Free assessment
Find out whether the thing you want built should be built
Most bespoke software goes wrong at scoping rather than in the build, and the most valuable thing a first conversation can do is establish whether you should be commissioning software at all.
Who books this
- Somebody is exporting to Excel every week to produce a report a system should already give them
- Your CRM has become the wrong shape for how the business now works
- A process runs on a spreadsheet that only one person understands
- You have been quoted for a bespoke build and want a second read on the scope
What you get
- A written scope of the actual problem, separated from the solution somebody has already imagined
- A straight answer on build, buy, configure or leave alone
- The integration and data risks that would decide the cost, named before you commit
- An honest read on effort, and what would have to be true for it to be worth doing
What we need from you
- The job as it happens today, including the manual steps and the workarounds
- Which systems hold the data involved, and whether anyone has got data out of them before
- Who would use the thing, how often, and what happens now when it goes wrong
When not to book this
If you already have a specification you are happy with and want it priced, this is not that conversation and you should just send it to us. This exists for the far more common case where the requirement is still a frustration rather than a document.
Other assessments
- Microsoft estate review: Forty-five minutes and a written summary. What you are licensed for, what is switched on, where the gaps are, and what we would fix first.
- Security posture review: Most of what we find is not missing products. It is features you already pay for that were never switched on. Forty-five minutes to find out which.
- Cloud cost review: Non-production running around the clock, orphaned resources nobody decommissioned, and licences still assigned to leavers. Forty-five minutes to quantify yours.
- Cyber Essentials readiness check: The five control themes, checked against what you actually run. Most first-time failures are the same handful of things, and all of them are cheaper to fix before you apply.
- Application compatibility assessment: Migrations do not stall on operating systems, they stall on a handful of applications nobody can account for. This sorts your estate into the four groups that actually matter, before you commit budget to any of it.
- Virtual desktop review: Whether you are choosing between Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 or already running one and paying more than you expected, this is the same review: what the estate is doing, what it costs, and what it should cost.
- Copilot readiness check: Copilot does not grant anyone a single permission they did not already have. It just makes what they already had very easy to find, which is why the permissions work belongs before the licences and not after.
- Backup and recovery review: Everyone has a backup. Far fewer have a restore. The question worth answering is not whether jobs are running, it is when somebody last proved one and how long the business would be down.
- Endpoint and Intune review: Not whether Intune says the estate is compliant, but whether that means what you think it means: what is enrolled, what has gone quiet, which policies are actually winning, and what you could prove if somebody asked.
