Strategy from people who ship what they recommend.
Most IT consultancies hand you a slide deck and disappear. Augusta's advisory work comes from engineers who've shipped at scale — so the strategy you get is implementable, measured, and doesn't fall apart on contact with reality.
- Stakeholder & system audit
- Architecture review & ADRs
- Vendor selection & RFP support
- Digital transformation roadmap
- ICT investment business case
- Board / steering committee briefings
- Implementation oversight (optional)
Strategy you can execute Monday.
Most strategy decks are aspirational. Ours come with implementation diagrams, vendor names, cost ranges, and risks named with mitigations. Because we're going to have to live with the recommendation if you ask us to.
We charge for our advisory and stake our reputation on it. We won't recommend our own implementation services unless they're the right answer.
Practitioners, not deck-makers
Every advisor is a senior engineer or architect who still ships. The recommendations you get come from people who'd have to build them.
Vendor-neutral
We don't have referral kickbacks with cloud vendors, ERP companies, or product suites. We recommend what works for you, not what pays us.
African market context
Strategy that accounts for local infrastructure, regulator behaviour, currency volatility, talent availability, and the specific quirks of operating in East Africa.
Fixed-price advisory
Our standard advisory engagements are fixed-price for the deliverable. No open-ended hourly billing on strategy work.
Where we advise.
Six advisory practices, all backed by hands-on delivery experience.
Architecture review
Independent assessment of your current architecture — what's working, what's not, what to refactor, and what to leave alone.
Digital transformation
Multi-year roadmaps that sequence investment, account for talent constraints, and survive board-level scrutiny.
Vendor selection
Honest RFP support — shortlists, scoring matrices, reference checks, and the questions vendors don't want you to ask.
ICT investment cases
Business cases for ICT spend that finance teams actually believe — with real cost models and realistic benefit estimates.
Programme oversight
Independent oversight of your in-flight projects — milestone reviews, risk identification, escalation support to leadership.
Org & talent advisory
Engineering team structure, hiring strategy, build-vs-buy frameworks for the East African talent market.
From question to plan.
Three phases. No five-week kickoffs that produce nothing.
Listen & investigate
Stakeholder interviews, system audit, document review. We end this phase with a synthesised model of your situation that you'll recognise as accurate.
Synthesise & recommend
Options on the table, not a single answer. Trade-offs explicit, not buried. Our recommendation defended with the reasoning, ready for executive challenge.
Brief & transition
Board / steering committee briefing, knowledge transfer, optional implementation oversight. Your team owns the plan from here.
Buyer questions.
The questions executives ask before engaging us as advisors.

Tell us what you're wrestling with. A 30-minute scoping call is free, and you'll leave it with at least one useful idea even if we don't end up working together.
