IT Consultancy
Architecture reviews, cloud strategy, security assessments and technical due diligence for teams making expensive, hard-to-reverse decisions.
Sound familiar?
These are the situations clients describe on the first call before we talk about technology at all.
- You are about to sign a large vendor contract and have no way to evaluate it.
- Cloud spend keeps climbing and nobody can explain which service is responsible.
- The system your last developer built is slow, fragile and undocumented.
- You are raising or acquiring and need an independent read on the technology.
What you get
Every it consultancy engagement ships with all of this. It is in the contract, not the sales conversation.
- Architecture and codebase assessment report
- Prioritised risk register with effort estimates
- Cloud cost analysis and optimisation plan
- Security review against OWASP guidance
- Technology roadmap with sequencing
- Executive briefing session

IT Consultancy questions
The ones that come up on nearly every it consultancy call.
That is most of this work. We assess what exists, document what we find and tell you plainly what is worth keeping - including when the honest answer is that a rebuild costs less than the repairs.
No. Assessments are fixed-fee and stand alone. We have told clients to keep their current vendor and fix three specific things. The report is yours whether or not you engage us afterwards.
Always, before any code or infrastructure access. Due diligence work in particular runs under a mutual NDA from first contact.
