JEDA / Services
IT Consulting
Independent technology advice, and a roadmap you can actually budget for.
Technology decisions are expensive to reverse.
Choosing the wrong platform, over-buying licences, or migrating without a plan costs far more than the time it takes to think it through properly.
JEDA's consulting engagements give you an independent read on your technology: what you're running, what it costs, where the risk sits, and what to do about it in what order. You get a written roadmap with costs and timelines — not a sales pitch for products we happen to resell.
We work equally well as a one-off engagement or as an ongoing advisory relationship, where we act as your virtual CIO and sit in on your planning cycle.
What's included
How we work with you
IT audit & discovery
A full inventory of systems, licences, contracts, costs and risks — often the first time a client has seen it all in one place.
Technology roadmap
A prioritised 12–24 month plan with costs, dependencies and business justification for each item.
Cloud & infrastructure strategy
Independent assessment of what to move, what to retire, and what to leave where it is.
Virtual CIO / advisory retainer
Ongoing strategic input, budget planning and vendor management on a monthly retainer.
Vendor & contract review
Review of your existing IT contracts, licensing and renewals to remove overlap and reduce spend.
Project delivery & oversight
Scoping, managing and assuring delivery of technology projects, including migrations and rollouts.
Who this is for
Built for decisions that matter
- Businesses making a significant technology investment and wanting a second opinion first
- Companies whose IT has grown organically and nobody has a full picture of it any more
- Leadership teams that need IT input at board level without hiring a full-time CIO
What you get out of it
A plan you can budget
Costed, sequenced and tied to business outcomes rather than to product cycles.
Independent advice
We're not tied to a single vendor — our recommendations are based on fit, not on margin.
Faster, safer projects
Fewer surprises, because the discovery work is done before the spend is committed.
FAQ
Common questions
How long does a typical engagement take?
An IT audit and roadmap typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on the size of your estate. Advisory retainers run monthly with a quarterly review cycle.
What do we actually receive at the end?
A written report: current-state inventory, identified risks, prioritised recommendations, indicative costs and a delivery timeline. We present it to your leadership team and answer questions.
Do we have to use JEDA to implement the recommendations?
No. The roadmap is yours and it's written to be implemented by anyone. Plenty of clients ask us to implement it, but that's a separate decision.
How is consulting priced?
Fixed fee for defined engagements such as an audit and roadmap; monthly retainer for ongoing advisory. We quote before we start.
