Let’s be real: the Big-Name “strategy houses” sell death-by-PowerPoint at six- to seven-figure price tags. They parachute in a platoon of sleep-deprived Ivy-Leaguers, crank out pretty charts, and vanish long before anyone has to make their slides work in production. Ask YouTube—there’s a horror-story playlist for every letter in “consultant.”
What is an MBB?
“MBB” is shorthand for the industry’s “big three” strategy firms — McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Bain & Company. These firms are internationally recognized for advising corporations, governments, and nonprofits on high-stakes issues such as corporate strategy, operations, digital transformation, and M&A. Known for their rigorous problem-solving approaches, data-driven insights, and elite recruiting pipelines, MBB firms often set the standard for best practices in consulting and command premium fees that reflect their reputation for delivering impactful, board-level recommendations.
We decided that circus wasn’t for us—or for you.
From Sleepless MSPs to Sleepless Problem-Solvers
We cut our teeth as a Managed Service Provider, the folks who keep businesses online at 3 a.m. when servers melt down and customers are raging. Scaling hardened our knuckles and sharpened our instincts. When clients asked for help to grow, not just survive, we stepped into business consulting the same way we handle infrastructure: sleeves rolled, metrics ready, no fluff.
The “Fraction-of-the-Cost, Skin-in-the-Game” Formula
| Big Consulting Giants | Us |
|---|---|
| Slides, frameworks, buzzwords | Roadmaps, prototypes, working code |
| $500 k–$5 M invoices | Sensible retainers + transparent sprint pricing |
| Grads still learning what ROI means | Battle-tested engineers, PMs, and operators |
| “Implementation? That’s Phase 42.” | We build and integrate, day one |
What “Technology Scaling” Looks Like When Grown-Ups Do It
- Rapid Readiness Audit (48 hrs). We map bottlenecks, security gaps, and hidden costs—no ten-week discovery marathon.
- Actionable Roadmap. Granular, prioritized steps your team can execute with or without us. (Spoiler: most choose “with.”)
- Hands-On Implementation. Cloud migrations, CI/CD pipelines, AI workflows—if it moves your KPI needle, we’re on it.
- Knowledge Transfer. Your staff levels up instead of becoming slide-deck spectators.
Results > Reputation
After publishing just a handful of blunt blog posts, we onboarded multiple former Big-Consulting clients. Same problems, 80 % lower cost, but this time the dashboards actually lit up and the servers stopped crying.
Skip the Show—Get the Scale
If you’re staring at a growth target and wondering where to start, skip the polished pitch decks. Book a call with the team that’s already knee-deep in the trenches, turning tech chaos into scalable, profitable systems.
Because the world doesn’t need another pretty slide—it needs your business running faster, leaner, and stronger today.
