Tech Consulting
Clear answers about the technology behind your business.
We help businesses across the South identify the hurdles that software or technology can solve, and how best to use technology in the business. Each engagement is a defined project: you get an honest outside view, a written plan, and help carrying it out if you want it.
Is this for you?
A good fit if…
- You are paying for software nobody is sure you need
- You are about to choose a big system (CRM, ERP, phone, practice management)
- Technology decisions keep landing on someone who is not a tech person
- You want a second opinion on a quote or a vendor

FAQ
Tech Consulting questions
Do I have to hire you to implement the plan?
No. The recommendations are yours to use with any team. Many clients ask us to help, but it is not required.
Is this only for large companies?
No. Smaller businesses often benefit most, because one good decision makes a bigger difference to a small team.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. We are happy to work alongside an existing IT or software provider.
How is this different from Fractional CTO?
Tech Consulting is a defined project with a written result, such as an audit, a software selection or a roadmap. If you want someone in an ongoing leadership role who owns that plan and oversees the work month to month, that is our Fractional CTO service.
How much does tech consulting cost?
Tech consulting is $150/hour. If you want a defined project, a fixed-price assessment with a written plan starts at $1,500.
