Many businesses overspend on technology without realising it. Unused licenses, fragmented systems, manual workarounds, and redundant subscriptions quietly drain budgets. I help you identify where money is being wasted and how to fix it.
Technology should be an investment that pays dividends, not a cost centre that bleeds money. Yet many small and medium-sized businesses find themselves paying for software nobody uses, maintaining systems that don't talk to each other, and watching staff spend hours on tasks that could be automated.
The problem often creeps up gradually. A new tool gets added here, a subscription there, and before you know it you're paying for three different systems that all do similar things. Staff develop workarounds with spreadsheets and manual processes because the official tools don't quite fit. Nobody has time to step back and look at the full picture.
That's where I come in. With fresh eyes and deep technical expertise, I assess your entire technology landscape to identify waste, inefficiency, and missed opportunities. The goal is simple: ensure every pound you spend on IT delivers real value to your business.
A thorough examination of your technology spend and efficiency
Uncover unused, underutilised, or incorrectly licensed software eating into your budget.
Identify disconnected tools and data silos that create inefficiency and errors.
Find time-consuming manual tasks that could be automated or eliminated entirely.
Eliminate overlapping services and forgotten subscriptions draining your budget.
Ensure your cloud services are right-sized and configured for cost efficiency.
Analyze existing contracts for hidden costs, better terms, and renegotiation opportunities.
Identify security vulnerabilities that could result in costly breaches or compliance fines.
Discover where poor tool adoption means you're paying for capabilities nobody uses.
Evaluate legacy systems and outdated solutions costing more to maintain than replace.
1. Discovery Session: We start with a conversation about your business, your technology, and your pain points. I want to understand not just what tools you use, but how your team actually works day-to-day.
2. Technical Review: I examine your software licenses, subscriptions, systems, and processes. This includes reviewing admin consoles, speaking with key staff, and mapping how information flows through your business.
3. Analysis & Findings: I compile everything into a clear, jargon-free report that shows exactly where money is being wasted and why. Every finding is prioritized by potential savings and effort to fix.
4. Recommendations: You'll receive specific, actionable recommendations with realistic cost-benefit analysis. I'll explain the options and help you decide which improvements make sense for your situation.
5. Implementation Support: If you'd like help putting the recommendations into action, I can assist with vendor negotiations, system consolidation, automation projects, or any other improvements identified in the assessment.
Common issues uncovered during IT value assessments
Former employees still assigned expensive software licenses. Seasonal staff with year-round subscriptions. Test accounts consuming paid seats.
Different departments using different tools for the same purpose. Marketing uses one project manager, development uses another, sales uses a third.
Critical business processes running on spreadsheets that are emailed around, manually updated, and prone to version confusion and errors.
Paying for enterprise features when standard would suffice. Or worse, everyone on the top tier when only a few power users need it.
Staff signing up for their own tools because the official ones don't work for them. Each creating security risks and additional costs.
Hours spent each week on manual data entry, copying information between systems, and creating reports that could be automated.
