Clear technology decisions, and systems that keep working.
We help you understand what you have, decide what to do next and keep your systems dependable after delivery, in plain language that executives and engineers can both act on.
The challenge
When the next step isn't obvious
Good decisions early save the most money later.
- You are weighing a significant technology investment and need independent advice.
- Different suppliers recommend different solutions, and you cannot compare them.
- A project is under way and you want someone to check it is on track.
- A live system depends on one person, or on nobody at all.
What we deliver
What Medici Labs delivers
Technology strategy and technical assessments
An honest review of your systems, risks and bottlenecks, written so both executives and technical staff can use it.
Solution architecture and system selection
A clear recommendation on what to build, buy or integrate, based on your requirements rather than a vendor preference.
Digital transformation and modernisation roadmaps
A prioritised, realistic plan with stages, dependencies and rough effort, so investment goes where it matters first.
Technical project delivery and implementation support
Hands-on help to deliver a project, or independent oversight of your internal team or another supplier.
Application maintenance and ongoing technical support
Agreed support for live systems, covering fixes, updates and small improvements, so continuity does not depend on one person.
Outputs
What you receive from a consulting engagement
Outputs you can use, whether or not you work with us afterwards.
- An assessment. What you run today, how healthy it is and where the risks sit.
- A recommendation. The options considered, the trade-offs and the reasons for our advice.
- A roadmap. Prioritised steps, dependencies and the decisions needed from you.
- A hand-over. Written findings and, where relevant, a briefing for your team or board.
Use cases
Typical applications
Examples of what organisations in Kenya and across Africa often need.
- Choosing between custom software and an existing product
- Reviewing a system before a major investment or acquisition
- Preparing a modernisation or digital transformation plan
- Independent oversight of a supplier or internal build
- Ongoing support for a live business application
- Preparing data and processes before automation or AI
Support
Support after delivery
Systems need care once they go live. We offer agreed maintenance and support options, so fixes, updates and small improvements have an owner.
The scope, hours and response arrangements are agreed with you in writing for each engagement, based on how critical the system is to your business.
Our approach
How a consulting engagement runs
Short, focused and independent.
Understand
Interview stakeholders and review systems and documents.
Design
Shape options and architecture against your requirements.
Build
Where needed, help deliver or oversee the agreed work.
Validate
Check results against the plan and agreed criteria.
Deploy
Support the rollout and brief the people affected.
Support
Maintain live systems under agreed arrangements.
Our work
Relevant work
Choosing between custom software and an existing product. A growing business is unsure whether to build or buy a new operations system. We compare requirements, costs and risks, then recommend an option with a staged plan.
This is an illustrative scenario, not a completed client project. Relevant examples are available on request.
