 Industry
Monitoring
Wheatstone Consultants are working with the
major buyers and suppliers of mobile technology on a daily basis. We also
actively monitor the news feeds to bring our clients the very latest information
on developments and trends in this fast moving sector of the industry. Market
Analysis notes are published providing comment when significant events occur
thus keeping Wheatstone customers completely up-to-date.
Personal
Technology Advisor
Trying to obtain and maintain complete
knowledge of the ever growing range and subtlety of technology solutions
available to businesses can be an impossible task for those for whom mobile data
and mobile commerce is not their primary focus. The market, and the leaders
within it, can change at a frighteningly rapid pace. How do you know that
today's technology choice will be relevant - or even supported - before the end
of your anticipated investment payback period? In this environment even
experienced management teams can find value in impartial advice from an industry
specialist.
Our services range from personal or group
briefings, to compiling and completing tailored Market Reports. We can
facilitate Strategy Reviews, and even conduct an Audit of your current
infrastructure to help you identify future investment plans. Whether your
business needs interim management support for a prolonged period, or you require
occasional confidential, unbiased advice we can help you successfully set and
deploy your mobile strategy.
Technology Due
Diligence
Acquiring or making a sound
investment in a technology-centric business requires an in-depth understanding
of the technology and technical team. Wheatstone Consulting specialises in
performing technology due diligence of small to medium size companies.
As information technologies have
become more complex and more fully integrated with the critical functions of a
business, it has become more important than ever to consciously evaluate
existing systems and the implications of the technology choices that have been
made over the years. Unfortunately, the evaluation of information systems does
not have the long, rich and disciplined history such as law or accountancy to
point out how important an analysis of this type can be.
Technology Due
Diligence Evaluation

experience of both sides of the acquisition process; we have prepared technology
companies for sale, and successfully integrated software and services
acquisitions into larger teams. Our evaluations include:
