Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deliverable from an IT strategy engagement?

A written 12-to-36-month IT roadmap covering systems, security posture, cloud strategy, vendor consolidation, budget projections and a prioritised quarterly action plan. It is written for a non-technical board to read in one sitting.

How long does an IT strategy engagement take?

Typically four to six weeks from kickoff to final readout. We run discovery workshops, technical audits and stakeholder interviews in parallel, then converge on the roadmap.

Do you help with technology budgeting?

Yes. The roadmap includes a fully-costed three-year budget projection split between run-rate, project capital and contingency, benchmarked against comparable UK SMEs.

Can you act as our virtual CIO on an ongoing basis?

Yes. After the initial strategy engagement, many clients retain us on a fractional CIO basis, typically one to two days per month, to chair vendor reviews, sign off architecture changes and represent IT at the board.

Will the roadmap lock us into your services?

No. The roadmap is yours and is deliberately written to be vendor-neutral. We will tell you which parts we can deliver and which are best handled by other specialists or your internal team.
