IT Consulting

Technology decisions you can defend in the boardroom.

Independent advice from architects who still ship code — so every recommendation comes with a plan, a price, and a person accountable for it.

Overview

What our consulting engagements deliver

IT consulting, done properly, is decision support: independent analysis that tells you what to build, what to buy, what to retire, and in what order — with the costs and risks of each path stated plainly. You should leave every engagement with decisions made, not a longer list of questions.

Asteriskk Technologies consults from the builder's side of the table. The people who audit your architecture are the same engineers who ship platforms for 40+ enterprise clients, which is why our recommendations come with implementation plans and real cost figures instead of abstractions. We are vendor-neutral: no reseller margins, no partner quotas, no incentive to inflate scope.

Engagements run two to eight weeks and end in a written roadmap your board can read in one sitting — every recommendation ranked by impact, effort, and risk.

Capabilities

What we deliver

  • Technology strategy & roadmaps

    A 12–24 month technology plan tied to business goals, with budgets and sequencing your CFO can pressure-test.

  • Architecture reviews

    Deep audits of systems, code, and infrastructure that grade what you have and rank what to fix first.

  • Digital transformation

    Pragmatic modernisation programmes that replace legacy processes step by step — without betting the company on a big bang.

  • Vendor & platform selection

    Structured build-vs-buy evaluations and RFP support, free of reseller incentives, ending in a defensible recommendation.

  • Fractional CTO & team augmentation

    Senior technical leadership by the day, or vetted engineers embedded in your team within two weeks.

  • Delivery & process audits

    Reviews of how your team ships — pipelines, testing, planning — with fixes that typically cut cycle time 30% or more.

Process

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Frame the question

    We agree the exact decisions the engagement must resolve, so the output is answers — not a longer list of questions.

  2. 02

    Gather the evidence

    Interviews, code and infrastructure review, and cost analysis produce a fact base everyone can agree on.

  3. 03

    Weigh the options

    Each viable path gets a cost, a timeline, and a risk profile — presented side by side, in plain language.

  4. 04

    Hand over the plan

    A written roadmap with owners, budgets, and first steps — plus our help executing it, if and only if you want it.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us

Two to eight weeks: a framing workshop, evidence gathering across your systems and teams, then a written roadmap with ranked recommendations. Fixed fee, agreed upfront — most engagements run $8,000 to $40,000 depending on estate size.

Both, but never as a bait-and-switch. The roadmap is designed so any competent team can execute it — yours, ours, or a third party. About half of clients ask us to build; half take the plan in-house.

No. We hold no reseller agreements and take no referral commissions, so a recommendation for AWS, Azure, or an off-the-shelf product reflects your requirements — not our margins.

That is the normal case. We interview and pair with your engineers rather than around them — the goal is a plan your team believes in, because they helped shape the evidence behind it.

We offer a one-week rapid review: one architect, your key systems and contracts, and a written brief of findings and red flags. It is the cheapest insurance you can buy before a major technology commitment.
