Sound familiar?
Is your IT driving the business,
or is it the other way round?
Without a plan, technology decisions get made in reaction to problems. That's when they cost the most.
Renewals and refreshes catch you off guard.
Licences, warranties and hardware all seem to expire at once, with no budget set aside.
Every project is urgent, and nobody owns the plan.
Technology decisions get made one problem at a time, by whoever is closest to it.
You can't say what you'll spend next year.
IT costs arrive as surprises rather than a forecast the board can plan around.
Security is a worry, not a plan.
You know the risks are there. You don't know which ones matter most or what to fix first.
Leadership is asking about AI and cloud.
The questions are fair. Answering them needs someone looking beyond day-to-day support.
Too many vendors, no single view.
Each supplier knows their piece. Nobody is looking at how it all fits together.
Good IT isn't just well supported. It's well planned.
What you get
A plan you can act on.
Not a hundred-page report that sits in a drawer. Practical, prioritised work your business can fund and deliver.
Current-state assessment
A clear-eyed review of your environment, security, licensing and suppliers. What's working, what isn't, and what's at risk.
Technology roadmap
A prioritised plan across the next one to three years, tied to your business goals and set out in plain English.
Lifecycle and budget forecast
When hardware, warranties and licences are due, and what they'll cost, so there are no surprises at budget time.
Security and risk alignment
Your biggest risks ranked by impact, with the steps to close them built into the roadmap.
Cloud and on-premise balance
The right mix for your workloads, chosen for security, cost and performance, not fashion.
Vendor and licensing strategy
The right licences at the right level, fewer overlapping tools, and one view across every supplier.
How we work
From plan to delivery, with one team.
Most strategy work ends when the report is handed over. Ours doesn't. The people who write your roadmap are the people who help you deliver it.
Assess & advise
We start with your business goals and a review of your current environment.
Define & design
We build the roadmap and design the solutions, with security and scalability built in.
Build & implement
Our engineers deliver the plan, with clear milestones and decision points.
Manage & support
We keep it running and keep it current, reviewing the roadmap as your business changes.
A living plan: your roadmap is reviewed every quarter, so it keeps pace with your business instead of going out of date.
Virtual CIO
Senior IT leadership, without the executive salary.
Our vCIO service gives you an experienced technology lead who sits alongside your leadership team, owns the roadmap and makes sure every IT dollar is working for the business.
Why Aeris
Strategy from people who deliver it.
FOUNDED ON
Compliance and audit
It's how Aeris started. Every recommendation is documented, justified and ready for scrutiny by your board, auditors or insurers.
THE RIGHT SIZE
Big capability, boutique pace
The end-to-end capability of a large provider, with a team small enough to move quickly and know your business.
ACCOUNTABLE TO
Your business outcomes
We start from what the business needs, then choose the technology. Not the other way round.
Questions
Before you book
Do we need to be a managed services client?
No. We provide IT strategy and vCIO services on their own, or alongside Premium Care managed services if you'd like one team for both.
What does a strategy session involve?
A conversation with your leadership team about where the business is heading, what's slowing you down and what keeps you up at night. From there we recommend the right next step.
How long does a roadmap take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your environment. After the first session, we'll give you a clear scope and timeline.
We already have an IT team. Is this for us?
Yes. Many internal IT teams are busy keeping things running. A vCIO adds strategic capacity and an outside view, and works alongside your team, not over the top of it.
Will you recommend products you sell?
We recommend what fits your business, including keeping what you have where it still makes sense. Every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it.
How often is the roadmap reviewed?
Every quarter, as part of a strategy review. Priorities change, and the plan should change with them.
Start with a conversation
Where should your technology be in three years?
Book a strategy session. We'll talk about where your business is heading, and show you what it will take for your technology to get there.
