Enterprise-grade consulting, built for small business
We help local businesses spend less on technology, stay safer, and run more smoothly.
Most businesses don't need a big, expensive overhaul. They need a senior expert who finds the problem costing them the most and fixes that first.
We won't recommend a big project before we understand your problem.
What we do
Six ways we help.
You don't need to know which service you need or what to call the problem. Bring whatever's causing the most trouble. In most cases it looks like one of the situations below, and that's where we begin.
1
Cost Optimization
Your technology bills keep climbing
When cloud and software costs keep rising, we find the waste, the spend going out the door that delivers no value, and reduce it. Then we put controls in place so the savings hold instead of eroding.
- Pinpoint what you are overpaying for
- Correct the drivers behind rising bills
- Sustain the savings over time
2
Compliance Preparedness
Insurance or compliance pressure
Insurance requirements, customer security questionnaires, and compliance obligations create real pressure. We get you organized, consolidate the evidence, and show you where the gaps are before an insurer, auditor, or customer finds them.
- Know which requirements actually apply
- Consolidate scattered evidence in one place
- See precisely where the gaps are
3
Security Assessment
You are worried about being hacked
If you are concerned about being breached or exposed, we assess what is genuinely at risk and what is not, so you are not guessing. Then we prioritize the fixes so the most important issues are addressed first.
- Identify what is actually exposed
- Separate real risk from noise
- Prioritize the highest-impact fixes
4
AI Integration
Your team repeats the same manual work
When a task gets done over and over and eats hours every week, we turn it into a reliable, automated process that is safe to operate. The result is capacity handed back to higher-value work.
- Find the repetitive work costing you hours
- Build a reliable, automated process
- Keep it safe and under your control
5
Technology Training
Your team was never trained on what they run
Most preventable incidents come down to someone not knowing the safe way to do something ordinary. We train your people in your own environment, covering security awareness, day-to-day operations, and the safe use of AI.
- Security awareness people actually remember
- Hands-on training in your own systems
- Records you can show an insurer

Cloud Architecture
A system needs to work better
Sometimes the real problem is the platform itself: it is fragile, slow, or hard to operate. We design, repair, and modernize the systems underneath so everything running on top of them behaves.
- Make fragile systems reliable
- Cut the effort of running them
- Document it so your team can own it
What happens next
1. Find the pain
We start with whatever is costing you the most right now, whether that is money, time, or risk, and we make sure we understand the real problem before recommending anything.
What happens next
2. Prove the value
We deliver that first win and measurable results. You'll know it worked because you can see it in the numbers, not because we said so.
What happens next
3. Expand if it earns it
When the evidence supports doing more, we continue. When it doesn't, we stop. We'd rather earn the next phase than sell it in advance.
Every engagement is delivered directly by a senior consultant. No junior teams, no account managers, no jargon.

The same depth a big firm would bring, delivered the way a small business actually needs it.
Enterprise expertise, without the overhead
Big firms bill for layers of overhead you never asked for. With ECG, the senior person does the work directly, so you pay for the result, not the org chart.
Plain language, always
You'll always know what we're doing, why it matters, and what it's worth, in words you don't need an IT background to follow. If we can't explain it clearly, we don't understand it well enough yet.
Cost work pays for itself
For cloud cost reduction, our fee is a share of the savings we find. You only ever pay out of money you were already wasting, so there's no new line item on your budget.
Quick to start
Most engagements begin within one to two weeks. For urgent matters like a security concern, we can often start sooner. We'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers, no jargon, so you can decide whether we are the right firm to call.
Do I need to know what kind of help I need?
No. You don't have to know the right terms or choose a service. Tell us what's causing the most trouble, whether that's a bill that keeps climbing, a security questionnaire you can't answer, a concern about getting hacked, or a task your team keeps doing by hand. We'll identify the right place to start.
Will you try to sell me a large, expensive project?
No. We start with the one issue that's costing you most and prove the value with results you can measure. We continue only when the evidence says it will pay off. We'd rather earn the next phase of work than sell a large project before we understand your problem.
Can we start small?
Yes. That's the entire approach. Most engagements begin with one clear, bounded win: finding waste in a bill, consolidating your compliance evidence, assessing what's actually at risk, or automating one repetitive task. Scope grows from there only when it makes sense for you.
Our technology bills keep climbing. Can you lower them?
In most cases, yes. When bills keep rising, it's usually because spend is going out the door for things you don't need. We find the waste, reduce it, and put controls in place so the savings hold. And for this work, our fee is a share of the savings we find, so it comes out of money you were already wasting. Reducing cloud cost at scale is precisely the work our founder did at Amazon.
We are facing insurance and compliance requirements. Can you help?
Yes. Insurance requirements, customer security questionnaires, and compliance obligations are among the most common reasons clients engage us. We get you organized, consolidate the evidence, and show you exactly where the gaps are, so you know what to address before renewal or audit.
How do we know if we are actually at risk of a breach?
That's precisely what we help you determine. We assess what's actually exposed, distinguish genuine risk from noise, and help you address the most important items first. The goal is to base decisions on evidence rather than guesswork.
Can you automate the repetitive work our team keeps doing?
Often, yes. When a team repeats the same manual task and loses hours every week, we can usually turn it into a reliable, automated process that's safe to operate. We start with one real task that's slowing you down, not a demonstration.
How quickly can you start?
For most engagements, within one to two weeks. For urgent matters such as a security concern, we can often start sooner. Tell us your timeline and we'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
What makes you different from a large consulting firm?
You get enterprise-grade capability without the enterprise overhead: 20 years of experience, Amazon-scale engineering, and Fortune 500 training, led by the senior person who actually does the work, at a price a local business can afford. No junior teams, no handoffs, and no jargon.
Do you stay involved after the first project?
If you want us to. Many clients move from a first project into an ongoing relationship: a steady set of eyes on their systems, regular reviews, or support when something breaks. That's your decision, and only when the value is there.
Start the conversation
Tell us what's costing you most. We'll deliver the first win.
A climbing bill, a security questionnaire you can't answer, worry about a breach, or a task your team keeps doing by hand. Start with whatever's causing the most trouble. If you're not sure what to call it, that's fine. Finding the right starting point is our job.
