IT Consulting Services

You stop spending evenings on questions that are somebody else’s day job. We take the technical decision away as a research problem and hand it back as a small number of options with the trade-offs made explicit, leaving you the commercial call.

It is cheaper for a decision and more expensive for continuous work. A permanent architect makes sense once the questions never stop. For a one-off — a migration, a rebuild, a vendor choice — the engagement ends, and no salary or severance is attached to it.

Yes. One consultant owns the engagement and stays your route in, rather than a rotating queue. They pull in whoever else is needed behind them, so you are never the person forwarding context between specialists.

Yes, and it is a common reason companies call. We review access control, data handling, dependencies and deployment, then rank the remediation list by what each item would cost you. Findings are usually unglamorous — an unpatched library, an admin account nobody revoked — which is why they get exploited.

Either. Some clients take the roadmap and run it themselves; others ask us to deliver it. We keep the two separate deliberately, and we will tell you when a recommendation does not need us at all.

Then the shortest route is usually people rather than advice. We can place engineers alongside your team under your management, or take a defined slice of the roadmap off their plate. We will say which fits — including when neither does.

Yes. One person fronts the engagement, but the cloud, security, data, QA and mobile specialists behind them are pulled in where needed. You are not paying a generalist to learn your problem on your budget.

A focused review of one system is typically a couple of weeks. A strategy covering a whole estate takes longer, because most of the time goes into reading systems and interviewing the people who run them. The boundary and the end date are agreed up front.

It is scoped and quoted per engagement, driven by how many systems are in scope and how deep the review goes. The scoping call is free, and it is usually enough for us to say whether the work is worth commissioning.

That is the normal case. We interview your engineers, read what your suppliers have built, and write findings you can share with them. Replacing an incumbent is never a precondition, and we say so when one is doing a good job.

By finding the single points of failure before they find you: deployments that cannot be rolled back, backups nobody has restored from, a dependency with one maintainer, a certificate with no owner. You get the list ranked by blast radius.

Delivery is rarely slow because of tooling. We look at how work enters the team, how it is estimated, where it waits, and how much of the week goes to interruptions — then change the two or three things causing most of the delay.
