Technology consulting should end with a decision, not another document for the drawer. So our IT consulting ends with you knowing what to build, what to buy, what to drop and what to invest in. And understanding why.
We don’t sell licences, and we’re not an agency that needs to turn every problem into a new project. We look for the most sensible route to the result. Sometimes that’s new software, sometimes changing a process is enough. And sometimes we’ll recommend doing nothing at all.
What we help with
Technology decisions have a long reach. A badly chosen system can hold you back for years. We mostly help with these questions:
- Digital strategy. Where your company should head technologically, and in what order to get there.
- Technology decisions. Build custom or buy off the shelf? Keep the old system or replace it?
- Product leadership. What a digital product should do, what matters now and what can wait.
- Supplier management. Selection, comparing offers and keeping an eye on what a supplier actually delivers.
If you need someone to look after technology decisions long term, take a look at the fractional CTO service.
You talk to the people who then do the work
With us, the advice comes from the same people who then design the solution and write the code.
That has a practical upshot: our recommendations take into account how things really get built and run. We don’t advise from behind a desk. We know what developing a web application involves, what maintenance costs and where projects tend to get stuck.
How consulting works
We start by letting you explain what’s bothering you. You don’t need a finished brief or to know what kind of solution you’re after. That’s our job.
Then we look at how your company really works. Which systems you use, where time gets lost, what people work around in Excel. Only then do we propose options. Usually more than one, with the benefits, risks and costs clearly set out.
The decision is always yours. We make sure you make it with all the facts.
When to get in touch
People come to us for consulting at similar moments. The company has grown and the systems can’t keep up. A supplier is proposing a big project and you don’t know whether it’s really needed. An old system is on its last legs and nobody knows what should replace it. Or you’re about to invest in a digital product and want to be sure you’re building the right thing.
The same rule applies in every case: a decision is cheaper to get right at the start than to fix after a year of development.
Who it’s for
We consult for small businesses that have no IT department and need someone they can trust. For mid-sized companies growing faster than their systems. For enterprises that need an independent view from outside.
The scope follows what you really need, not the size of your company. It can be one consultation or a long-term working relationship.
What you get from us
A clear recommendation you understand. Not a slide deck full of acronyms. If you decide to go ahead, we can do the work, or help you choose and manage another supplier. The documentation and everything we create for you belongs to you.
