Cape Pebble

The turnkey journey

Audit, propose, implement. Then follow up.

The business leader does not have to coordinate an IT outsourcer, an integrator and an agency. Cape Pebble takes the question end to end: Augustin delivers himself or with identified partners, and hands you the keys.

  1. 01

    Audit of what you have

    2 to 3 weeks

    We look at everything that keeps the business running.

    Processes, tools, data, infrastructure, security, costs, skills, compliance. Interviews with you and 4 to 8 key people, job shadowing, read access to the tools, technical inventory, cost survey. Positioning on the Cape Pebble Scale.

    What you get

    • Factual assessment (30 to 40 pages)
    • Map of processes ↔ tools ↔ data
    • Risk register (security, compliance, dependency, key person)
    • Inventory of annual costs
    • Four-axis maturity map

    See an example before you order

    A complete audit report on a fictional company, exactly as it would be handed to you: findings with their evidence, what could not be verified, the risk register, the needs matrix. 26 pages, appendices not included.

    Sample audit report (PDF, 26 pages, in French)

    CHF 6,900 excl. VAT up to 30 people

  2. 02

    Solutions plan

    Weeks 3 and 4, included

    Prioritised needs, one solution per need, a costing, a decision.

    Each need is prioritised (impact, urgency, feasibility). For each one: the solution retained and the alternatives set aside (keep, improve, replace, build), the set-up cost, the recurring cost, the expected gain, the lead time. A roadmap in three waves (90 days, 6 months, 12 months) and a budget. Presented to the managing director or the executive committee, decisions recorded.

    What you get

    • Solutions plan (15 to 20 pages)
    • One-page sheet per solution
    • Three-wave roadmap and budget
    • Decision material for the executive committee

    Price

    Included in the audit

    If no solution pays off, the plan says so, and Cape Pebble proposes nothing further.

The Cape Pebble commitments

What is written into every proposal.

  1. 01

    Price stated before we start

    Written fixed prices, no day-rate billing in disguise. You know what you are paying before day one.

  2. 02

    One figure before, one figure after

    Every solution has an indicator agreed together and measured. No measurement, no assignment.

  3. 03

    You keep the keys

    Code, access, documentation and training are handed over to you. Cape Pebble must be able to disappear without anything stopping.

  4. 04

    Complete independence

    No licences resold, no commission from any software vendor, host or integrator. The advice has only one client: you.

  5. 05

    The truth about profitability

    If a solution does not pay for itself, the plan says so, and Cape Pebble does not propose it.
