Fortis Future™ is ready to help you with future technology, today. Here’s how we work:
1
Book a meeting
In this initial meeting we’ll discuss your brief. To follow up we’ll send out RFI documents to gather any information required for us to provide a Phase 1 proposal. We’ll also review your NDA or provide a mutual NDA.
2
Initial engagement
We’ll outline our Phase 1 cost estimates in a formal quote for your approval. Once officially engaged we’ll assign a subject matter expert to the project to project manage and coordinate the discovery sessions with you.
3
Discovery – Phase 1
Next your brief is turned into a project scope. This will likely require privileged access to systems and your engagement in ideation whiteboard sessions.
4
Design and approval
Now we understand the scope, your aligned SME will build the project plan and present this to you for approval along with Phase 2 project cost estimates for your approval.
5
Build and test – Phase 2
The SME will martial our resources to build and deploy an initial version of the scope.
6
Review and refinement
Depending on project complexity, there may be no further refinement necessary. If so, we simply skip to Phase 3 and deploy. If any change to the scope is required we’ll issue a final Phase 3 cost estimate for your approval to cover the unanticipated work.
7
Deployment – Phase 3
Project deployment/ roll-out in the live environment (if applicable). Your SME will be on-hand to ensure smooth deployment.
8
Project Completion
Project wash-up. Your SME will schedule a project completion call with you to receive your feedback and work through any snagging. We will work with you here to plan in the maintenance of the deployment and schedule periodic post-project follow-ups.

What type of organisations do you work with?
We work with organisations from any industry, as well as government, education and healthcare. Our clients tend to be medium to large enterprise, however we have worked with many SMEs.
Technology and compliance is relevant to every organisation of every type and size, and every client has a different motivation for engaging with us. What is consistent across all clients when they engage with us, is that there is a business requirement rooted in business strategy driving the engagement. Whether this is safely introducing productivity tools into secure environments or attaining a compliance standard the business wins.
How much do you charge?
Fortis Future™ engages with clients on a day rate basis for all engagements.
Projects, are split into 3 phases, At each phase we work with you to establish a cost estimate for the work to be undertaken during the next phase. As projects are delivered using the Agile methodology, we’re very accurate in our cost estimation. Additional charges are typically incurred only if the original scope changes to include additional features, or there are issues with any dependencies out of our control and visibility. We also keep you well informed on project progress and will let you know as soon as possible of any potential overages so you can sign these off in advance.
Professional Services-only engagements, where we are not building and deploying technology is charged at our day rate for a fixed number of days. We offer blocks of days, as well as retainers for an agreed number of days per month to augment your business providing Subject Matter Expert advice when you need it. An example of this is our fractional vCISO or IT Manager services.
Maintenance contracts, are offered as support agreements for technology we build and deploy for you. These are again based on our day rate for a number of days per month, with the addition of SLA variation. The amount of days forms the usage cap per month. Maintenance contracts range in size and are agreed with you based on the complexity of your technology, and the SLA you required according to the criticality of function it serves.
3rd party software and services, that we recommend and resell including managed SOC/ SIEM, AV/ EDR/ XDR, Azure and AWS services and other software licenses are typically priced at MSRP/ RRP or below.
All pricing is subject to contract.
Testimonials
Past projects
Fortis Future helped us to design and deploy an incredibly powerful bespoke AI environment for our company. Before rolling out AI tools to our team, we wanted to ensure that we could control AI to ensure the safety of our data. We now have an air-gapped AI environment, complete with mission-specific agents which takes ‘work smarter not harder’ to a whole new level! We look forward to developing this further with the FF team. Thank you!
