IT leadership you cannot justify hiring full time.

Twelve years keeping other companies’ technology running, eight of them on a technology company’s executive leadership team. Hire that judgment by the day.

years keeping other companies’ technology running: 12
years on a technology company’s executive leadership team: 8

Most companies your size cannot hire this role.

A full-time technology director costs more than the problem, so the decisions land on whoever has time. Contracts renew because nobody read them. The person who set up the server left, and the password is in a drawer.

We take those decisions on for a few days a month, and we write down what we find so the next person does not start over.

Where this comes from

Two ways to start

One is ongoing and one ends in a document. Most people start with the second.

Fractional IT leadership

Someone senior owns your technology decisions.

We sit in your leadership meetings, own the technology decisions, and hold your vendors to what they sold you. You get documented processes, a budget you can defend, and a plan for what happens when the person who set something up leaves.

Best for: You are the most technical person in the room, and that worries you

Monthly, agreed up front

Assessment

A written, honest read on where your technology stands.

A fixed engagement that ends in a document you own. We look at your infrastructure, your backups and recovery, your documentation, and how your support performs against what you pay for. You can hand the result to anyone, including the vendor it grades.

Best for: You suspect you are paying for something you are not getting

A fixed engagement

What the document is

Four sections, each answering something you can act on. It grades what you already have, including the people you already pay, and it stays yours afterward.

Assessment

Finding

Infrastructure: What you are running, and what it is costing you to keep running.
Backups and recovery: Whether a restore has been tested, or only promised.
Documentation: What happens when the person who set something up leaves.
Support against contract: What you pay for, next to what you are getting.

Yours to keep. You can hand it to anyone, including the vendor it grades.

The findings column is blank because this division has not graded anyone yet. It shows where a finding lands, not one we have made.

Whether this is a fit

A good fit

You depend on technology and have nobody in-house to own it
You pay a vendor every month and cannot tell whether it is working
You need a technology budget you can defend to an owner or a board
Your documentation lives in one person's head

Not a good fit

You need hands on site to fix the printer
You want a monitoring contract and a helpdesk number
You want an assessment that agrees with a decision you already made
You want a title on an org chart rather than decisions made
