Most IT consulting is whiteboard work. Ours has execution behind it.
Big 4 consulting will sell you a 200-page strategic roadmap. Boutique firms will sell you an architecture diagram. NETLINKS sells you advisory grounded in 20 years of actually shipping the things we recommend — Odoo rollouts, custom platforms, AI agents in production, cloud migrations at scale.
Common Virginia engagements: ERP advisory (when to replace, what to replace with, build vs buy), cloud strategy (AWS / Azure / GCP / hybrid, when to repatriate), AI roadmap (what's real, what's hype, where to start), enterprise architecture for mid-market companies outgrowing improvised stacks, vendor evaluation (especially Odoo / NetSuite / Dynamics decisions), and program-turnaround consulting for struggling implementations.
Virginia-local advantage: in-person workshops, on-site interviews with your team, board presentations when needed. Most of our Virginia advisory engagements include 2-3 in-person sessions over the duration.

— Questions
Virginia IT consulting — questions we hear.
How is your consulting different from Big 4?
Big 4 sells strategy; we sell strategy backed by execution credentials. Big 4 advisors are typically MBAs without recent hands-on build experience; our consulting partners have shipped the products they recommend. Our pricing is 30-50% less than Big 4 for equivalent scope.
What does a typical Virginia IT consulting engagement look like?
Most engagements are 1-4 weeks, $20-80K, fixed-fee. Output is a written assessment + recommendations + implementation roadmap. Some clients then engage NETLINKS for the implementation; others use the document to drive an RFP or in-house effort. We're independent in the consulting phase.
Do you do program turnaround consulting?
Yes — when an ERP or custom-software program is struggling, we engage as an independent diagnostic + re-plan team. Typical: 4-6 weeks of structured assessment, ending in a re-planned program (new schedule, new team structure, new governance) you can execute with us or with the existing vendor.
Are you a small business?
Yes — NETLINKS Inc is a small business by SBA standards. Specific federal-contracting certifications and vehicle availability on request.
How do I get started?
30-min discovery → scoped proposal → engagement. For consulting and staff aug, fastest path is a 1-week scoping call followed by a fixed-fee engagement letter.
