How an engagement works Request a review

Positioning

Advice with nothing riding on the answer.

A great deal of technology advice is given by organisations that profit from a particular conclusion. We are not one of them.

Alvoris does build software — and that is precisely why our consultancy engagements are scoped and priced separately. A review that concludes “keep what you have, change three settings and train four people” is a successful review. We will write it if the evidence supports it.

Where a review does point towards new software, you are free to take our findings to any supplier you like. The report is yours.

The consultancy method

Evidence accumulates. Then the recommendation writes itself.

Five stages, each producing something written. Nothing is asserted at stage five that was not evidenced at stages one to four.

Accumulating evidence Stage output Final recommendation

Capability areas

Two areas, four services.

Area A3

Technology Assessment & Selection

What you run today, honestly assessed — and a defensible route to choosing what comes next.

05 — IT Systems Audit & Improvement Review · from £1,500
06 — Software Selection & Vendor Advisory · from £1,700

Area A4

Technology Operations & Resilience

The cost and fragility of the running estate — and what the business does when a critical system stops.

07 — IT Estate Rationalisation & Cost Review · from £1,800
08 — Business Continuity & Technology Resilience Planning · from £1,900

What you receive

Documents, not impressions.

Every consultancy engagement ends with material your organisation keeps and can act on without us.

01Written reportFindings, evidence, options and a stated recommendation, in language a non-technical board member can follow.

02Current-state recordAn inventory of what you run, who uses it, what it costs and what depends on it.

03Prioritised action listSequenced by impact, effort and dependency, with an indication of what each item is likely to involve.

04Comparison materialWhere options exist: scored matrices, cost projections and the criteria used, so the choice can be defended later.

05Risk register extractTechnology risks stated plainly, with likely consequence and the mitigation that would address each one.

06A working sessionA walkthrough of the findings with your team, so questions are answered while the reasoning is still fresh.

Cost and duration

Consultancy engagements start at £1,500.

Consultancy is deliberately the cheaper entry point. For many organisations the correct first step is a review rather than a build — and the review often shows that the build can be smaller than expected.

Typical duration 2–5 weeks From kick-off to final report, depending on scope, the availability of your staff for interviews and how quickly system information can be gathered.
