Case Studies & Testimonals
Case Study: Capex to Opex Transformation
Overview:
A well-known New Zealand retailer was preparing for a significant infrastructure maintenance extension. The options on the table were largely traditional, capital-heavy models, with limited flexibility and few practical alternatives.The Challenge:
The customer needed to extend the life and supportability of critical infrastructure, but a standard upfront investment did not sit comfortably with their budget cycle or the way they wanted to manage future IT spend.The customer was balancing:
- Limited capital budget and competing priorities
- A desire to avoid increasing internal operational overhead
- Uncertainty around future growth and capacity requirementsTraditional procurement models would have required them to commit early and heavily, which did not align with how they wanted to manage risk, cash flow, or future technology decisions.Our Approach:
Rather than treating it as a straightforward maintenance renewal, I stepped back and looked at what the customer was actually trying to achieve: continuity, flexibility, and a more manageable commercial model.Working closely with their team, I:- Reviewed the full cost of ownership across support, lifecycle, operational effort, and future scaling scenarios
- Identified where the environment could be simplified without putting performance, availability, or supportability at risk
- Developed a Platform-as-a-Service model that gave the customer a clearer, more predictable operating cost
- Structured the solution so they could avoid a large upfront capital commitment while still maintaining the service levels they neededThe focus was on creating a practical model that worked for the customer commercially, while still giving their IT team confidence in the performance and reliability of the environment.The Outcome:
The customer moved forward with a model that better suited how they operate today, while giving them more room to make future decisions as their requirements evolve:- Avoided the need for a large upfront capital investment
- Gained a more predictable monthly cost profile
- Improved flexibility to scale or adjust as business needs change
- Reduced pressure on internal teams by simplifying support and lifecycle managementMost importantly, the customer was able to move ahead with confidence. The final model supported their current infrastructure needs, reduced capital pressure, and gave them a more flexible way to manage future IT investment.

Case Study: Restoring Client Compliance Through Integrity
Overview
A long‑standing client unknowingly became non‑compliant with their software licensing after following incorrect guidance from a global vendor. This exposed them to significant financial and operational risk, and they were unaware of the issue until we identified it during a routine review.The Challenge
The situation created immediate concern for the customer:- Exposure to potential audit and financial penalties
- Conflicting information from different parties
- Limited clarity around ownership and resolutionWhat made it more difficult was that the issue had arisen through no fault of their own, they had acted on the advice they’d been given.The Approach
From the outset, I focused on taking ownership and providing clarity:- Informed the customer immediately, clearly outlining the risk and proposed next steps
- Coordinated across vendor and distribution channels to establish an accurate position
- Managed ongoing discussions and escalations, including engaging international stakeholders when required
- Maintained consistent, transparent communication over the full course of the issueThe priority throughout was simple: ensure the customer was treated fairly and kept fully informed at every stage.The Outcome
After a complex six-month process, the issue was successfully resolved:- The customer was returned to a fully compliant position
- Potential financial exposure was significantly reduced
- Audit risk was removedJust as importantly, the way the situation was handled strengthened the relationship. The customer had clear visibility throughout and confidence that their interests were being represented, particularly in a situation where accountability was not straightforward.
