Technology consulting and IT advisory
The hardest part is rarely “what can be done”, but “what to do first, and why”. We help you structure technology decisions in plain language: we separate critical fixes from stabilisation and development, estimate cost and risk, and put them in an order you can defend to the board.
Technology consulting is the work of bringing order to IT decisions: what to fix first, what it costs and who is responsible for what. It covers technology audits, technical debt assessment, roadmaps and IT cost optimisation. Instead of generalities, you get a prioritised list of actions linked to risk, cost and business impact.
What the problem we sort out costs
Stripe calculates that 13.5 hours a week of developer time goes on technical debt, and 3.8 hours on problems caused by bad code.
It works like compound interest: each quarter the fixes get more expensive and new features slower. A technology audit shows what to fix now, what to defer and what can safely be ignored.

A standard IT cost optimisation starts with a full TCO: licences, infrastructure, maintenance, suppliers and the cost of change.
Without such a map, a company spends money putting out fires rather than on growth. A structured priority list linked to risk and cost directs attention to the things with the greatest impact.
Reference pointTCO model: fixed costs + maintenance + risk + cost of change
Example: 40 SaaS licences × PLN 120 a month for unused accounts comes to PLN 57,600 a year.
In a cost audit we look for simple leaks: duplicate tools, excess licences, oversized infrastructure and supplier work that can be simplified or eliminated.

Does this apply to your business
The owner or management of an SME without an in-house CTO who needs to make technology decisions
A company before a major investment, acquisition or change of supplier that needs an independent assessment
An organisation with rising IT costs that does not know whether it is overpaying or investing well
A technical team without strategic oversight, where decisions are made bottom-up with no coherent roadmap
Signs it is time to act
The company faces a decision: modernise, rewrite or integrate the existing system
IT costs are rising faster than revenue, and the board does not know why
Before an investment, merger or change of supplier, an independent assessment of the technology is needed
There is no one who looks at technology from a business perspective rather than a code perspective
What the work covers
Technology audit: architecture, code, security, performance
Technology due diligence before an investment or acquisition
Technology roadmap linked to business goals
IT cost optimisation: licences, infrastructure, maintenance
Assessment and prioritisation of technical debt
What should change in how the company works
A clear order of actions
Technical decisions are ranked by risk, cost and business impact, and are easier to defend to the board.
Independent assessment
An audit with no stake in selling a particular technology shows the real state of affairs, not a vendor’s offer.
Lower IT costs
A review of licences, infrastructure and maintenance shows where the company overpays for no benefit.
Confidence before an investment
Technology due diligence reveals the real risks in the system, the team and the costs – before you spend the budget on an investment, acquisition or change of supplier.
A decision without guesswork
| Criterion | Technology audit | Due diligence |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Assessing the state and setting repair priorities | Assessing risk before a transaction |
| Scope | Architecture, code, security, costs | Technology, team, risks, scalability |
| Outcome | Prioritised list of recommendations | Risk report for the investment decision |
| When | When technology needs to be brought into order | Before an investment, acquisition or change of supplier |
Questions before we start working together
What is a technology audit?
It is an independent assessment of architecture, code, security and IT costs, concluding with a prioritised list of recommendations. It shows the real state of the technology and the order of action, linked to risk, cost and business impact, with no stake in selling a particular solution.
What is technology due diligence?
It is an independent assessment of technology before an investment, acquisition or change of supplier: architecture, team, risks and scalability. It shows what you are actually buying or investing in, and which technical risks affect the valuation and the decision.
Does consulting end with a report?
No. The report and roadmap are a starting point, but we can also lead implementation: overseeing rollouts and supporting your team through the hardest technology decisions.
