The problem
Data migrations, system consolidations, archiving decisions, and cleanup projects need senior judgement. But hiring a full consultancy means paying for an account team, and software vendors will always recommend their own platform. Many organisations just need experienced, independent specialists who will look at the problem and give a straight answer.
How we solve it
- Day-rate consulting. Practitioner-level engagement scoped to the problem, not padded into a program of work.
- Vendor-neutral advice. No software to sell and no preferred platform. Recommendations are based on what fits your situation.
- Delivery, not just advice. Because consulting sits alongside our extraction, recovery, and forensics capability, we can execute the plan, not just write it.
- Retainers. Ongoing arrangements for organisations with recurring data-processing needs, such as standing support for a firm's regular workload.
Typical engagements
- Migration planning when moving off legacy systems without losing or corrupting decades of records.
- System consolidation when mergers or growth leave data scattered across incompatible platforms.
- Archiving strategy for deciding what to keep, in what form, and how to keep it accessible and compliant.
- Data cleanup when the data exists but is too inconsistent, duplicated, or disorganised to trust.
What you get
Clear, independent recommendations backed by more than 20 years of hands-on IT experience, with the option to have ABAR carry the work through to delivery.
