IT consulting for the systems you already run
We inventory what you actually run — servers, licences, the spreadsheet holding a process together — then tell you what to fix first, what to leave alone, and roughly what each will cost. Most of what we recommend reuses something you already own.
What IT consulting means here
Six things clients ask us for. Each one ends in a document or a change you can point at, not a conversation.
Technology planning
We write down what you run, what each piece costs, and what breaks. Then a two- or three-year order for replacing or keeping each one, with a budget attached to each step.
Security review
Accounts and access, backup and restore, patching, and what your vendors can reach. You get a ranked list of gaps, not a scored report nobody acts on.
Modernization roadmaps
Moving off an aging system is mostly sequencing: what moves first, what runs in parallel, and which data has to reconcile before you can switch. We plan that sequence and stay for the cutover.
Cloud migration planning
Which workloads move to AWS or Azure, which stay where they are, and what the monthly bill looks like afterwards. We size it before anyone commits to it.
Performance and cost review
When a system is slow or a cloud bill keeps climbing, we find where the time and the money go — queries, indexes, oversized instances, licences nobody uses.
Tool and vendor selection
We run the evaluation: requirements, a shortlist, demos scored against your actual workflows. The point is a decision you can still defend in a year.
How we work, in four sentences
We're a small firm. The person who scopes the work is the person who does it, which changes what we're willing to recommend.
Recommendations you can price
Every recommendation comes with an order, an owner and a rough cost. A roadmap you can't budget is a document, not a plan.
We'll tell you not to buy something
Often the fix is a configuration change or a licence you already pay for. We'd rather say that than sell you a project.
Risks named early
Single points of failure, support contracts about to expire, one person who is the only one who knows how something works. We write those down in week one, because they're the expensive ones.
The people who assess it build it
No handoff from whoever sold the work to a delivery team who weren't in the room. There are four of us; you'll meet all of them.
How an engagement runs
The same four steps whether the job is two weeks or two years. We stay for the fourth.
- 01
Assessment
We sit with the people doing the work and read what the systems actually report — not what the process diagram says happens.
- 02
Plan
A written sequence: what changes, in what order, who owns each piece, what it costs. You can hand it to another firm if you'd rather.
- 03
Delivery
We build it, or we advise the team you already have while they build it. Short cycles, so you can change your mind while that's still cheap.
- 04
Support
We stay on after go-live. Hypercare first, then ongoing support, 24/7 across the time zones you operate in.
What we bring, and what we can't show you
Where the experience came from
Between us the team has worked in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, construction and e-commerce. Most of it was earned inside those organizations, as employees, before this firm existed — and we say so rather than letting it read as company past performance.
ITIL, COBIT and agile
Which one you get depends on who has to sign the work off. Regulated clients usually want the governance; a five-person product team almost never does, and forcing it on them wastes their money.
Partner status you can look up
We're a listed Salesforce Consulting Partner and a certified Zendesk partner. Both are somebody else's record, not ours — the links to check them are on our about page.
No case studies on this site
We haven't published client names, testimonials or outcome figures, and we're not going to invent any. What we can offer instead is four named people you can question directly about work you care about.
Tell us what's actually broken
The system everyone complains about, the roadmap nobody believes, or a renewal you're not sure you should sign. We'll tell you what we'd do first and roughly what it costs.
