Consulting
Advisory that moves an organisation from where it is to where it needs to be.
We advise on the work that decides whether a transformation holds: how projects are run, how processes are shaped, and how the technology beneath them is chosen and arranged. The engagement is measured and vendor-neutral — the recommendation serves the organisation, never a product.
Project and process consulting, and digital transformation
We structure projects so that intent survives contact with reality — clear scope, honest sequencing, and decisions made when they are cheapest to make. The aim is a transformation that the organisation can carry itself once we step back.
Process work begins by understanding how the organisation actually runs, not how a diagram says it should. From there we mirror the established way of working into a digital form that is faster and clearer while remaining recognisably its own.
IT infrastructure and cloud architecture advisory
Infrastructure and cloud decisions are long-lived and expensive to reverse, so we treat them as architecture rather than procurement. We assess the existing estate, weigh the trade-offs plainly, and recommend an arrangement that is durable, observable, and within the organisation's means to operate.
The result is a deliberate target architecture and a defensible path toward it — vendor-neutral, sized to real needs, and documented clearly enough to withstand scrutiny.
Governance, risk, compliance, and information security
We advise on governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) and on information security — the discipline of running an organisation so that it can demonstrate, not merely assert, that it is in control. The work is led by the founder as a certified Information Security Manager (on the basis of ISO/IEC 27001 and BSI IT-Grundschutz), grounded in years inside regulated and mission-critical environments where being auditable is a precondition rather than an afterthought.
This includes data-protection and personal-data (PII) advisory — mapping what personal data an organisation holds, on what basis, and how to minimise, secure, and account for it — and advisory toward an information-security management system in the spirit of ISO/IEC 27001: risk assessment, controls, documentation, and the evidence trail that withstands due-diligence scrutiny. The certification is the founder's own credential; the advisory helps an organisation build and run its own ISMS, and implies no certification that xi2ix itself holds.
