Technology partner for small and mid-sized business

You run the business. We run the technology.

We put AI to work inside the systems you already use, connect the ones that don't talk to each other, and give you a CIO for the days you need one. It starts with a written roadmap, and the roadmap is free.

VectorShift
  • No enterprise retainer, no year-long programme.
  • We work with the tools your team already knows.
  • You own everything we build.

AI integration

Start where the work is repetitive.

Most AI projects fail because they start with the technology. We start with the four or five tasks that eat your team's week, then automate the ones that hold up under scrutiny.

Everything runs against your real data, inside your existing accounts. You see the cost before we build.

Find your first use case

Quotes and proposals

Draft from your price book and past jobs, so a quote takes minutes instead of an afternoon.

Inbound documents

Invoices, purchase orders and forms read, checked and filed into your finance system.

Customer enquiries

Sorted, routed and answered from your own documentation, with a person on anything unusual.

Reporting

One set of numbers, pulled from every system, on your desk each Monday morning.

What we do

Six practices. Most engagements use two or three of them.

AI integration and automation

Start here

Automate the repetitive work first. We build against your data, measure the time saved, and stop when it stops paying.

Fractional CIO

Senior technology leadership on a day a week. Budgets, vendors, hiring and the plan that ties them together.

Technology strategy and roadmap

A written plan for the next 12 months: what to fix, what to replace, what to leave alone, and what each costs.

Systems and data integration

Your CRM, finance and operations tools, connected. One record of the truth instead of four spreadsheets.

Cloud migration and modernization

Move off the server in the cupboard and the software nobody supports, without stopping the business.

Cybersecurity and compliance

Close the gaps that fail an insurance form or a customer audit. Plain-English findings, ranked by risk.

Fractional CIO

The technology decisions are already yours. The experience doesn't have to be.

A 40-person company rarely needs a full-time CIO. It does need someone who has done this before, in the room when the budget, the contract and the hiring decision get made.

We own the plan

One roadmap, reviewed each quarter, tied to what the business is trying to do this year.

We handle the vendors

Contracts read, renewals challenged, licences you stopped using cancelled.

We brief your board

Spend, risk and progress in language a finance director can act on.

We build your team

Hire the two people who matter, and stop paying for the ones you don't need yet.

How we work

Three ways in. Most clients start with the first and choose one of the others afterwards.

01

Assessment

We look at your systems, spend and the work your team repeats. You get a written roadmap you can act on with or without us.

Free

02

Project

One thing off the roadmap, scoped to a fixed price and a fixed date. An automation, a migration, an integration.

Fixed scope and price

03

Fractional CIO

Ongoing leadership on a set number of days each month, with delivery capacity behind it when you need to build.

Monthly, cancel with 30 days
