The IWH Partnership Model
Not a Vendor. A Partner.
We don't sell projects. We build long-term partnerships that transform how your organisation thinks about technology.
The Status Quo
The Problem with IT Consulting
The conventional model is broken. Here's why most IT consulting relationships fail to deliver lasting value.
Knowledge Gaps
Project-based engagements end. The consultant leaves, taking institutional knowledge with them. The next engagement starts from scratch.
Rotating Faces
Different consultants on every engagement means no one ever understands your business deeply. You spend more time explaining than solving.
Reactive by Design
Traditional support waits for things to break. Problems are always surprises, never anticipated. Your IT is perpetually fighting fires.
Strategic Disconnect
IT decisions happen in isolation from business goals. Technology investments don't align with where the organisation is headed.
Our Philosophy
The IWH Way
We rejected the conventional model. Instead, we built something that actually works.
Your Dedicated IT Strategist
IWH integrates into your management team as your dedicated IT strategist. One relationship, one advisor, across all domains: infrastructure, security, web, compliance.
Why Before How
The 'Why' always comes before the 'How.' We understand your business needs, constraints, and ambitions before proposing any technology solution.
Advisory-Level Involvement
We sit at the decision table, not in the server room. Board presentations, budget planning, vendor evaluation — strategic involvement where it matters.
Single Point of Accountability
One relationship that covers everything. No juggling multiple vendors, no gaps between disciplines, no conflicting advice.
Long-Term Thinking
Every decision considers where your organisation will be in 3-5 years. We build for the future, not just for today's problem.
