Services

Two ways to work together

Some businesses need ongoing IT leadership. Others need help with a specific project. Both paths start with the same conversation.

Ongoing IT Leadership A retained partnership: strategic direction, vendor oversight, and IT decision support every month.

Fractional IT Director

Senior IT leadership without the full-time salary. You get steady oversight of your vendors, budget, and technology decisions, keeping IT aligned with where your business is headed.

  • IT vendor management & renewals
  • Technology budget planning
  • Managed service provider (MSP) oversight
  • Board & leadership reporting
  • Quarterly IT roadmap updates
  • Strategic decision support

Retainer packages from $650/month

Project Engagements Scoped work with defined deliverables, clear timelines, and fixed pricing.

How I Work

Simple process, clear outcomes

01

Discovery call

We talk through where you are, where you want to be, and whether I'm the right fit. No pitch, no pressure.

02

Scoped proposal

I put together a clear scope with defined deliverables and timeline. Pricing is fixed or retainer-based. No surprise invoices.

03

Execution

We move efficiently. I embed with your team, deliver the work, and keep you informed without burying you in status updates.

04

Handoff & support

Work is documented and knowledge is transferred so your team owns the outcome, not a dependency on me.

About

A working IT Director, available to your business

I'm an IT Director with hands-on experience running infrastructure, leading migrations, and managing security for real organizations, this isn't advisory work from someone who left the industry a decade ago.

Liming Technology is how I take on a small number of outside engagements each year. That means you get direct access to someone who is actively solving the same problems you have, not a consulting firm that assigns a junior resource after the sales call.

I keep the client list intentionally small so I can do the work properly. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you upfront.
