Advisory
Everyone Wants Progress. Few Have a Plan.
We Help You Assess, Align, and Act on Your Priorities.
You’re under constant pressure to modernize, but every new tool adds more complexity instead of cohesion.
Legacy systems and disconnected platforms make it harder to understand where you are today, let alone where you should go next. Teams push forward with good intentions, but decisions get made in silos.
Technical debt continues to build. Security and resilience become harder to manage. And big technology decisions start to carry more risk than they should.
At this point, you don’t need more tech. You need direction.
%
between 30-50% of security tools are underutilized or misconfigured
%
of breaches are caused by human errors and misconfigurations
On average, security teams manage over 80 tools
The Problem
Reactive Modernization Has Reached Its Limit
Modern enterprises manage over 75 security and IT tools, but up to half are misconfigured, underused, or redundant.
Too often, this is because IT modernization efforts are reactive:
The result is fragmented ecosystems, hidden risks, and wasted investments.
Buying tools to solve pain points, not support strategy
Running assessments in silos with limited follow-through
When cabling is rushed, unplanned, or siloed from IT, it shows up later in costly outages, poor performance, and failed audits.
These gaps compound over time, making it harder to adapt, standardize, and grow. And when physical infrastructure fails, everything above it suffers.
The solution
Progress Starts With Perspective
The path forward isn’t more tools or bigger budgets. It’s better decisions.
To modernize effectively, you need to:
Understand what’s already in place
Identify gaps, overlaps, and misalignments
Know exactly where your risks are, and which ones matter most
Align stakeholders around shared priorities
Translate business goals into technical strategies
This shift begins by seeing your environment as a whole, not as isolated systems. The right architecture goes beyond technology to align priorities, control cost, and scale.
Assess → Advise → Deliver

Whatever the project is, ANM’s Advisory Services is here to set you up for success.
We help you evaluate your current landscape, align stakeholders, and chart a clear path forward that reduces risk and delivers results.
Our Assessments
Thorough evaluations to uncover gaps, risks, and inefficiencies in your current environment.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
Evaluate recovery targets, failover readiness, and continuity gaps.
Cloud Assessment
Cybersecurity Assessment
Identify vulnerabilities across identity, access, endpoint, and network layers.
Data Center & Infrastructure
Review compute, storage, and networking for capacity, lifecycle, and resilience.
Data Classification
Understand data access, sensitivity, and exposure risk.
Network Assessment
Gain visibility into network performance, configuration, and risk.
Readiness Assessments
Assess organizational readiness for AI, automation, and emerging technologies.
Risk Assessments
NIST-aligned evaluations to identify gaps and prioritize resilience controls.
Our Workshops
Collaborative, vendor-neutral sessions that align stakeholders and define next steps.
AI Readiness
Cyber Resilience
Evaluate your ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents.
Zero Trust
Assess maturity and define a phased Zero Trust roadmap.
Microsoft
Plan and optimize Microsoft 365, Azure, Copilot, and related services.
Tools Rationalization
Analyze tool usage and overlap to reduce sprawl and improve ROI.
Identity & Access Management
Review identity architecture, access policies, and privilege controls.
Roadmap Planning & Gap Analysis
Following an assessment or delivered as a standalone service, ensure your strategy is actionable, not theoretical.
What You Get:
Executive summary of your current state
Architectural overview
Domain-specific risk analysis
High-level FinOps observations (cost drivers, inefficiencies)
Clear, prioritized roadmap aligned to business outcomes
