CONAIS

Strategic IT Consultant & Digital Transformation

Strategic IT Consulting & Digital Transformation you can actually execute

We approach strategic IT consulting differently for one structural reason: we deliver as well as advise. SharePoint migrations, custom applications, AI systems running in production. So when we put a phase on your roadmap and attach a timeline and a budget to it, we’re estimating work we’ve done before rather than work we’ve read about. If you want us to execute afterwards, that’s an option — never an obligation, and never a condition of the advice.

You’ll also notice something unusual further down this page: our prices. A technology assessment runs two to four weeks. A full digital transformation strategy runs six to twelve. Fractional CIO support is a monthly retainer. We publish the ranges because the alternative — a discovery call whose real purpose is working out what you’ll tolerate paying — wastes your time and ours.
