Automation & Strategy

Overview

Technology decisions are often made in a hurry, after something breaks or when a vendor recommends an upgrade. A plan lets you make those decisions deliberately, with a clear budget and priorities.

We assess your current environment, learn where the business is heading, and build a roadmap with priorities, timelines, and estimated costs. Then we revisit it regularly as things change.

Who it's forBusiness owners planning growth, a move, or an acquisition, and anyone who wants an independent view before committing to a major technology purchase.

Problems this solves

  • Technology decisions get made in a hurry, during emergencies.
  • Vendors keep recommending upgrades and you can't tell what's necessary.
  • There's no technology line in the budget until something breaks.
  • You're planning to grow, hire, or move, and technology is an afterthought.

Capabilities and deliverables

  • Technology assessments and current-state documentation
  • Multi-year roadmaps and budget planning
  • Software and vendor evaluation
  • Planning for growth, new offices, and restructuring
  • Technology review when acquiring or merging with another business
  • Regular strategy reviews
  • A second opinion on quotes and proposals from other vendors

What a technology plan includes

  • Current-state assessment

    Accounts, devices, network, software, security, backups, vendors, and costs, documented in one place.

  • Risks and opportunities

    What's most likely to cause downtime or a security incident, and where technology could save time.

  • Prioritized roadmap

    Recommendations ordered by risk and value, with realistic timelines over the next one to three years.

  • Budget planning

    Expected costs for licensing, replacements, projects, and ongoing services, so technology spending is planned.

  • Vendor evaluation

    Independent review of software, services, and proposals, with the questions to ask before you sign.

  • Regular reviews

    The plan is revisited as your business changes, so it stays useful rather than sitting in a drawer.

  • A large vendor proposal

    An independent review of what's necessary and what isn't.

What you can expect

  • Confident decisions

    Options explained in business terms, with clear trade-offs.

  • Predictable spending

    Technology costs planned instead of reacted to.

  • Alignment

    Technology that supports your goals rather than limiting them.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need managed IT to get consulting?

No. Consulting can be a standalone project, such as an assessment or a second opinion on a proposal, or part of an ongoing relationship.

What does a technology roadmap include?

A summary of your current environment, the risks and opportunities we see, and prioritized recommendations with estimated timelines and costs.

Can you review a quote from another vendor?

Yes. We can review proposals for hardware, software, or services and explain what's necessary, what's optional, and what questions to ask.
