IT Consulting & Advisory
Independent advice for the decisions that are expensive to get wrong: what to build versus buy, how to structure the team, which platform to standardize on, and how to sequence the work. We stay through delivery so the strategy does not die in a slide deck.
What you get out of it
What's covered
The building blocks we bring. Most engagements use a subset, scoped to what you actually need.
Technology strategy & roadmap
A 12–24 month plan linking business objectives to initiatives, sequenced by value, risk, and dependency.
Architecture review
An independent assessment of a proposed or current architecture against cost, scalability, security, and operability.
Vendor & platform selection
Requirements definition, structured RFP, weighted scoring, and reference checks, run without vendor bias.
IT operating model
Team structure, roles, RACI, and governance for organizations moving from ad hoc IT to a run function.
Due diligence
Technical due diligence for investors and acquirers: architecture, team, delivery health, security, and key risks.
Fractional leadership
Interim CTO or head of engineering support for a defined period while you hire or restructure.
