Fit
You probably need this if
- IT spend has grown steadily and no single person can explain the increase
- You're paying for licences and nobody is certain how many are actually in use
- Contracts auto-renewed because the notice period passed before anyone looked
- Several suppliers appear to be doing overlapping work
- Somebody has proposed cutting IT costs by a percentage rather than by a decision
Scope
What the audit covers
Full spend inventory
Every recurring line (licences, hosting, connectivity, support, maintenance) with owner, renewal date and notice period.
Utilisation review
What is actually being used versus what is being paid for. Unused seats and forgotten environments are usually the fastest win.
Supplier rationalisation
Where two vendors are doing one job, and what consolidating would genuinely save against what it would cost to move.
Contract and renewal position
Which agreements are negotiable, when, and what leverage you actually hold.
Prioritised savings plan
Ranked by value against effort and risk, with the things you should NOT cut stated explicitly. That list matters as much as the savings.
Process
How it runs
Every engagement starts the same way, whichever service you need.
A conversation
You tell us what's going on. We ask what you're running, what it costs and where it hurts, and we tell you plainly whether we can help. No sales deck.
Findings & proposal
A written view of priorities, sequencing and cost, with the trade-offs stated plainly. You'll know what we'd do first and why.
Execution & oversight
We stay accountable for delivery: vendor governance, architecture decisions and the board-level reporting that keeps technology on the agenda.
Independence
We're nobody's reseller
We take no licence margin on SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, Sage or any CRM. There's no partner relationship to protect and no rebate behind the recommendation, so when we tell you which option to take, the recommendation is the whole business case. We have also made the expensive mistakes already (vendor lock-in, an integration that looked fine in the demo, a migration that ran long) on our own balance sheet rather than yours.
