Why DV Advisory

Oversight without self-interest

Your IT partner earns from what they sell. We don't — we only look at what is in your interest.

100% independent

No reselling of hardware, software or subscriptions. Advice without commission or vested interest.

Senior, broadly experienced

Years of IT experience across infrastructure, security, contracts and data — one point of contact, no juniors.

Fixed price, fixed scope

Every scan has a defined price and lead time. No billing by the hour, no surprises.

Who it's for

Built for operational SMEs

Companies with multiple sites or one central IT environment, a fixed IT partner and dozens of employees — that is where real optimisation potential sits.

Smaller team? Our full scans deliver the most value from 50+ employees, multiple sites or one central IT environment, and an IT partner on a fixed monthly fee. For smaller companies there is the IT Quickcheck — a quick review and advice tailored to your situation.

Action or follow-up

You decide: implement yourself, or DV Advisory as recurring IT governance.

Larger company, or a need for execution instead of a scan? For interim IT leadership, transition management and the turnaround of IT organisations there is DV Advisory Consulting — mandates of 3 to 18 months for mid-sized and large companies.
