You can't fix what you can't see.
Most small businesses are running on a patchwork of tools nobody fully understands. A technology assessment gives you a clear, honest look at what you're actually working with, what it's costing you, and what needs to change.
I take a hard look at every piece of technology your business is running and tell you what's worth keeping, what's bleeding money, and what's putting you at risk. No sugarcoating.
Every tool, every subscription, every hidden cost.
You signed up for a CRM three years ago. Then a project management tool. Then a different email platform. Then your agency set up hosting somewhere you've never logged into. Now you're paying for 15 subscriptions, half of them overlap, and nobody can tell you what you're actually getting for your money.
A technology assessment cuts through all of that. I look at every tool, every integration, every vendor relationship, and every process that touches technology in your business. You get a complete picture of where you stand and a clear plan for where to go next.
This is the starting point for any meaningful technology improvement. Before you buy another tool or hire another vendor, you need to know what you've already got.
What I look at:
Software & SaaS Stack
Every subscription, every license, every tool. What you're paying, what you're using, and where the overlap is.
Integrations & Data Flow
How your systems talk to each other (or don't). Where data gets stuck, duplicated, or lost between tools.
Infrastructure & Hosting
Where your sites and apps live, how they're configured, and whether your hosting setup can handle your growth.
Security Posture
Access controls, password policies, data backup practices, and the basics that keep your business protected.
Vendor Relationships
What you're paying each vendor, what you're getting in return, and whether those contracts still make sense.
Process & Workflow
Where your team is doing things manually that should be automated, and where technology is creating more work instead of less.
The problems hiding in your tech stack.
Every business I assess has at least a few of these. Most have more than they expect.
Duplicate Tools
Two or three tools doing the same job because nobody realized the overlap. That adds up fast.
Unused Subscriptions
You're paying monthly for tools your team stopped using six months ago. It happens to everyone.
Integration Gaps
Your CRM doesn't talk to your email tool. Your invoicing system doesn't sync with your books. Manual data entry fills the gaps.
Security Blind Spots
Shared passwords, no two-factor authentication, former employees who still have access. Basic gaps that create real risk.
Vendor Lock-In
You're stuck with a platform because migrating feels impossible. Meanwhile, you're overpaying for features you don't need.
No Backup Plan
If your hosting goes down or your database gets corrupted, do you know how to recover? Most small businesses don't.
Outgrown Tools
The tool that worked when you had 5 employees is now slowing down a team of 25. It's time for something that scales.
Wasted IT Spend
Premium tiers, enterprise licenses, and add-ons you're paying for but not using. The average small business wastes 25-30% of their software budget.
How a technology assessment works
No guesswork, no assumptions. I follow a proven process to give you a complete picture of your technology landscape.
Inventory
I catalog everything you're running: every SaaS subscription, every internal tool, every integration, every vendor relationship. Most businesses are surprised by what they find.
Evaluate
I dig into each system: Is it doing what it should? Are you paying for features nobody uses? Does it talk to your other tools? Where are the security gaps? I test it all.
Report
You get a clear, no-jargon report: what's working, what's wasting money, what's putting you at risk, and what to fix first. Every recommendation ties to a business outcome.
Roadmap
I don't just tell you what's wrong and walk away. I build a prioritized action plan: what to fix now, what to replace next quarter, and what can wait. Then I help you execute it.

Common questions about technology assessments
What is a technology assessment?
It's a thorough review of every piece of technology your business uses: software subscriptions, internal tools, integrations, hosting, security practices, and vendor relationships. The goal is to give you a clear picture of what's working, what's wasting money, and what needs to change.
How long does a tech stack audit take?
Most audits take 1-2 weeks depending on the size of your business and how many tools you're running. Simple setups with a handful of tools can be done in a week. Businesses with 15+ tools, multiple integrations, and legacy systems usually need two weeks for a thorough assessment.
What do I get at the end?
A clear, no-jargon report covering every tool and system you're running, what each one costs you, where the gaps and overlaps are, where your security risks live, and a prioritized action plan for what to fix first. It's written for business owners, not IT departments.
Is a technology assessment worth it for a small business?
Small businesses often benefit the most because they're the ones most likely to be overpaying for tools they don't fully use or running on systems that have outgrown their needs. Most of my assessment clients find enough wasted spend to more than cover the cost of the assessment itself.
Do you also fix the problems you find?
Yes. The assessment gives you the full picture, and then we can work together on the execution: replacing tools, setting up integrations, migrating data, negotiating with vendors, and everything else that needs to happen. I don't just hand you a report and disappear.
How is this different from an IT audit?
A traditional IT audit is usually focused on compliance checklists and technical specifications. My technology assessment is focused on business outcomes: what's costing you money, what's slowing your team down, and what's the clearest path to improvement. It's practical, not academic.
