Why it matters
Straight answers before you commit budget.
Large technology decisions are usually made with information supplied by the people selling the technology. An independent view before the money is committed is the cheapest part of any project.

How we run it
Five stages, and you always know which one you are in
Discover
We sit with the people who do the work and agree what success looks like in numbers. You leave with a written scope and a price, and it costs you nothing.
Design
Signed off before anything is built, so nothing surprises you halfway through.
Build
Short cycles with working software in front of you, which you steer.
Deploy
Migration, training and a go live plan with a rollback. We are on site for the first days.
Support and improve
Agreed response times and a quarterly review of what to improve next.
