Consult: clarify the problem before you commit delivery spend
You have a problem but not yet a solution. Consult gives you a senior BD-S practitioner, a structured discovery method and a costed, delivery-ready recommendation you can take to a steering committee or a procurement process.
When this starts
You have a problem but not yet a solution
A legacy system nobody wants to touch, a compliance date with no technical path, a licensed platform nobody has switched on, or a program that produced a report instead of a system. You need someone to understand the current state, weigh the options and say plainly what to do next.
What BD-S provides
What a Consult engagement gives you
Options analysis and architecture
Configure-first options on Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Salesforce, Azure and Fabric, with Australian data residency and the trade-offs stated plainly.
Roadmap and business case support
A sequenced roadmap with indicative effort and cost, so you can fund the next stage with evidence rather than estimates.
Governance and executive advice
Independent architecture review, assurance on an existing program, or a senior adviser alongside your CIO or program lead.
Typical deliverables
What you receive
- Current-state assessment, including what is undocumented
- Options analysis with a recommended option
- Target architecture and data residency position

When this model fits
Choose Consult when
- The problem is clear but the solution is not

- A program has stalled and needs an independent view
- A platform, licensing or AI decision is coming up
Discover, Deliver, Operate
Where Consult sits in the lifecycle
Consult is the Discover stage. It ends with a scope that can be delivered as a Project, by your own team with Augment specialists, or by another supplier.
