  • Cybersecurity Programs That Pass Audits and Fit Real Operations

     We help energy, chemical, and government organizations in Wyoming, Utah, and Northern Colorado build practical, audit-ready cybersecurity programs without big-firm complexity or price tags.

    • Gap assessments, prioritized roadmaps, policies, training, and optional ongoing vCISO support — all grounded in NERC-CIP, CMMC, NIST, and critical infrastructure realities.

    Proven at scale:

    • Led governance and data protection for Solvay Americas through the corporate split

    • CISSP certified

    • 15+ years securing industrial environments.

    Typical Investment:

    • $12k–$18k Assessment & Roadmap (4-6 weeks)

    • $25k–$45k Full Implementation (10 - 20 weeks)

    • $4k–$8k/mo Retainer

  • Turn Fragmented, Expensive IT Support Into One High-Performing, Cost-Effective Operation

    If you’re juggling multiple vendors, missing SLAs, or watching support costs climb while service stays mediocre, this is the fix. We consolidate your service desk and onsite support model, renegotiate or replace vendors, redesign SLAs/KPIs, and deliver cost reduction with measurably better performance.

    What you get:

    • Full current-state assessment and spend audit

    • Vendor consolidation strategy and contract renegotiation

    • SLA/KPI dashboards and governance

    • Transition project management through go-live

    • Optional Knowledge Management Implementation add-on (highly recommended — turns one-time savings into permanent efficiency)

    Proven results:

    • Consolidated 6 regional providers into one global contract for 250+ resources across 50+ countries

    • Managed $4M annual IT support contract with repeated 5/10/20% cost-saving options

    • Delivered business continuity and SLA wins through acquisitions and divestitures

    Typical Investment:

    • Core Transformation – $18,000 – $45,000 (6–12 weeks)

    • Knowledge Management Add-on – $10,000 – $22,000 (adds 4–8 weeks, delivers ongoing efficiency gains)

  • Stop Losing Knowledge When People Leave — Build a Living Knowledge Base That Actually Gets Used

    Description:

    Your best fixes and processes live in people’s heads or scattered files. We implement a formal Knowledge Management program so knowledge is captured as a natural part of daily work, centralized, and made searchable for your entire team and end users.

    What you get:

    • Knowledge Management methodology rollout

    • Migration of existing knowledge libraries into your ITSM tool

    • Ownership structures, publication/review workflows, and coaching

    • Self-service enablement and continuous improvement loop

    Proven results:

    • Centralized knowledge from multiple platforms into BMC Helix for global use across IT, HR, Finance, and Purchasing

    • Defined ownership and processes that are still running years later

    • Delivered measurable reduction in repeat incidents and faster onboarding

    Typical Investment:

    • Full Knowledge Program Build – $12,000 – $25,000 (6–10 weeks)

    • (Recommended as add-on to a service desk assessment)
