Writing
These are the pieces being written first. If one of them would be useful to you sooner rather than later, say so and it moves up the list.
Annual leave accrual cycles, the public holiday Sunday rule, and how family responsibility leave actually works. The three places we see spreadsheets and international HR platforms get it wrong, and what correct looks like.
Per-user versus per-app licensing, when Dataverse pushes you into premium, what a Power Pages portal costs to run monthly, and the licensing decisions that quietly triple a project's running cost.
Custom software is frequently the wrong answer. A practical set of questions to work through before commissioning anything, from someone who would rather turn down the work than build the wrong thing.
What to do in the first two weeks when you become responsible for a live system nobody can explain. Baselining, risk triage, and how to make changes safely before you understand everything.
Beyond the privacy policy. What POPIA means for how your internal systems store employee documents, log access, handle retention, and what a reasonable compliance position looks like for a mid-size organisation.
A 30-minute call, no charge. Bring the process costing your team the most time and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth building, and roughly what it would take.
