What you get
How IT consulting in Vancouver actually works
Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.
Architecture review
Practical guidance on SaaS, cloud, networking, and identity that balances cost, security, and growth.
Security posture
Identity, endpoint, and data protection reviews aligned with CIS/OWASP and your industry requirements.
Cost optimization
License rationalization, rightsizing, and vendor consolidation — typically paying for itself within the first quarter.
Vendor management
We sit between you and vendors to align SLAs, pricing, and escalation paths so you focus on the business.
Executive reporting
Clear monthly summaries of risk, cost, and progress — so leadership never flies blind on IT.
Who it is for
A strong fit for
- Owners who rely on a mix of freelancers and vendors but have no single IT owner
- Teams preparing for growth, funding, or an audit where IT needs a story
- Organizations recovering from a failed outsourced IT relationship
- Non-profits and professional firms with tight budgets and real compliance needs
- Teams that want a second opinion before signing multi-year SaaS or cloud contracts
- Businesses where nobody has mapped where the data, passwords, and logins actually live
Our process
How an engagement usually runs
-
1
Discovery
A structured review of your stack, vendors, and risks. We interview key people, read contracts, and write a plain-English findings document.
-
2
Roadmap
30 / 60 / 90-day plan with prioritized quick wins, owners, and cost estimates — built so you can share it with the team or board.
-
3
Quick wins
Ship the highest-impact fixes first (MFA, backups, licensing cleanup, expiring renewals) while the longer work is planned.
-
4
Project delivery
Execute on migrations, integrations, or vendor changes with clear scope, rollback paths, and honest status updates.
-
5
Ongoing advisory
Monthly review of risks, costs, and upcoming renewals — plus a direct line when something unexpected lands.
-
6
Executive reporting
Clean summaries for leadership — what shipped, what it cost, what risk was reduced, and what is next.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Most engagements start with a fixed-price discovery, then move to a month-to-month retainer scoped to the actual priorities.
Do you work with our existing IT team?
Yes. Most engagements augment an internal team rather than replace it, with a clear written split of responsibilities.
What does a typical engagement cost?
Discovery projects are usually fixed-price in the low thousands. Ongoing advisory is a monthly retainer priced on scope — no surprise invoices.
We have no internal IT — can you be our IT department?
Yes. Many clients use us as their fractional IT team — help desk, vendor management, security, and strategy under one roof.
Can you help clean up our SaaS and cloud spend?
Yes — licensing review, vendor consolidation, and rightsizing. Most engagements pay for themselves within the first quarter from what we cut.
Do you handle vendor renewals and escalations?
Yes — contract reviews, renewals, escalations, and migrating between providers when the current one is clearly the wrong fit.
Can you lead a cloud migration end-to-end?
Absolutely. We plan, test, migrate, and verify performance with rollback paths and security guardrails — not a big-bang cutover.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a week of signing the discovery. Urgent situations (incidents, expiring contracts, stalled projects) can start the same week.
