Why clients choose Orbits for advisory work
Impartial by design
We do not resell licences on commission, so the recommendation is the recommendation.
Plans that survive contact
Every roadmap is costed, sequenced and owned — not a slide deck.
We stay for delivery
The team that advises is the team that implements, so nothing is lost in handover.
What clients ask before they start
How long does an assessment take?
Two to three weeks for most estates, including interviews, tooling review and a costed roadmap.
Do we have to use you for delivery?
No. The roadmap is yours to run with, in-house or with another partner.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee for the assessment, so you know the number before we start.
