Understand differences in scope, assumptions and ongoing costs.
Assess existing systems
Identify technical constraints, maintenance needs and areas of risk.
Plan investment
Consider priorities, dependencies and the implications of delaying work.
Build or buy
Compare custom development with products already available.
What we review

Proposals, applications and project plans

Get a review of a specific proposal, an existing application or the scope of a new project.

  • Software and supplier reviews

    Examine what a proposal covers, what it leaves open and how it fits your requirements. A useful comparison includes implementation, maintenance and the cost of future changes.

  • System reviews

    Look at the software you rely on, its dependencies and the practical options for maintaining, extending or replacing it.

  • Technology planning

    Connect proposed technical work to business priorities, with attention to cost, risk and the order in which decisions need to be made.
