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.
