A FRESH LOOK AT YOUR IT SPEND

Get senior experience
working on your costs.

Technology spending can grow quietly: subscriptions renew, contracts overlap and suppliers become embedded. An experienced external view can reveal opportunities that are difficult to see when your team is busy keeping systems running.

Our CIO-level specialist works with your leadership and IT teams to understand what you spend, what your business needs and where costs could be reduced without losing sight of service quality, security or continuity.

COMMISSION-BASED APPROACH

Find the opportunities.
Agree the savings. Share the results.

01 / REVIEW

Understand your current spend

Review the agreed contracts, invoices, licences and services with the people who know your environment. Establish a clear cost baseline.

02 / RECOMMEND

Make the business case

Identify potential savings and explain the actions, dependencies and trade-offs. You choose which recommendations to follow.

03 / VERIFY

Measure savings achieved

Where agreed, support negotiations and implementation. Compare the outcome with the agreed baseline and calculate commission on qualifying savings.

Clear terms before work begins

We agree the commission percentage, scope, baseline, measurement period, qualifying savings, treatment of implementation costs and when fees are payable before the review starts. Potential savings depend on your circumstances and the changes you choose to make.

MORE THAN CUTTING A BILL

Make your IT spend
work harder.

The aim is to remove unnecessary cost while keeping the services your business depends on. Recommendations consider operational needs, support levels, contracts and the practical impact of change.

Whether you need an independent review of a handful of suppliers or a broader view of your IT operating costs, we agree the scope around your business.

Potential outcomes to explore

  • Better value from supplier contracts
  • Fewer unused or overlapping licences
  • Clearer understanding of IT spending
  • Support arrangements aligned to business needs
  • A prioritised plan for cost and service improvements

YOUR QUESTIONS

Before we start.

How does commission work?

We agree a percentage of qualifying savings achieved through the recommendations you implement. The baseline, measurement period, implementation costs, attribution and payment terms are agreed before work starts.

Do we have to accept every recommendation?

No. You decide which changes to make. We explain expected benefits and relevant risks so you can make an informed decision.

Can you help negotiate with suppliers?

Yes. Supplier review and negotiation can be included in the agreed scope. We work with your team and the authority you provide.

Are savings guaranteed?

No. The opportunities available depend on your current contracts, services and requirements. We assess the situation first and only calculate commission on savings that qualify under the agreement.

What information do you need?

We typically start with an overview of your IT spend, supplier contracts, invoices, subscription and licence information, and any renewal dates. We agree the information needed for your review.

Find out what your IT
could cost you less.
