IT Consulting That Gives San Francisco Companies a Plan
Most growing Bay Area companies don’t have an IT strategy — they have an IT history: decisions made under deadline, tools bought mid-crisis, and a budget assembled by adding 10% to last year’s surprises. Our consultants turn that history into a roadmap: what to build, what to retire, what it costs, and in what order — with executives who can finally see IT in business terms.
- Fractional CIO guidance without the executive salary
- Technology roadmaps tied to hiring plans, funding, and revenue
- Budgets your CFO can hold — and hold you to
- Due-diligence and audit readiness before the stakes arrive
- Vendor contracts negotiated by people who know the list prices

Why Smart Companies Make Bad IT Decisions
Nobody plans to accumulate technical debt. A startup in SoMa hits forty people and the file-sharing that worked at twelve quietly becomes a liability. A FiDi investment firm adds a compliance obligation with every new fund but hasn’t revisited its systems since fund one. A family-run manufacturer on the Peninsula knows the ERP is twenty years old — but the person who’d choose its replacement is also the person answering every help desk ticket.
The pattern is structural: companies between ten and three hundred employees carry enterprise-grade IT decisions — security architecture, compliance posture, cloud spend, AI adoption — without an executive whose job is making them. The result is decision-by-vendor: whoever sold the last product set the strategy.
- A budget built from the roadmap, defended line by line
- Purchases sequenced by plan, negotiated in advance
- Audit and diligence readiness before the stakes arrive
- Contracts renegotiated on schedule — savings compound
