Tech Stack Consulting
Most businesses have tools they don't use, contracts that auto-renew, and no simple view of what the stack actually costs. We change that. Many clients then move into [SaaS migration](/services/saas-migration) once the roadmap is clear. If you're evaluating private code hosting, our [self-hosted Git overview](/services/self-hosted-git/) covers Gitea, Gogs, and GitLab alternatives.
What usually goes wrong
-Multiple tools that do the same job
-Per-seat pricing that grows faster than headcount
-No clear view of what each subscription actually costs
-Renewals that creep up every year
-Data stuck in tools you no longer want to use
What you get
+A written map of every tool, who uses it, and what it costs
+Open source alternatives matched to your actual workflow
+A migration plan you can act on immediately
+Advice on what to cut, consolidate, or replace
