Consulting Services
Many organisations have no technology owner: software gets bought by whoever needs it, and nobody owns architecture, integration, the security baseline or the licence bill. PASDACS gives the business a technology office - roadmap, architecture, cyber security, data and AI governance, and vendor management - on a cadence sized to the organisation. It starts with a fixed-fee digital diagnostic and can continue as a fractional CTO, CIO or data officer.
