Technical Consultancy

Independent Technical Consultancy for Automation and Modernisation

Technical advisory for organisations making strategic decisions about automation platforms, legacy modernisation and enterprise architecture - providing independent, evidence-based recommendations rather than vendor-driven sales pitches.

The Challenge

Problems this service addresses

Vendor Bias

Platform vendors recommend their own products, making it difficult to get impartial advice on what is actually best for your organisation.

Strategic Uncertainty

Leadership needs to make platform and modernisation decisions but lacks the technical assessment to choose confidently.

Architecture Gaps

Organisations lack a clear architecture strategy for automation, integration and platform governance.

Risk Blind Spots

Decision-makers cannot see the technical risks, dependencies and constraints that should inform strategic choices.

Skills Assessment

Organisations are unsure whether to build internal capability, engage specialists, or use a combination.

Budget Pressure

Investment needs to be prioritised but there is no clear framework for deciding what to do first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you independent from Microsoft and Nintex?
We are not a Microsoft or Nintex partner. We provide independent advice based on our experience working with both platforms. Our recommendations are based on what we assess to be the best fit for your organisation, not vendor relationships.
Can you help us decide between Power Platform and K2?
Yes. We have experience with both platforms and can provide an independent comparison based on your specific requirements. See our technical comparison article for an initial perspective.
Do you provide ongoing advisory or one-off assessments?
Both. We can provide a one-off technical assessment for a specific decision, or ongoing advisory support through a programme of work.
Will you tell us what we want to hear?
No. Our value is in providing honest, evidence-based advice - including recommending against a proposed approach if we believe there is a better alternative or significant risk.
Can you help us build a business case for investment?
We provide the technical assessment and recommendations that inform business cases. We do not fabricate ROI figures or savings - we help you understand what is technically involved, what the risks are, and what a realistic approach looks like.
