2026 close · 2027 IT plan

Close the year with your technology reviewed and 2027 already planned

November and December are the best time to put your IT in order before the year starts: review costs and renewals, close the risks left open and leave a clear roadmap for 2027. We do it with you, with technology leadership and a single point of contact.

Why now

Year-end is the window to decide

It's when budgets close, contracts and licenses expire, and the next year is planned. Reaching January with renewals reviewed and a plan on the table avoids last-minute decisions and spending that wasn't needed. An orderly review now pays off all year.

What we review

The year-end review, point by point

Costs & licensing

Active licenses nobody uses, duplicated tools and forgotten subscriptions. Reviewing them before renewing usually pays for itself.

Security & access

Who has access to what, MFA, and access for people who have left. Closing what was left open during the year.

Backups & continuity

Checking backups can actually be restored, not just that they exist. Testing it before you need it.

Renewals & contracts

Which contracts expire early in the year and are worth renegotiating with time, not in a January rush.

Inventory & obsolescence

Devices and systems falling short or out of support, to budget for in 2027.

Risks & dependencies

Documenting what's critical so nothing depends on one person or one vendor.

2027 plan

And a roadmap for the year ahead

With the close reviewed, we leave an orderly plan for 2027: priorities, investments and budget, aligned with business goals. It's the basis of CTO as a Service, someone who decides technology with judgment and a three-year vision, not just for January.

How we start

An assessment now, the plan before 2027 starts

We start with a conversation and a quick assessment of your situation. From there we give you the year-end review and a proposed 2027 plan. No commitment, and in time before the year ends.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this only for your clients?
No. We do the year-end review and the 2027 plan for companies that don't work with us yet too.
Does the initial review cost anything?
The first conversation and situation assessment are free. If there's work to do, we send you a proposal before starting.
Is there time before the year ends?
Yes. The assessment takes days; we close the 2027 plan between December and early January.

Shall we review your close and prepare 2027?

A first conversation to understand your situation and suggest the next step. No commitment.
