Digital strategy consulting

Companies usually come to us when the IT bill keeps rising and nobody can say plainly what the business gets in return. We sort the backlog into three piles: act now, postpone by twelve months, or switch off for good.

What the service covers

Our starting point is how the company makes money, not the technology. Products get picked later, when the required change has been pinned down.

Talk it through with us

Current landscape

Systems, processes, licences, supplier contracts, weak spots and risks, mapped through interviews and remote access.

Talking to the business

What slows down sales, finance, the warehouse and management day to day. The answers often differ from the IT team's own view.

Following the money

Microsoft 365 licences, cloud consumption, subscriptions and consultancy hours. We separate spending that creates value from spending that simply rolls on.

External requirements

NIS2, GDPR, the Danish Bookkeeping Act rules on digital bookkeeping systems and your customers' own security demands, built into the plan from the outset.

Prioritisation

Initiatives are scored on benefit and effort, and every ranking comes with our reasoning.

Roadmap and presentation

A one to three year plan with phases, amounts and decision points, written so owners and the board can make a call.

How we deliver it

Expect a month to six weeks, depending on headcount and how many departments are involved. Every meeting takes place on Teams.

Understand

We learn the business model and what stands in the way of growth, not only the technical set-up.

Collect

Technical review, licence reports and interviews with department heads.

Analyse

We lay business pain points over system health and put a figure on the gain from each change.

Roadmap

A costed plan, presented to management and adjusted once they have had their say.

We nearly always find money leaking away for no benefit. Licences for people who left long ago, a system bought and never rolled out, two services doing the same job. Tidying that up often funds the first phase of the roadmap without any request for fresh budget.

Common questions

An assessment describes the health of your IT today. A digital strategy answers another question: where you should go next and in which order. We may run one as input, yet by itself it produces no ranking and no budget.

Department heads and whoever owns the budget must be involved. A plan based only on conversations with IT tends to be technically correct and blind to how the company earns its revenue.

You will hear them straight, even if the real cause lies in processes or organisation rather than software. It is not pleasant to hear, but it stops the budget going on a system that would never have fixed the problem.
