Solution Framework
A fractional CTO who has built enterprise multi-tenant SaaS brings proven patterns and avoids common pitfalls. We assess your specific requirements (security, performance, customization needs, scale targets), choose the right tenancy model for your situation, and create phased implementation plan that lets you win enterprise deals ASAP while building toward full multi-tenancy over time.

Implementation Timeline
Multi-tenancy Requirements Analysis
We analyze your enterprise customer requirements: data isolation needs, compliance requirements (SOC2, HIPAA, etc), customization depth, scale targets per tenant, and cost constraints. We review enterprise security questionnaires to identify gaps. This defines your multi-tenancy model requirements.
1-2 weeks
WealthTech & Investment optimizedArchitecture Design and Model Selection
We design multi-tenancy architecture choosing right model for your needs: shared database with row-level security (cost-efficient, complex security), schema-per-tenant (good isolation, moderate cost), or database-per-tenant (best isolation, higher cost). Often hybrid approach. We document security model, data isolation, and tenant lifecycle management.
2-3 weeks
WealthTech & Investment optimizedMVP Multi-tenancy Implementation
We implement minimum viable multi-tenancy sufficient to win first enterprise deals: tenant isolation, basic customization, security controls to pass questionnaires. This is pragmatic subset of full vision but unblocks enterprise sales within 8-12 weeks. You start closing enterprise deals while building toward full implementation.
