Service 16
IT consultancy
Independent advice, audits and project oversight.
Advice from a company with no reseller quota and no product to place. Audits, roadmaps, procurement support and oversight of work delivered by others.
When to call us
- A major decision — replacement, migration or supplier change
- Quotes that can't be compared meaningfully
- A project running over, or a supplier who can't be held to account
- No internal technical capability at decision level
- Systems that have grown without a plan
Engagement types
- Audit
Documented assessment of infrastructure, licensing, security and risk.
- Roadmap
Prioritised plan with dependencies and sequencing.
- Procurement support
Requirement definition, tender evaluation, technical comparison.
- Project oversight
Technical assurance on work delivered by others.
- Ongoing advisory
Retained technical input at management level.
Technical detail
- Infrastructure, network, cloud and licensing assessment
- Supplier and contract review, including lock-in and exit position
- Cost analysis across licensing, hosting, connectivity and support
- Risk assessment covering availability, recovery and security posture
- Written deliverables — findings, options with trade-offs, and a recommendation with reasoning
- Independence is structural: we hold no partner tiers or vendor quotas, so a recommendation to change nothing is available to us
Common questions
Will you recommend your own services?
Where we're the right fit, and we'll say so explicitly. Audits regularly conclude that existing arrangements should stay.
Can you assess another supplier's work?
Yes. Technical assurance is a common engagement.
What do we get?
A written assessment with findings, options and a reasoned recommendation.
How long does an audit take?
Depends on estate size. We'll scope it before starting.
