Automation and AI adoption for modern IT infrastructure
The Infrastructure & AI Readiness Assessment is a fixed-scope engagement. Every system and subscription you run gets accounted for, each one gets a call of fix, replace or own outright, and you find out where automation and AI genuinely fit in your operation and where they do not belong yet.
You come away with a written roadmap in priority order. It is yours to act on, with me or without me.
One hour, by video, no obligation and no pitch deck. You tell me how your organization actually runs: the systems, the subscriptions, what breaks, and what you are renting that you could own. I ask the questions I would ask on day one of a paid engagement.
You should come away with insight, not a sales pitch. That is the point of the hour.
What you leave with
An hour is an hour. Anything that needs your systems properly inventoried is the paid engagement below.
The stages do not change with the size of the organization. Only their depth and breadth do. One method, one report format, no surprises about what arrives at the end.
Headcount and departments, your system list as you understand it, the subscription invoices, who owns what, and what is already hurting. This happens in the free discovery session, before anything is signed, and it is what sets the scope and the price.
Interviews with your people and a walkthrough of the systems as they are actually used, not as the org chart describes them. Every system, subscription, licence line, integration and manual workaround gets written down, along with the name of the person who depends on it.
Each system gets a call: fix, replace or own. Spend is totalled per system and per year, including the licences nobody remembered. Dependencies and risk are laid out as a zone and stability map, the same method I run on production infrastructure daily, so you can see which parts of your operation are load-bearing and which are not.
Where automation and AI genuinely earn their place, with the prerequisites named honestly: data hygiene, access control, and the governance you need before anything touches real records. You also get the explicit list of what is not ready and why, which is usually the more valuable half.
A written report you can hand to a board, a council or an owner without translating it first, followed by a live readout. It ends in a prioritized sequence with costed next steps, so the decision afterwards is a decision and not another discovery exercise.
Mapped by zone & stability tier
A twelve-person office does not need the engagement a health authority needs. Duration below is my working days on the engagement, not calendar time, because what stretches a timeline is scheduling interviews, not the analysis.
3 working days
Up to roughly 15 people, one location, under roughly 10 core systems, no dedicated IT staff.
Usually inside one week.
5 to 7 working days
Roughly 15 to 75 people, one or two locations, 10 to 30 systems, perhaps one IT generalist on staff.
Two to three weeks.
Up to 10 working days
75 or more people, multiple sites or departments, 30 or more systems, regulated or resident data, or a public-sector reporting cycle.
Three to five weeks, aligned to your board or council cycle.
Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed in writing before the first day. Assessments start at $2,000. Your scope and price are set in the discovery session, so you know both before you commit to anything.
The roadmap is written so your own people could execute it. If you would rather run it yourself, that is a legitimate outcome and the report is built for it.
Deliverables, every engagement
Scope discipline
How many people are in your organization, and roughly how many systems and subscriptions are you paying for? That is enough to put you in the right scope before we even talk. Bring your subscription invoices to the discovery session and the hour will be worth more.
