Why independent advice?

The provider recommends what it knows, the vendor recommends staying, and the internal team recommends what it masters. None is wrong, but none is neutral. For a decision that commits the organisation for years, management needs advice with no hidden interest.

EKUITY takes no commission on what you buy. When a ko- suite solution meets your need, we say so; when another fits better, we recommend it.

How the engagement works

  1. Listening: management’s issues, constraints, decisions to make.
  2. Analysis: current situation, possible options, costs, risks and reversibility.
  3. Recommendation: options compared and a reasoned recommendation, presented to management.
  4. Support: roadmap, ongoing trade-offs, hand-over to implementation if you wish.

What you receive

  • An analysis of the options and a reasoned recommendation
  • A roadmap over 1 to 3 years
  • A business case for major decisions
  • Clear material for the executive committee or the board

Who is it for?

  • Leaders of small and mid-sized companies facing a structural decision: ERP, cloud, managed services, security.
  • CIOs who want an external view to inform or defend a choice.
  • Organisations that want to reduce their dependency on big tech: see our approaches to leave Microsoft, Google Workspace or Confluence and Jira.

Frequently asked questions

What is independent IT consulting?
It is IT strategy advice from a provider with no financial interest in the client’s choices: no commission on purchases, no licence volumes to reach. The recommendation is driven by the organisation’s interest.
How do you stay independent while offering the ko- suite?
EKUITY takes no commission on what you buy. When a ko- suite solution meets your need, we say so; when another fits better, we recommend it, and the roadmap can be carried out with any provider. And when we help build a consultation, we never bid on it.
Do you work on one-off assignments or over time?
Both: a one-off assignment on a specific decision, or regular support for management. For continuous IS steering, kodir, the part-time CIO, takes over.
How is it different from an IT audit?
The audit reviews your information system as it is. Consulting helps you decide what comes next: strategy, roadmap, technology choices. The two are often combined.
