Who hires us

Built for the way your team buys.

We've shaped this practice around the patterns we see most — match yours against the list.

  • BFSI executives

    CIOs, CTOs and Heads of Technology at banks, insurers and lending platforms making 7–8-figure platform decisions.

  • Enterprise IT leaders

    Multi-region enterprises facing modernisation, vendor consolidation or post-merger systems integration decisions.

  • Pre-Series-B scale-ups

    Need an architecture audit and scaling plan before the round closes. Often a 2-week sprint with a written board-ready output.

  • PE / VC investors

    Pre-acquisition tech due-diligence. Engineering team capability assessment. Post-deal integration plan.

  • Boards & audit committees

    Independent technical review of strategic technology decisions. CTO substitute or fractional architect for board reporting.

  • AI investment committees

    Companies allocating budget to AI/ML programmes — needing independent ROI and feasibility validation before spend.

Our process

How an engagement unfolds.

Transparent, milestone-driven, with clear owners and timeframes at every stage.

    30-minute call. We send a written engagement plan, fixed-price proposal and timeline within 1 business day. NDA on request.

  2. 02

    Discovery sprint

    Interviews, document review, technical deep-dives, vendor briefings, reference calls. Output: long-list of options and initial findings.

  3. 03

    Synthesis & scoring

    Options scored against your requirements. Total-cost-of-ownership model. Risk register. Vendor shortlist with reference contacts.

  4. 04

    Execution sponsorship

    We stay on as fractional architect during execution — managing the vendor, governance and quality bar. Or hand over to your team.

Service overview

In depth — how this practice runs.

The long-form view of what we build, how we sequence it, and the stacks we run.

Enterprise IT decisions are worth the cost of getting a senior second opinion — and cheaper than the cost of getting them wrong. Redian Software runs IT consulting as short, senior engagements grounded in nine years of production delivery across 200+ enterprises. CMMI Level 3 Appraised, ISO 27001 and 9001 certified, with consultants sitting inside our BFSI, insurance and enterprise-operations practices rather than a generic advisory tower.

What we deliver

  • Target-state architecture — reference architecture for a bank, insurer or enterprise IT estate five years out, with a sequenced migration path from where you are.
  • Vendor and platform selection — structured evaluation of core banking, PAS, ERP, CRM, contact centre, data platform or cloud provider against your actual constraints.
  • IT operating model — governance, delivery, run and vendor management model designed to fit the scale of your organisation.
  • Cost and TCO reviews — independent TCO on packaged platforms (Finacle, Flexcube, T24, Salesforce, Zoho, Odoo, ServiceNow, SAP) modelled against a custom or hybrid alternative.
  • Programme rescue reviews — independent diagnostic on a stalled or over-budget programme, with a written remediation plan.
  • Regulator readiness — controls, audit trails and evidence packs mapped against RBI, IRDAI, SEBI, FCA, CBK, CBUAE, NAICOM and equivalents.

Who we build this for

  • Bank, insurer and enterprise CIOs preparing a multi-year technology plan
  • Boards and audit committees needing an independent read before a large capex decision
  • Programme sponsors whose vendor engagement is sliding and who need an outside diagnostic
  • IT ops leaders consolidating a portfolio of acquired systems or standardising a group estate
  • Regulated firms preparing for a supervisory review or on-site inspection

Our approach

Discovery — leadership interviews, current-state assessment (applications, integrations, data, cloud, security posture) and a regulator scan. Analysis and options — structured scoring against value, feasibility, risk, cost and adoption load. Recommendation — target state, sequenced roadmap, budget and named risks. Handover or mobilisation — recommendations are handed to your team to execute or mobilised into a Redian delivery under our custom software or digital transformation practices. Commitments captured in writing at the end of Discovery. Phased rollouts almost always beat big-bang.

Why Redian for IT consulting

  • Senior consultants only — engagement lead is a former CTO, head of engineering or principal architect, not a fresh graduate carrying decks.
  • Vendor-neutral advice — we do not resell platforms; recommendations are made against your constraints, not our quota.
  • CMMI Level 3 Appraised and ISO 27001 / 9001 certified — governed process and artefacts that survive audit.
  • BFSI, insurance and enterprise-operations depth — nine years of production delivery under RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, FCA, CBK, CBUAE, SAMA and NAICOM supervision.
  • Multi-region delivery — Noida, Nairobi, Dubai, London and New York, useful for group programmes spanning multiple regulators.
  • Roadmap to run — advice you can execute with your own team or move into Redian delivery without a re-bid.
  • NASSCOM SME Inspire 2026 award for excellence in global business expansion.

Why Redian

What makes us different.

Independent reasons clients pick us over Big-4 firms, boutique agencies and offshore vendors.

  • Genuinely independent

    Zero reseller margin on Zoho, Odoo, Salesforce, AWS, Azure or any vendor. We earn from delivery and advisory, not from picking the vendor that pays us.

  • We've shipped what we recommend

    Engineers and architects who have personally delivered the systems they advise on — not consultants who've read about them in case studies.

  • BFSI + AI/ML depth

    9 years of BFSI delivery and 8 years of AI/ML work. Vertical specialists, not generalists swapping verticals every engagement.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price

    Written scope and price ceiling before engagement starts. No open-ended retainers. No surprise time-and-materials invoices.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask before the first call.

Don't see your question? Ask us directly →

Is your consulting truly independent or do you favour your own services?

Independent. We have no reseller margin on Zoho, Odoo, Salesforce, SuiteCRM, AWS, Azure or any vendor. About 30% of our consulting recommendations end with 'don't pick Redian for the build' — we earn from delivery, not from picking the vendor that pays us most.

How fast can you scope a consulting engagement?

We scope inside 1 business day after a 30-minute introductory call. For larger engagements (modernisation roadmaps, multi-year transformation plans), full scoping is sized to your requirements and agreed in writing before we start. We don't drag out scoping to bill for it.

Can you write the RFP for us?

Yes — we draft RFPs, run vendor briefings, score responses, manage reference calls and support contract negotiation. We've drafted RFPs across core banking, policy administration, LMS, CRM/ERP and AI/ML platform selection for enterprises across India, Africa, the Middle East and the UK.

Do you have references in our industry?

BFSI, AI/ML, CRM/ERP, SaaS and enterprise across the USA, UK, Africa, Middle East and India since 2016. We'll send references relevant to your situation — same industry, similar size, similar regulator — after the first call.

What's the typical consulting engagement size?

$15K–$80K for a focused decision (platform RFP, architecture review, security audit). $80K–$200K for a multi-week roadmap or transformation plan. Optional fractional architect retainers run $4K–$12K per month during execution. We send a fixed scope and fixed price — no open-ended hourly billing.

Can you advise without doing the implementation?

Absolutely. About 40% of our consulting engagements end without us doing any build work — we hand over the plan, RFP, architecture and vendor shortlist to your team or another integrator. We're hired for the next phase about 60% of the time — by choice, not by lock-in.

How is this different from Big-4 consulting?

Three things. (1) The senior consultant in the room is the senior consultant on the project — no partner-on-the-jet model. (2) We can actually build what we recommend — most Big-4 cannot. (3) Fixed-scope engagements, not open-ended retainers. Domain depth in BFSI/AI/ML/CRM, not generalist.
