The situation
The problem IT consulting solves
Companies usually come to us when they need to choose a new system, assess the risks in the current environment, decide about moving to the cloud, or get a second opinion on a proposal that is hard to judge. The problem is rarely a lack of technology. It is that decisions get made on the strength of sales material.
We do not sell a particular vendor's licences, so the recommendation can be based only on what will actually work in your situation. Once the decision is made and someone has to implement and maintain it, the work continues naturally under IT management.
Reviewing software spend and vendors produced a measurable result in the Paxful story — part of our track record.
Method
How we work
Consulting is always scoped: we agree the question we are answering and the form the answer will take.
- 01BriefWhat the decision or worry is, who decides, and by when the answer is needed.
- 02Mapping and interviewsWe look at the systems and talk to the people who actually use them, not only to management.
- 03AnalysisRisks, dependencies, duplication, compliance requirements and cost centres put in writing.
- 04OptionsUsually two or three workable paths, with pros, cons and the effect on daily work.
- 05Recommendation and action planConcrete steps in order, including what you can do yourselves and what needs outside help.
Scope
What consulting covers
The output is written and still usable a year later, not verbal advice from a meeting.
System and process mapping
We map your IT infrastructure and processes, identifying risks and optimization opportunities.
Digital transformation
We advise on and lead the modernization of your business processes.
Technology selection
We help choose the technologies and tools that fit your company's needs.
IT budget optimization
We analyze IT costs and propose ways to use the budget more efficiently.
Compliance consulting
We advise on the technical side of GDPR, ISO 27001 and other regulatory requirements.
What you get
A written assessment, not a verbal opinion
A written assessment of the current IT environment with identified risks. A comparison of possible paths and a reasoned recommendation. An action plan with priorities in a logical order. Requirements and questions you can use to request comparable vendor proposals. Compliance observations, for example where GDPR and ISO 27001 touch your systems.
Questions
Frequently asked
What exactly does IT consulting include.
Mapping, analysis and a written recommendation with an action plan. Before starting we agree the specific question we are answering and how the result is delivered. If the work shows the real problem lies elsewhere, we say so immediately rather than in the final report.
Are you a reseller for any vendor.
Our recommendation does not depend on a single vendor. We work with the solutions that best fit the client's situation, including the systems you already run. Where we do have a partnership with a provider, we state it before giving the recommendation.
Can we use the result with a different implementer.
Yes. The analysis, requirements and action plan are handed over to you and remain usable regardless of who does the work. Several clients use the output precisely to request comparable proposals from the market.
How big does a company need to be to benefit.
A company of a few dozen employees already benefits when IT matters to operations. In a smaller environment the scope is simply narrower, for example one system choice or a security review.
Do you advise on GDPR and ISO 27001.
Yes, on the technical side. We look at how your systems, access rights, logging and data locations line up with those requirements and flag the gaps. Legal assessment and certification audits are done by a partner qualified for that.
How does a consulting engagement start.
It starts with one conversation where you describe the situation and we say whether and how we can help. Write via the form below or call +372 5699 0777. From that conversation we put together the brief and the scope.
First step
Describe your situation, we propose a plan
One conversation is enough for us to say whether and how we can help. From there we put together the brief and the scope, and if the gap turns out to be security or access rather than strategy, we say so and point you to IT security solutions or IAM solutions.
