Finally see your business clearly.
In most organizations, subscriptions are added one team at a time and renew on different dates, until no one has a clear view of what the business pays for, uses, or actually needs.
As an independent technology advisor, I audit your current software stack, cut what isn’t earning its place, and work to reduce your spend. You get an advisor in your corner, paid by the providers, not you.
Supported Technology & Services
I source solutions across a wide range of technology categories. These are the three I focus on most.
Managed & Professional Services
Some work is better handed to specialists. I connect you with providers for monitoring, security operations, technical support, and project work, matched to your needs, so your team can focus on running the business.
Includes:
- Around-the-clock monitoring of your network and cloud systems
- Security monitoring and threat response
- Help desk and technical support for your team
- Implementation, migration, and project support
- Providers matched to your size, budget, and goals
Software as a Service
Most software stacks grow one subscription at a time. I review what you have, find where tools overlap, and help you consolidate onto the platforms your team actually uses, timed to your renewals so nothing gets disrupted.
Includes:
- Email, documents, and collaboration suites
- Accounting, operations, and customer management systems
- Reporting and dashboards for clear visibility into your business
- Tools for managing devices, users, and IT operations
- Consolidation planning around your renewal dates
Artificial Intelligence
AI tools are spreading across teams faster than anyone can track them. I help you choose the right AI platforms, put governance around how they’re used, and avoid paying for tools that overlap. Whether you’re exploring your first AI deployment or reining in the ones already running, you get options that fit your business, not a single vendor’s roadmap.
Includes:
- AI assistants built into the tools your team already uses
- Custom AI agents that handle repetitive work
- Access to leading AI models under one plan
- Customer-facing chat and support automation
- Company-approved AI workspaces with usage controls and data protection
Why Data Prep U?
After 20 years in software and analytics, I’ve learned which tools actually save businesses time and which ones just create more work to manage. Automation, reporting, and modern AI tools consistently deliver real productivity gains when they’re configured and maintained correctly. That’s the difference between software that collects dust and infrastructure that quietly keeps your business running in the background.
That’s where I come in. I help you sort the tools worth keeping from the ones collecting dust, so you can spend less time managing software and more time running your business.
Benefits of working with Data Prep U
✓ Independent advice, not tied to a single vendor
