Independent technology advisory

Strategy for organisations where the hard problems are technical.

Innolution is a small independent consultancy providing technology strategy, enterprise architecture and AI advisory. We take on a limited number of engagements, working directly with the people making the decisions.

Established 2007 Independent — no vendor affiliations
What we do

Three kinds of engagement

Advisory rather than delivery. We help organisations decide what to build, how to structure it, and where the risks sit — then hand over to teams who execute.

Technology strategy

Direction-setting for organisations facing a build, buy or rebuild decision.

  • Current-state assessment
  • Target architecture and roadmap
  • Build vs buy analysis
  • Delivery risk assessment

Enterprise architecture

Structural design for systems that need to survive contact with scale and regulation.

  • Architecture review and design
  • Data architecture and governance
  • Integration and platform strategy
  • Resilience and operational risk

AI advisory

Practical guidance on where AI genuinely helps, and where it introduces more risk than value.

  • Use case identification and triage
  • Build, host or buy decisions
  • Data governance and privacy
  • Deployment and hosting options
Sectors

Where we work

We focus on sectors where technology decisions carry regulatory, financial or operational consequence — and where an independent view is worth more than a vendor's.

Financial services

Investment managers, trading firms and fintech businesses — with particular attention to data handling, operational resilience and the constraints that regulation places on architecture.

Technology and software

Product and technology companies making platform, scaling or re-architecture decisions where an outside perspective is useful.

Applied AI

Organisations evaluating where AI fits their business, and what the data governance and operational implications look like in practice.

Approach

How we work

Small, senior and independent. The person you meet is the person who does the work.

Independent by design
No reseller agreements, no vendor commissions, no implementation arm and no procurement role. Our recommendation is not shaped by what we would be paid to build afterwards.
Senior only
Engagements are led and delivered by the same person throughout. No pyramid, no handover to a junior team after the pitch.
Deliberately limited capacity
Engagements are taken on selectively and on a part-time basis. This keeps attention genuine and avoids the conflicts that come with a crowded client list.
Scoped and finite
Most engagements are short and defined — an assessment, a decision, a review. We are not looking to embed indefinitely.
