Consulting Services

Paid consulting engagements with defined deliverables—and a finish line.

Use consulting when you need a structured program: an RFx toolkit, a FinOps plan, a migration cutover runbook, or rollout governance. You get tangible artifacts, clear ownership, and execution guardrails—then the engagement ends.

Proposal & Scope Review

When you already have proposals: normalize pricing, call out risks, and tighten assumptions.

Request review

Scope + Success Criteria

Confirm constraints, stakeholders, timeline, and what “done” looks like.

Workplan + artifacts

Runbooks, templates, scorecards, governance cadence—whatever the engagement requires.

Handoff + closeout

Deliverables, enablement, and ownership transfer. Engagement ends cleanly.

Consulting is a fit when…

• You need a toolkit, scorecard, roadmap, or program plan you can reuse
• You’re driving a migration/cutover where failure is expensive
• You want RFx comparability without “apples-to-oranges” responses
• You need rollout governance across teams and vendors
• You want cost governance (FinOps) to persist after the engagement

When advisory may be better

• You want ongoing sourcing help and vendor lifecycle support
• You need recurring renewals discipline and contract inventory governance
• You want an escalation point that stays engaged after go-live
• You’re continuously sourcing across categories (colo, cloud, connectivity, UC, security)

Scope Examples

01

RFx Toolkit & Management

Build an RFx engine: controlled inputs, standardized vendor responses, and an executive-ready recommendation pack.

• RFx strategy + shortlist, requirements capture, and scoping workshops
• RFx document + pricing templates (MRC/NRC/fees/assumptions)
• Bidder Q&A, response intake, compliance checks, and scoring facilitation
• Commercial normalization + term risk review (SLA, MACD, renewal, add-ons)
• Recommendation pack: options matrix, tradeoffs, and award handoff

02

Cloud Cost Optimization (FinOps)

Turn cloud spend into governed spend: unit economics, actionable savings, and repeatable controls.

• Baseline: spend anatomy, tag coverage, allocation model
• Waste + rightsizing program, scheduling, and commitment strategy
• Storage/retention + egress drivers review; managed services tuning
• Forecasting, dashboards, and governance cadence (RACI + decision rights)
• Savings roadmap: quick wins vs structural changes

03

Migration & Cutover Management

Execution leadership for high-risk changes. Reduce outages and surprises with runbooks, readiness gates, and command center support.

• Discovery + dependency mapping; target-state validation
• Wave planning and standardized runbooks (owners, timing, validation checks)
• Cutover strategy: phased vs big-bang; blue/green; rollback criteria
• Go-live command center + vendor escalation; hypercare stabilization
• Decommission and cost cleanup post-cutover

04

PMO for Rollouts

Make rollouts boring (in a good way): integrated planning, vendor coordination, and disciplined execution cadence.

• Integrated plan + dependency management; site/wave schedule
• Governance cadence: steering, weekly execution, RAID discipline
• Readiness gates, quality checks, and standardized templates
• Status reporting for exec + team level; budget/variance tracking
• Operational handoff: documentation, ownership, support model

05

Network Transformation

Define a procurement-ready target architecture and rollout plan for WAN/SD-WAN improvements—built around feasibility and operations.

• Current-state assessment (performance, constraints, operational ownership)
• Target-state design: topology, policy, resiliency assumptions, monitoring/support model
• Vendor and platform requirements; RFx-ready scope + pricing template inputs
• Rollout approach: waves, readiness checklist, test plan, and cutover guardrails
• Executive decision pack: tradeoffs + “what changes the decision”
