Every engagement is different. Every result is real. See how Gratus Group has helped companies save millions, build teams, and optimize their IT investments.
A rapidly scaling SaaS company needed 4 senior engineers (React, Node.js, DevOps, ML) in Q1. Their previous agency had charged $28,000 per hire and taken 6+ weeks per role.
Enrolled in AI Talent Partner at $7,500/month. Used AI-assisted screening to review every applicant across all 4 roles simultaneously. Dedicated recruiter managed candidate communication and submittal process.
All 4 roles filled within the quarter. Total cost: $22,500 (3 months). Compared to $112,000 through their previous agency — a savings of over $90,000. Average time to first candidates: 68 hours.
A large hospital system was overpaying on infrastructure, software, and managed services contracts. IT spend had grown year-over-year without corresponding business value. Internal IT had no bandwidth to audit and renegotiate.
Conducted a full IT contract and vendor audit. Identified 23 contracts with renegotiation opportunity. Led vendor negotiations and competitive bid processes across infrastructure, SaaS, and managed services categories.
$6M in annualized savings across 23 contracts. 37% total IT cost reduction. First savings realized within 90 days. Client redirected savings toward new patient experience technology investments.
A mid-sized manufacturer needed to build a digital operations platform but couldn't afford 6 US-based engineers at market rates. Offshore attempts in previous years had failed due to time zone issues and communication problems.
Proposed a nearshore solution with a dedicated team in Colombia — 2 hours off Eastern time. Team included 4 full-stack developers, 1 DevOps engineer, and 1 QA lead. All team members were English-fluent with 7+ years experience.
Full team productive within 30 days. 40% cost reduction vs. equivalent US team. Platform delivered on time and on budget. Client extended the engagement to include a mobile app build. Zero communication issues reported throughout the engagement.
A PE-backed SaaS company had accumulated years of technical debt that was slowing feature delivery to a crawl. Their CTO had departed. The board needed technical leadership immediately — but didn't want to spend 6 months hiring a permanent replacement.
Placed a fractional CTO 3 days per week. Immediately conducted technical audit, mapped the debt, and prioritized remediation. Rebuilt the engineering roadmap, reorganized the team structure, and implemented engineering standards.
Architecture rebuilt within 6 months. Team velocity tripled. Saved $280K compared to a full-time CTO hire. Company subsequently raised a successful Series B — with the fractional CTO presenting the technical strategy to investors.
