A clear roadmap
Know what to build, in what order and why, before you commit budget.
Technology Consulting
IT & Technology Consulting for Better Business Operations
Before you spend money on software, get clear on the problem. Auris Nexus maps how your operation really works, where time and money are leaking, and which technology will actually fix it. You leave with a practical roadmap, scope and budget. We provide IT and technology consulting for SMEs and growing businesses in Johannesburg, Sandton and across South Africa.
What consulting covers
- Business discovery with the people who run the work
- Process mapping of how work, approvals and information really flow
- An assessment of the systems, spreadsheets and tools you already use
- Build, buy or configure recommendations, compared on cost and fit
- Solution architecture for data, integrations, access and security
- A phased roadmap with scope, budget ranges and priorities
Where it usually starts
- You know something needs fixing, but not what to build
- You have software quotes that all look different and can't compare them
- A critical process is held together by spreadsheets and email
- You bought a system the team doesn't really use
- The business is growing faster than its current tools
Realistic scope and cost
A defined scope with costs in rand, so you can plan and compare properly.
Advice that fits the problem
We recommend the technology that fits your operation, not technology for its own sake.
How an engagement works
From business problem to a costed technology roadmap
A consulting engagement follows six steps. Smaller engagements combine them into a few workshops; larger ones run over several weeks.
Discovery
We start with the business, not the software: goals, pain points, constraints and what success should look like. We speak to the people who do the work, not only the people who sign it off.
Process mapping
We map how a process actually runs today, including the workarounds, re-capturing, approvals and hand-offs, so the real bottlenecks and costs are visible.
Systems assessment
We review your current systems, spreadsheets, data and integrations, and identify what to keep, what to connect and what is holding the business back.
Build or buy recommendations
We compare off-the-shelf products, configuring what you already own and custom development, on cost, fit, risk and long-term ownership. Sometimes the right answer is not to build anything.
Solution architecture
For the recommended option we define the architecture: modules, data model, integrations, user roles, access control, hosting and POPIA considerations.
Phased roadmap
You receive a practical roadmap that breaks the work into phases, each with a defined scope, budget range and measurable outcome, so value arrives early and spend stays controlled.
What you receive
- A current-state process map and a list of the problems worth solving first
- A systems assessment with keep, integrate and replace recommendations
- A build or buy comparison with indicative costs in rand
- A target architecture you can hand to any delivery team
- A phased roadmap with scope, budget ranges and success measures for each phase
