Advice you can act on, from people who will still be here to build it
Most advisory work ends at a slide deck. Ours ends at a sequenced plan — and if you want it built, the same team builds it.
IT strategy and digital transformation
Where the technology should go over the next two or three years, and what has to change first. Grounded in what your team can realistically run, not in a reference architecture.
What it covers
- Current-state review
- Target state and roadmap
- A prioritised sequence of work
Cloud advisory and migration
Whether to move, what to move, and in what order — including the workloads that are cheaper and safer left exactly where they are.
What it covers
- Workload-by-workload assessment
- Migration approach and risks
- Cost modelling before you commit
Solution and enterprise architecture
Solution and enterprise architecture for systems that have to work alongside everything already in place, and keep working as they grow.
What it covers
- Solution design and review
- Integration and data flow
- Standards your team can hold to
Data strategy and governance
Who owns which data, where it is allowed to go, and how that is enforced rather than merely written down.
What it covers
- Ownership and classification policy
- Retention and access rules
- UAE PDPL readiness review
Security and compliance advisory
A clear-eyed look at where you are exposed and what the regulator expects, with findings ranked by what would actually hurt.
What it covers
- Control and posture review
- Compliance gap analysis
- A ranked remediation plan
Advisory work sits under our Information Technology Consultants licence. Building what an assessment recommends sits under Services, and keeping it healthy afterwards under Application Support.
How an assessment works
Three stages, whichever area you start from.
Look at what is actually there
Systems, data, integrations and the people running them — including the parts nobody has documented.
Test it against where you are going
The gap between today and the stated goal is where the work is. We size it honestly, including the parts that are harder than they look.
Write it down so it can be acted on
Findings, options and a ranked sequence, in language your board and your engineers can both use.
What you take away
Documents your team can work from after we leave the room, not a presentation.
- Roadmap
- What to do and in what order, with the dependencies made explicit.
- Architecture document
- Target design, integration points and the decisions behind them, so the reasoning survives staff turnover.
- Findings report
- What we found, ranked by impact rather than by how easy it would be to fix.
- Prioritised actions
- The short list worth starting now, separated from the longer list that can wait.
Start with an assessment.
A 30-minute call first, at no cost, to work out whether an assessment is the right starting point at all.
