Find out what your IT money actually buys
In three weeks, you'll know where your technology spending goes, what puts your organization at risk, and what to fix first. You get it all in writing, in plain English.
One price, agreed before we start. No hourly billing, no change orders.
You pay an IT company every month, but who checks the work?
At most organizations with 50 to 250 staff, the IT company makes the technology decisions and also grades its own results. Contracts renew without anyone reading them. Staff pick up AI tools on their own. When the board asks how secure you are, nobody can say for sure.
The Review gives your leadership an independent look at all of it, from someone who doesn't sell you hardware, software, or IT services.
What you'll have in hand after three weeks
A simple process that respects your team's time
Gather
I meet with your leadership and your IT company. I collect contracts, invoices, and system details. Most of the legwork falls on me.
Review
I study your spending, contracts, security, backups, and AI use. I follow up with short questions as they come up.
Report
I write your findings and roadmap, then walk your leadership team through them in a one-hour briefing.
Your IT company keeps working as usual the whole time.
The Review is a good fit if
You need someone to fix computers or answer help desk tickets. Your IT company handles that work. My role is to lead and review it.
Kenneth Thomas, Fractional CTO
I've spent more than 20 years leading technology in media, government, education, healthcare, and telecom, including as Director of IT at NESN. I've directed annual technology budgets above $2 million. I write every Review myself.
“Kenneth led and oversaw several projects, including a companywide policy repository, a Microsoft Teams launch, and a move from a legacy phone system to Teams phones. Those projects led to significant cost savings and organizational improvement.”
What happens after
The roadmap belongs to you. Your team can carry it out on its own. If you'd like steady help, I can stay on as your fractional CTO. I'd provide monthly leadership, vendor oversight, and a quarterly report for your board. You decide after the briefing, and there's no obligation.
Frequently asked questions
