Consulting services

Six disciplines, one consultant who understands how they connect. In practice, infrastructure, security, business systems, AI, and digital strategy decisions rarely stay in their own lanes, and the work is better when they don't have to.

01

AI Consulting & Automation

Practical AI adoption for organizations that want results rather than experiments. The work starts by finding where AI can genuinely save time or improve decisions, then moves to selecting tools, building automations, and integrating them with the systems already in place.

What it covers

  • AI strategy and implementation
  • AI tool evaluation and selection
  • Workflow and process automation
  • Business system integrations
  • AI-assisted applications and custom solutions
  • Practical AI adoption and security considerations

Typical situations

  • You know AI could help but aren't sure where to start.
  • Staff are already using AI tools and you need sensible guardrails.
  • A repetitive process is consuming hours every week.

02

IT Management & Infrastructure

Experienced management of the technology a business runs on, from planning and budgeting to the servers, networks, and cloud services underneath. A good fit for organizations without a full-time IT leader, or with an IT function that needs senior support.

What it covers

  • IT leadership and technology planning
  • Systems administration
  • Network and server infrastructure
  • Cloud services and architecture
  • Microsoft 365 and business technology environments
  • Operational troubleshooting and modernization

Typical situations

  • Technology decisions are being made without a plan.
  • Aging systems need modernization without disrupting the business.
  • A Microsoft 365 or cloud environment has grown without structure.
03

Cybersecurity & Recovery

Practical security work aimed at reducing real risk: assessing what is exposed, hardening systems and configurations, and helping recover when something has already gone wrong. Incident response support is provided on an engagement basis, not as a managed monitoring or 24/7 service.

What it covers

  • Security assessments and infrastructure hardening
  • Security configuration and risk reduction
  • Incident response support
  • Compromised system and server recovery
  • Practical cybersecurity guidance

Typical situations

  • You want an honest view of your current security posture.
  • A server or account has been compromised and needs careful recovery.
  • Security settings haven't been reviewed since systems were first set up.
04

CMMC Readiness & Compliance

Organized, practical preparation for CMMC Level 2: understanding the requirements, identifying gaps, planning remediation, and keeping documentation and controls current over time. This is readiness and compliance support, not formal assessment or certification.

What it covers

  • CMMC Level 2 readiness planning
  • Documentation organization
  • Security requirements and control tracking
  • Gap identification and remediation planning
  • Preparation for assessments
  • Ongoing compliance management support

Typical situations

  • A contract requires CMMC Level 2 and you're unsure where you stand.
  • Compliance documentation is scattered or out of date.
  • You need an ongoing process rather than a one-time scramble.

05

Digital Strategy & Marketing

Search, analytics, and marketing technology approached the way a systems consultant would: measurable, well integrated, and tied to business goals rather than vanity metrics.

What it covers

  • Search engine optimization
  • Digital marketing strategy
  • Affiliate marketing
  • Analytics and conversion measurement
  • Lead generation strategy
  • Marketing technology and integrations

Typical situations

  • Your website gets traffic but you can't tell what it produces.
  • SEO has been neglected or handled inconsistently.
  • Marketing tools don't share data with each other.
06

Web & Systems Development

Websites, internal tools, and custom applications built to be fast, secure, and maintainable, plus the integrations that connect the systems a business already depends on.

What it covers

  • Website development
  • Custom business applications
  • Systems integration
  • Business process automation
  • Specialized internal tools

Typical situations

  • A spreadsheet-driven process has outgrown spreadsheets.
  • Two business systems need to share data reliably.
  • A website needs a rebuild that performs well and is easy to maintain.
How engagements work

Structured around the work, not a package.

Every engagement is shaped by what the situation actually needs, and many combine more than one of the arrangements below.

PROJECT

Defined projects

A specific outcome with a clear scope, such as a migration, an assessment, a new system, or a website.

ADVISORY

Ongoing advisory

Continuing technology leadership and planning for organizations that want experienced guidance over time.

AS NEEDED

As-needed support

Hands-on technical help when specific problems arise, for existing clients and established relationships.
