The Firm
Advice with no revenue attached to the answer.
Most technology advice in the Australian mid-market is sold by people who profit from the outcome. The MSP that assesses your security also sells the remediation. The vendor that reviews your licensing also renews it. The consultant who writes your roadmap gets paid to deliver it.
Agility Next exists to be the exception. We conduct independent commercial IT audits, and that is all we do. We sell no hardware, no software, no support contracts, no implementation. We take no referral fees and no vendor commissions. When we tell you something about your IT environment, the only thing riding on it is our name.
Our principals have spent more than twenty years delivering independent technology reviews for Australian organisations across health, education, financial services, professional services and the public sector, and running technology at enterprise scale as CIO, CTO and COO. We built Agility Next to bring that standard of independence to the mid-market at a fixed fee, in four weeks, with the guarantee in writing.
INDEPENDENT GOVERNANCE. ENTERPRISE SCALE.
A pure-play advisory led by people who have run technology at enterprise scale, with zero vendor relationships to protect.
Greg Spencer
Founder & Principal Consultant
Greg has spent more than twenty years running independent technology reviews for Australian organisations, after senior executive careers as CIO, CTO and COO. He founded one of Australia's longest-running independent technology advisory practices and has delivered board-level reviews across health, education, financial services, professional services and the public sector.
"I founded Agility Next to give the mid-market advice with no revenue attached to the answer. When your advisor profits from your spend, they are not your advisor."
Alex Frew
Partner & Enterprise Growth Lead
Alex has scaled technology businesses from $5M to $330M, led the integration of 12 acquisitions and managed IT teams of up to 1,100 people. He has sat on the buying side of the exact vendor contracts our audits test.
"I partnered with Agility Next to bring enterprise rigour to the mid-market. I have lived the journey from $5M to $330M. I know what breaks at scale, and where IT costs get away from you."

Our principals have spent more than twenty years conducting independent technology reviews for Australian organisations. The pattern does not change: unbenchmarked contracts, unused licences, ungoverned risk. We know where to look because we have been looking for two decades.
What "Value Improvement" Means
Value improvement is not just cost savings. It includes:
COST REDUCTION
Direct savings through vendor optimisation, licence consolidation or service elimination.
RISK REDUCTION
Risks that could become compliance failures, breaches or outages, quantified by impact and remediation cost.
GOVERNANCE IMPROVEMENT
Gaps that, once closed, give your board confidence in IT risk posture and reduce director exposure.
CAPABILITY IMPROVEMENT
Better performance, security and reliability without proportional cost increases.
SPEND AVOIDANCE
Future spend avoided through better planning, consolidation and technology choices.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Verification that the IT environment actually supports the growth plan.
