Senior technology consultants who actually do the work
We're not a staffing agency. We're not a reseller. We're the people who sit in the room, challenge assumptions, and help you make better technology decisions.
Our Mission
To help organisations run technology and AI as a disciplined business function – with clear architecture, robust suppliers, and confident people – instead of a messy collection of projects and tools.
Our Vision
Any SME or mid-market organisation in Europe can access top-tier technology consulting – strategist, architect, security and AI advisor – without hiring a large consultancy or building a big internal IT department.
Our Principles
Real consulting, not resourcing
We are not an agency selling CVs. We are brought in to think, challenge, design and govern.
Supplier-agnostic, but supplier-aware
We do not sell hosting, licences or managed services. We can look at your suppliers' work with a cold eye.
Strategy that survives reality
We design strategies and architectures that your existing teams and suppliers can actually deliver.
Foundations first, then AI
AI is powerful, but only when you have reasonable identity, data, security and collaboration foundations.
Right-sized for your organisation
We adapt the depth of documentation and governance to your size and maturity. No ten-volume methodologies.
Lean, focused and transparent
Small teams, clear scope, visible progress. We explain options, trade-offs and risks so you can decide.
