The Challenge You Face
You're navigating a rapidly changing technology landscape with pressure to adopt AI, modernise legacy systems, and improve citizen services. Vendor promises sound compelling, but you're unsure what's realistic for your organisation.
You're facing:
- AI hype versus reality - Uncertainty about where AI adds genuine value
- Data sovereignty concerns - Regulatory constraints on cloud adoption
- Legacy technology debt - Aging systems that can't be replaced overnight
- Vendor lock-in risk - Commercial relationships that become impossible to exit
- Skills shortage - Difficulty recruiting and retaining technical talent
- Budget constraints - Limited funding for ambitious technology modernisation
- Political pressure - Demand for visible digital transformation
You need honest technology advice grounded in public sector reality, not vendor sales pitches.
What We Deliver
We provide technology strategy that works within your constraints:
- Technology Vision & Roadmap - Clear direction for technology modernisation over 3-5 years
- AI Opportunity Assessment - Realistic evaluation of where AI can add value in your context
- Data Strategy & Sovereignty - Approach to data management respecting jurisdictional constraints
- Architecture Principles - Standards for technology decisions that prevent chaos
- Cloud Strategy - Hybrid cloud approach balancing innovation with data sovereignty
- Legacy Modernisation Plan - Pragmatic approach to reducing technical debt
- Vendor Evaluation Framework - Independent assessment of technology vendors and products
- Build vs Buy Analysis - Honest assessment of what to develop in-house versus procure
- Technical Capability Roadmap - Plan for building internal technology skills
How We Deliver
We combine technical depth with public sector pragmatism:
- Current State Assessment - Understand existing technology landscape, constraints, and pain points
- Business Outcome Alignment - Connect technology strategy to organisational goals
- Technology Horizon Scanning - Research emerging technologies relevant to your context
- AI Use Case Identification - Find practical AI applications with measurable benefits
- Data Sovereignty Mapping - Understand regulatory constraints and design compliant solutions
- Architecture Design - Define target architecture and migration path
- Vendor Market Analysis - Independent evaluation of technology suppliers
- Roadmap Development - Sequenced, fundable plan for technology modernization
- Business Case Support - Quantify benefits and costs for investment approval
We deliver technology strategy you can actually implement, not aspirational visions disconnected from reality.
Deployment
This service typically deploys early in transformation:
- FOUNDATION - Establish the need for technology modernization
- MOBILISE - Develop technology strategy and secure funding
- DISCOVER - Validate technical assumptions through proofs of concept
- DESIGN - Translate strategy into detailed technical design
Technology strategy isn't a one-time deliverable. It evolves through PREPARE, DELIVER, and beyond.
Domains
This service addresses three domains:
- Technology - Architecture, platforms, AI, data, and technical standards
- Contracts - Commercial models, vendor relationships, and procurement approach
- Process - How technology enables or transforms business processes
The contracts domain is critical. Brilliant technology strategy fails with poor commercial strategy.
Leaving a Legacy
When we exit, your organisation will have:
- A clear technology vision with leadership alignment
- Realistic AI strategy focused on measurable outcomes
- Data sovereignty compliance with innovation enabled
- Architecture principles guiding future technology decisions
- Vendor independence with multi-supplier strategy
- Technical capability plan for building internal skills
- Fundable roadmap for technology modernization
- Internal technology leadership strengthened through collaboration
This isn't a consulting deck that goes in a drawer. It's a working strategy that guides investment and decisions.
Use Cases
We've helped public sector organizations with:
- AI for casework automation - Reducing manual processing in benefits administration
