02 — IT consulting & strategy

Advice with no commission attached.

Independent guidance on what to build, buy, or retire. We are not reselling anyone's platform, so the recommendation you get is the one we would make if it were our own money.

Where consulting helps

Engagements
01 IT assessment & audit

A structured review of your systems, security posture, licensing, and risk — delivered as a written report with prioritised, costed recommendations you own.

02 Technology roadmap

A twelve to twenty-four month plan that sequences upgrades and projects around your budget and business calendar, instead of reacting to whatever fails next.

03 Vendor selection

Requirements defined, options shortlisted, demos run, and contracts reviewed — so you buy the tool that fits, at a price you can defend.

04 Project delivery

Migrations, office moves, system rollouts, and infrastructure refreshes run to a plan with a named owner and a defined finish line.

05 Fractional IT leadership

Board-level technology input without a full-time hire: budgeting, planning, risk reporting, and oversight of your existing providers.

06 Second opinions

An independent read on a quote, contract, or proposal you have been given. Often the cheapest hour a business spends.

How a consulting engagement runs

Process
  1. Scope

    A conversation to define the question, the constraints, and what a useful answer looks like.

  2. Discover

    Interviews, system review, and data gathering — enough to be confident, not so much it stalls.

  3. Recommend

    A written report with options, costs, trade-offs, and a clear recommendation. Presented, not just emailed.

  4. Support delivery

    We can hand the plan to your team, run it ourselves, or oversee whoever does. Your call.
