## Working with Wavect in Linz

The City of Linz describes its economic transition as “from steel to digital”: established industry, startups, research, and digital companies working in the same region. That makes Linz different from a generic SaaS landing page.

When software touches machines, production data, legacy systems, or physical operations, architecture decisions carry operational consequences. The job is not to add another tool. It is to decide where ownership sits, how systems fail safely, and which interfaces must remain maintainable after the first vendor leaves.

That is the CTO layer we provide. We do not claim a Linz office or automatic industry knowledge. We start with your system, your operators, and the constraints already on the floor.

// LOCAL FIT

## Two Linz situations where fractional technical leadership fits

The shared problem is a digital product with consequences outside the browser.

### Software now touches operations or machines

A connected product, data platform, internal tool, or customer portal depends on physical systems and legacy interfaces. Someone must own reliability, security, integration, and the cost of change.

### An established company has several technology suppliers

Each vendor owns its package, but nobody owns the total system or handover. We create the architecture and decision layer above the contracts.

// FIRST 30 DAYS

## The first 30 days on a Linz industrial software engagement

Before changing the stack, we map how software failure reaches the operation.

1. **Trace systems and operational dependencies** - Map machines, data flows, integrations, vendors, access, failure modes, and the people who currently keep the system alive.
2. **Prioritize production risk** - Separate real operational and security risk from architecture preferences and vendor sales pressure.
3. **Create a delivery ownership model** - Set interface owners, acceptance evidence, release gates, incident paths, and a handover requirement for every supplier.

// ROLE CHECK

## For Linz products, who owns what?

The [Fractional CTO](/services/fractional-cto/) owns architecture, engineering, suppliers, and production. The [Fractional CPO Linz](/services/fractional-cpo-linz/) owns customer problems, prioritization, and the product roadmap. Use a [Fractional CTPO](/services/fractional-ctpo/) when the physical and digital product decisions need one owner.

// SOURCES

## What we use for Linz context

We use these sources for local context. They do not imply a partnership, endorsement, office, or client relationship.

## Fractional CTO Linz: local questions

For software that cannot ignore the operation around it.

### Will you come to the factory or operating site?

When seeing the process, machine boundary, or supplier interface changes the technical decision, yes. We scope that visit as a paid on-site add-on. Routine reviews, decision logs, and delivery leadership remain remote.

### Are you replacing our internal IT or automation team?

No. We provide product-engineering leadership and system-level accountability. Internal IT, operations, automation engineers, and suppliers keep their domain ownership. We make the boundaries and decisions explicit.
