Technology Consulting for Product & Operations Teams

Technology consulting is valuable when you are evaluating major technology decisions, planning a significant system upgrade, experiencing technical debt issues, considering build vs. buy decisions, evaluating new tools or platforms, or need an independent assessment of your current technology stack. It is particularly useful when you need strategic guidance that balances technical requirements with business objectives and budget constraints.

Technology consulting focuses on strategic planning, architecture design, and decision-making guidance before implementation. We help you make informed choices about technologies, platforms, and approaches. Development is the execution phase where we build and implement those solutions. Many clients start with consulting to ensure they are making the right technology decisions, then move to development with a clear roadmap and validated approach.

Consulting engagements typically range from 2-8 weeks depending on scope. A focused architecture review might take 2-3 weeks, while comprehensive technology strategy and roadmap development could take 6-8 weeks. We structure engagements in phases with clear deliverables at each milestone, allowing you to get value quickly and decide whether to continue based on results.

We provide vendor-agnostic recommendations based on your specific requirements, constraints, and context. Our goal is to find the best fit for your needs, not push specific vendors. We evaluate options objectively across criteria like functionality, cost, scalability, team expertise, integration requirements, and long-term viability. When we recommend solutions, we provide detailed rationale and trade-off analysis.

Yes! Cloud migration planning is a core consulting service. We assess your current infrastructure, identify migration candidates, evaluate cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), design migration strategies (lift-and-shift, re-platform, or refactor), estimate costs, plan for security and compliance, and create phased migration roadmaps. We help you understand the full picture before making significant cloud investments.

Healthy technical debate is valuable and expected. We encourage your team to challenge our recommendations and ask questions. Our goal is not to override your team but to provide external perspective, industry best practices, and analysis they might not have time to conduct. We document our reasoning, present multiple options with trade-offs, and facilitate collaborative decision-making that incorporates your team insights.

Yes, we offer ongoing advisory retainers for organizations that want continuous access to technology expertise. This typically includes monthly or quarterly strategy sessions, architecture reviews for new initiatives, vendor evaluation support, team coaching, and ad-hoc guidance as technical questions arise. This works well for companies that need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire.

Absolutely! Technology stack assessments are a common starting point. We review your current architecture, databases, frameworks, tools, and integrations, then evaluate them against your business goals, scalability needs, team capabilities, and industry standards. You receive a detailed report identifying strengths, weaknesses, technical debt, security concerns, and prioritized recommendations for improvement.

Our team actively works with modern technologies daily through development projects, maintains continuous learning practices, participates in technical communities, evaluates emerging tools and frameworks, and tests new technologies in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience, combined with strategic thinking, allows us to provide practical guidance grounded in current best practices rather than theoretical or outdated advice.

Deliverables vary by engagement but typically include: comprehensive written reports with findings and recommendations, architecture diagrams and technical documentation, comparison matrices for evaluated solutions, implementation roadmaps with phased timelines, risk assessments and mitigation strategies, cost estimates and TCO analysis, presentation decks for stakeholder communication, and follow-up sessions to answer questions. All deliverables are designed to be actionable and understandable by both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
