Technology advisory

Technology advice for owners who don't have a technology department.

A technology advisor is sometimes called a fractional CTO or a virtual CIO. It means a senior person who guides your technology decisions part-time, so you don't need to hire one full-time.

Does this sound like you?

You pay for websites and software, and you are not sure it is worth it.
A supplier gives you a quote and you cannot tell if the price is fair.
Your team sends client documents by email and you worry about privacy rules.
You know technology could save you time, but you don't know where to start.

What your technology advisor does

Looks at what you have

Your website, email, software and security basics. We tell you what is fine and what is not.

Tells you what to fix first

A short, clear list in order of importance. Not a fifty-page report.

Checks quotes for a fair price

We read what suppliers and freelancers offer you and explain it in plain English.

Finds the right people to build

When something needs building, we bring in specialists we check before we work with them.

Helps keep client information safe

We help you handle documents and personal details with care, in line with POPIA.

Keeps you on track

A regular check-in, so small problems do not turn into big ones.
