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

Relying on vendor roadmaps instead of internal alignment

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

Modernizing infrastructure? Tightening security? Planning what’s next?

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

Assess architecture, cost, governance, and workload placement across cloud environments.

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

Assess governance, data, and infrastructure readiness for AI adoption.

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
