What we do
Judgment first. Delivery only if the judgment says build.
The advisory work is bounded and ends in a document. The delivery work follows when building is the right answer — and the assessment is allowed to conclude that it is not.
Bought as judgment
One senior person, a fixed fee and a defined end date.
Assessment
Independent program assessment
An outside read of a program that cannot be verified from inside it. We go through the artifacts and the people, separate the real blockers from the reported ones, and hand over a re-baseline that can be acted on. Four to six weeks, fixed fee, and the document belongs to the client either way.
Advisory
Decision advisory
Build versus buy, platform and vendor selection, continue or re-scope, re-compete an integrator or stay with them. There is no software to license here and nothing gained if the answer is “build”, which is the only reason this view is worth more than the one already in the room.
Leadership
Fractional technology leadership
Two or three days a week for a few months, running a program the way a permanent technology director would — governance, vendor management, executive reporting, and the decisions that keep stalling. For organizations that need that seniority on one program and cannot justify it on the payroll.
Where it starts
How an engagement opens
A conversation, then a short written scope with a fee and an end date. No discovery phase that quietly becomes the engagement, and no proposal that depends on a build being agreed later.
Bought as delivery
Built to be handed over — documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer are part of the work, not an extra.
Platforms
Custom ERP and business platforms
Unified systems across finance, operations, inventory, customer and sales data, built around existing workflows rather than forcing the business through a template. Where an off-the-shelf product fits better, that is what gets recommended.
Data
Integration and master data
Salesforce, ERP, finance and operational systems joined into one reliable flow of data, with the master data governance that keeps it holding after go-live. Integration programs fail on master data far more often than on interfaces.
Cloud
Cloud migration and architecture
AWS and Azure migration, cloud-native architecture and cost optimization for organizations moving off on-premise infrastructure — or off spreadsheets. Sized for what actually runs, not for the demo.
Operations
Managed cloud operations
Monitoring and alerting, patching, backup and recovery, capacity and cost management against a defined availability commitment — so a platform has an owner after launch rather than a warranty period and a phone number.
Applications
Web and mobile applications
Customer portals, internal systems and mobile applications on modern cloud infrastructure, built to run reliably for years rather than to demo well for an hour.
AI
AI on AWS
Managed AWS AI services applied to operational problems — document processing, intelligent search, forecasting and summarization — assessed for where they pay for themselves and where they do not. We integrate and operate managed services; we do not train custom models.
Start with the question, not the scope.
If you are not sure which of these you need, that is usually a sign the first conversation is the assessment.
