ilvonen of Rebooted Solutions executed the assessment with care, on schedule and on budget. The findings were presented to business leadership in an understandable form, and the assessment served as a key foundation for completing the acquisition. The quality of the work built strong trust that continued to hold after the deal closed.

When the owners stepped into operational leadership of the new company, technology and product development quickly moved to the centre. Competitive capability had to be built immediately, but in-house CTO-level expertise was missing at that moment. Rebooted was recognised as a partner that could be trusted from day one and could take full responsibility for the technology direction.

Rebooted was brought in as an external CTO partner. The collaboration quickly evolved into an ongoing CTO as a Service model, where technical leadership, AI thinking and business understanding reinforce each other. Rebooted acts as a reliable sparring partner and accountable stakeholder who helps turn decisions into action and keep development moving forward.

Over six months the work sharpened, focus clarified, and the product grew into a genuinely competitive offering with paying customers and a clear direction for continued development.

The partnership continues today, with Rebooted supporting the customer's growth and technological competitiveness from the acquisition through to ongoing development.
