Stage 1 · Inventory
Systems, licences and who uses them.
Our services, in detail
Four services for small and mid-sized organisations, independent of every vendor.
Program 01 · What you actually run
Technology review
Most organisations cannot say precisely what they are paying for. Systems accumulate, licences outlive the people assigned them, and two tools end up doing the same job. A review produces one list with costs and renewal dates, which is usually the first time anyone has seen it whole.
Stage 2 · Costs
What each one actually costs annually.
Stage 3 · Overlap
Where two tools do one job.
Stage 4 · Report
Short, with renewal dates flagged.
Stage 1 · Requirements
Written with the people who will use it.
Stage 2 · Longlist
Who could plausibly meet them.
Stage 3 · Scored demos
Against your script, not theirs.
Stage 4 · Recommendation
With the reasoning and the trade-offs.
Program 02 · Requirements before demos
System selection
Selections go wrong when the demonstration comes before the requirements, because every product looks convincing when the vendor chooses the script. We write the requirements with your team, score vendors against them, and sit on your side of the table during demonstrations.
Program 03 · Sequenced, with the risks named
Cloud migration planning
Migrations fail on sequencing and on the things nobody mapped — a legacy integration, a shared mailbox, a file path hard-coded into something. We plan the order, cost it realistically including the overlap period where you pay twice, and write a rollback plan for each stage.
Stage 1 · Dependencies
Including the undocumented ones.
Stage 2 · Sequence
What moves first, and why.
Stage 3 · Real costs
Including running both in parallel.
Stage 4 · Rollback
A plan for each stage, written down.
Stage 1 · Records
What data, where, and why.
Stage 2 · Retention
A schedule people can follow.
Stage 3 · Suppliers
Who processes it and under what terms.
Stage 4 · Incident plan
Rehearsed, with roles named.
Program 04 · Practical, not legal
Data protection support
The operational half of data protection: knowing what personal data you hold and where, how long you keep it, which suppliers process it and on what terms, and what you would actually do in the first hour of a breach. Legal questions and regulatory correspondence belong with a solicitor or the ICO.
Choosing a system?
A free first call on the decision, from someone who earns nothing from the outcome.
