Consulting

Sometimes the useful thing is not a project but an afternoon with somebody who has seen the problem before. We review networks, server estates, hosting arrangements and proposed software builds, and write down what we find.

We will say when we think a supplier is charging you for the wrong thing, including when that supplier would otherwise have been us.

A review that ends in something written down

What you get

Network and infrastructure review

Topology, segmentation, resilience and the single points of failure nobody has looked at since installation.

Software proposal review

Reading a quote or a specification before you sign it, and telling you what is missing from it.

Due diligence

Assessing a system you are about to inherit, acquire or take responsibility for.

Written findings

You get a document with findings and priorities, not a conversation you have to remember.

Questions

Will you review work done by another supplier?

Yes, and we will be factual about it. The point of a review is to be useful, not to win the follow-on work.

Do we have to become a customer afterwards?

No. The review can end with the findings. If you want us to help with some of them afterwards, we can, but that is a separate decision.

Can you review something before we buy it?

Yes. Send us the proposal, specification or architecture before you commit. We will tell you what looks sensible, what is missing and what we would question.

Tell us what needs looking after.

Describe what is not being handled today and we will tell you what it takes, what it costs, and whether we are the right people for it.
