Align your technology roadmap with your business goals. We help you plan, prioritize and execute IT initiatives that create measurable impact and long-term value.
Talk to Our ConsultantsWe've helped 150+ companies avoid $50M+ in wasted IT spending through strategic technology decisions aligned with real business goals. Our consultants have led IT transformation at enterprise companies and fast-growing startups—they know what actually works.
Most IT roadmaps collect dust after the consultant leaves. Ours get implemented because we design for your constraints— budget, team capabilities, and existing technical debt. We stay involved to guide execution, not just deliver a PDF and disappear.
Your IT team is drowning in support tickets, security patches, and vendor management. We help you shift from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy. Optimize costs, improve delivery speed, and free up 30-40% of IT capacity for innovation projects.
Traditional IT consultants are great at PowerPoint decks but weak on execution. They recommend systems they've never built.
Because we're also software engineers, we give advice grounded in reality—we know what's actually feasible, what integrations
are painful, and what technologies are overhyped. Our consultants have built the systems they recommend.
Result: 87% of our IT consulting clients engage us for implementation, because our recommendations are practical, not theoretical.
Compare that to Big 4 firms where recommendations sit on shelves because they're impossible to execute with existing teams and budgets.

How organizations typically engage us and the outcomes they achieve

We participate in board meetings, guide technology strategy, mentor internal IT teams, and make critical build-vs-buy decisions. Ideal for Series A-C startups or mid-market companies without technical executives.
Typical Engagement: 10-20 hours/month retainer for 6-12 monthsFull-scope cloud migration strategy: assess current infrastructure, design target architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), build business case, create phased migration plan, and guide execution. We help you avoid $100K+ mistakes like lift-and-shift without optimization or over-architecting for scale you don't need.
Typical Engagement: 3-6 month project with 2-3 consultantsPre-acquisition technical assessment for private equity firms, corporate development teams, and investors. We evaluate codebase quality, technical debt, scalability, security posture, IP ownership, and team capabilities. Deliver detailed reports highlighting risks (integration complexity, hidden costs) and opportunities (cost synergies, tech stack consolidation).
Typical Engagement: 2-4 weeks with 2-3 senior consultantsComprehensive technology roadmap covering applications, data, infrastructure, security, and governance. We interview stakeholders, document current state, identify pain points, design target architecture, and create prioritized 12-36 month implementation plan with cost estimates. Unlike Big 4 firms that deliver 200-page PDFs that sit on shelves, our roadmaps are actionable because we stay involved during execution.
Typical Engagement: 3-4 months with 2-4 consultantsStrategic approach to replace 10-20 year old systems without business disruption. We assess legacy systems, identify critical functionality, design modern replacement architecture, and create phased migration strategy (strangler pattern, big-bang, or hybrid). Help you decide: replatform, refactor, or rebuild from scratch.
Typical Engagement: 2-4 months planning + optional implementation oversightComprehensive IT spend analysis and optimization: cloud rightsizing, SaaS rationalization, vendor renegotiation, process automation, and service optimization.

Want a tailored consulting proposal? We'll craft it just for you!
Big 4 firms are great at strategy documents and compliance, but weak on execution. Their consultants are often
fresh MBAs who've never built software. We're software engineers who became consultants—we've built the systems
we recommend. Our advice is grounded in real-world implementation experience, not theoretical frameworks.
Pricing: Big 4 charge $300-$600/hour. We charge $175-$400/hour with senior practitioners, not junior analysts.
Execution: 87% of our clients engage us for implementation after strategy. Big 4 recommendations often sit on shelves.
We work alongside your team, not replace them. Our role is to bring specialized expertise, external perspective,
and implementation experience your team may not have. We mentor your IT staff, transfer knowledge, and build internal
capabilities. After our engagement, your team should be more capable and confident.
Think of us as the experienced architect who guides your construction crew, not a demolition company that tears down
and rebuilds everything.
Advisory retainers: Ongoing, typically 6-12 months minimum
Strategic assessments: 4-8 weeks
Architecture & roadmaps: 2-4 months
Cloud migration strategy: 3-6 months (planning + oversight)
Due diligence: 2-4 weeks (fast turnaround for M&A)
We deliver incremental value throughout—weekly updates, bi-weekly presentations, not a big reveal at the end. Agile consulting, not waterfall.
Both. We're unique in that we can guide strategy AND execute implementation. Most clients start with consulting,
then engage our development teams for implementation (see Dedicated Teams and Custom Software services). This continuity
ensures the strategy we recommend actually gets built correctly.
Unlike pure consulting firms, we're accountable for implementation feasibility because we're the ones building it.
Good—that means you're engaged and thinking critically. Our job is to present options with tradeoffs, not dictate decisions.
We provide data-driven recommendations, but you own the final call. If we disagree, we'll tell you why and document the risks,
but ultimately respect your choice.
We've never had a client complaint about being too pushy. More often, clients appreciate our directness and willingness
to challenge conventional wisdom or vendor sales pitches.
Yes. Our consultants have deep experience in Healthcare (HIPAA, HL7, FHIR), FinTech (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, payment systems),
E-commerce (high-scale infrastructure, personalization), SaaS (multi-tenancy, usage-based billing), and Manufacturing (IoT, ERP integration).
We don't do surface-level "we work with everyone" consulting. We match you with consultants who've solved similar problems
in your industry and understand your regulatory environment.
Always included:
• Executive summary presentations (PowerPoint/Keynote)
• Detailed written reports (30-100 pages depending on scope)
• Architecture diagrams (Lucidchart, draw.io, or your preferred tool)
• Implementation roadmap with timelines and cost estimates (Excel/Google Sheets)
• Risk register and mitigation strategies
Optional add-ons: Interactive workshops, recorded video walkthroughs, ongoing Slack/Teams access for questions.
Absolutely. We offer "IT Strategy Sprint" engagements—1-2 week rapid assessments ($15,000-$30,000) where we evaluate
a specific problem area and deliver initial recommendations. This lets you test our approach before committing to
a full consulting engagement.
Many clients start with a sprint, validate our expertise, then expand into 3-6 month strategic projects.
