Consulting & sourcing

Consulting that leaves your team stronger than it found them

Six practices, one operating philosophy: measure the bottleneck, fix it with people who have fixed it before, and hand over something your team can run without us.

Six practices, one delivery model
One deliverymodelProductQualityCloudData & AIModerniseManaged

Six practices, staffed by people who have run them at scale

Engage one practice or a blended pod. The delivery model, telemetry and governance stay the same either way.

01

Product Engineering

Discovery-to-launch teams that build enterprise-grade products — architecture, UX, full-stack delivery and hardening for scale.

What you get

  • Product discovery and technical due diligence
  • Cloud-native architecture and API platforms
  • Full-stack build with embedded design
  • Performance, accessibility and security hardening

Outcome: A production system, not a prototype — with the documentation and tests to keep it alive.

Cross-functional podTwo-week increments

02

Quality Engineering

Test strategy, automation and release governance, run the way QA Intelligence works: tests traced to requirements and gates with recorded decisions.

What you get

  • Automation frameworks for web, mobile and API
  • Risk-based regression and shift-left testing
  • Performance, resilience and security testing
  • Release readiness and audit evidence design

Outcome: Regression cycles measured in hours, and a release decision you can defend with data.

03

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Landing zones, CI/CD, observability and cost control across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — built to hand over, not to hoard.

What you get

  • Cloud migration and landing zone design
  • CI/CD, IaC and golden-path developer platforms
  • Observability, SRE practices and incident readiness
  • FinOps and continuous cost optimisation

Outcome: Deploys that are boring, reversible and traceable — with a cloud bill you can explain.

04

Data, Analytics & AI

From warehouse foundations to production AI — pipelines, governance, models and the guardrails that make them safe to run.

What you get

  • Data platform and lakehouse engineering
  • Analytics, BI and decision dashboards
  • LLM applications, RAG and agent workflows
  • AI governance, evaluation and monitoring

Outcome: AI that survives contact with production — measured, monitored and explainable.

05

Modernisation & Integration

Untangle legacy estates with incremental modernisation, event-driven integration and migration paths that keep the business running.

What you get

  • Legacy assessment and modernisation roadmap
  • Strangler-fig decomposition of monoliths
  • API-led and event-driven integration
  • Data migration with reconciliation controls

Outcome: A path off legacy that delivers value every quarter instead of in one terrifying cutover.

Managed Services & Support

Run and evolve the systems you depend on with SLA-backed support, proactive maintenance and continuous improvement.

What you get

  • L2/L3 application support with defined SLAs
  • 24×7 monitoring and incident response
  • Patch, upgrade and dependency management
  • Quarterly improvement and roadmap reviews

Outcome: Fewer incidents, faster recovery, and a system that improves while it runs.

IT products, bought properly

Procurement without advisory produces shelfware. We advise, source, deploy and drive adoption — and we are transparent about every margin and rebate in the chain.

Software licensing

Advisory, procurement and renewal management across productivity, security, data and developer tooling — with true-up protection and right-sizing.

Infrastructure & devices

Servers, endpoints, networking and workplace hardware sourced through vetted partners, staged and deployed by our engineers.

Vendor management

Single commercial relationship across a multi-vendor stack — one contract, one invoice, one accountable partner.

Deployment & adoption

Rollout planning, migration, integration and enablement so the licences you buy are actually used from week one.

Typical clients consolidate 6–11 vendor relationships into one agreement and recover 14–22% of annual licence spend in the first renewal cycle through right-sizing alone.

A delivery method you can audit, not a methodology poster

Every engagement follows the same four phases with the same artefacts — so you always know what exists, what it cost and who owns it next.

  1. Two weeks, fixed price

    Discover

    We map the current state, quantify the bottleneck and produce a plan with numbers attached — yours to keep whether or not you continue with us.

  2. Before any build

    Design

    Architecture, delivery model, quality strategy and success measures agreed before a line of production code is written.

  3. Two-week increments

    Deliver

    A cross-functional pod ships against the measures we agreed, with your team embedded from day one.

  4. Continuous

    Run and hand over

    Documentation, runbooks and enablement so your team can operate independently — then optional SLA-backed support if you want us to stay.

Commercial models that match the risk

We will recommend the cheapest model that solves your problem, even when it is not the biggest contract.

  1. Product subscription

    License SyncupHUB, with QA Intelligence, Visual Canvas and Document Spaces included, plus onboarding and success support.

    Best forTeams adopting a product with light configuration.

  2. Dedicated pod

    A cross-functional squad — product, engineering, QA, DevOps — embedded with your team on a rolling quarterly commitment.

    Best forSustained roadmap delivery and platform ownership.

  3. Fixed-scope project

    Defined outcome, milestone plan and fixed commercials, with change control that does not punish learning.

    Best forMigrations, integrations and well-bounded builds.

  4. Managed outcome

    We own an SLA-backed service outcome — availability, release cadence or quality targets — not just headcount.

    Best forRun-and-evolve of business-critical systems.

We eat our own products

Every engagement runs on SyncupHUB, with QA Intelligence, Visual Canvas and Document Spaces. You see the same delivery data we do, as it changes.

Senior by default

No pyramid staffing. The people in the pitch are the people on the pod, and the average tenure on our teams is nine years.

Measured, not narrated

Cycle time, defect leakage, predictability and cost per change are reported weekly — including the weeks when they get worse.

Exit-ready from day one

Handover artefacts are produced continuously, not assembled in a panic at the end of the contract.

Before you send the RFP

Yes. Roughly half our engagements start as pure consulting. We use our products internally to run the work, but there is no obligation to license anything, and we will say so plainly when a product is not the right fit.

A discovery engagement typically starts within two weeks. A full delivery pod takes three to five weeks to assemble, depending on the domain and any clearance or compliance onboarding.

Routinely. We are often brought in to make a multi-vendor programme cohere — defining interfaces, quality gates and shared telemetry so accountability stops falling between contracts.

Licence advisory and procurement, infrastructure and device supply through vetted partners, consolidated vendor management, and the deployment and enablement work that follows. One commercial relationship instead of six.

Discovery is fixed price. Pods are priced monthly against a defined capacity. Fixed-scope projects are milestone-based, and managed outcomes are priced against the SLA. Every model is quoted in writing before work starts.

Two weeks to a plan with numbers attached

Fixed price, with a named senior architect and delivery lead. The deliverable is yours whatever you decide afterwards.

What discovery leaves you with

  • Current-state assessment
  • Costed modernisation plan
  • Quality and risk baseline
