IT consulting
Strategic IT advice from people who've done it.
No account managers. No junior consultants. You work directly with senior advisors who've led IT functions and managed enterprise risk.
Senior-level advisory for South African regulated businesses. We understand the POPIA landscape, CIPC obligations, and local cloud considerations, and speak plainly about risk.
30 minutes, free of charge. We respond within one business day.

- Vendor-neutralThe right solution, not the best-marketed one.

Where we advise
Focused on the decisions that matter most to business leaders, not IT teams.
- 01
IT strategy and roadmapping
Align your technology investment with your three to five year business objectives. We translate board-level ambition into an executable IT roadmap: technology gap analysis, budget modelling and prioritisation, and board-level reporting templates.
- 02
Security posture assessment
A strategic view of your cybersecurity maturity, not just a compliance checklist. We give leadership an honest picture of risk exposure: an executive risk dashboard, security investment prioritisation, and regulatory alignment (ISO 27001, CIS Controls).
- 03
Cloud migration advisory
Independent guidance on cloud strategy: Azure, AWS, or hybrid. We scope migration projects, manage vendor selection, and oversee delivery, with a cloud readiness assessment, vendor-neutral architecture advice and migration risk management.
- 04
Vendor selection and management
We run procurement processes and evaluate technology vendors on your behalf, so you get the right solution, not the best-marketed one: RFP development and scoring, contract negotiation support, and ongoing vendor performance review.
Fixed scope, fixed fee
Project
Defined deliverable, timeline, and outcome. Ideal for migrations, audits, vendor selection processes, or strategy reviews.
Ideal for one-off initiatives.
Ongoing advisory
Retainer
Monthly access to senior IT advisors for strategic guidance, escalations, and decision support. Think of us as your on-call IT board member.
Ideal for continuous advisory.
Part-time CTO, full-time value
Fractional CTO
An experienced technology leader embedded in your business: attending leadership meetings, owning IT strategy, and holding vendors to account.
Ideal for growing businesses.
Consulting on AI specifically
Most consulting engagements now touch AI strategy. Where AI is the centre of the conversation, we run a dedicated engagement model: the same senior-led approach, with AI-specific subject matter.
