GOVERNANCE.
FOR GROWTH.
Independent commercial IT assurance for the Australian mid-market.
We do not sell technology, support contracts or software. We audit the people who do, and hand your board the truth.
THE BOARDROOM DISCONNECT.
Your IT is either a strategic asset or a hidden liability. We help you discover which.
The Black Hole.
You sign invoices for 'Cloud Services' and 'Licensing' every month, but you suspect a meaningful slice of it is wasted capital. You have no independent way to test that suspicion.
The Blind Spot.
Your MSP reports on its own performance. You have no independent verification of your actual cyber risk, and your board is starting to ask.
The Anchor.
You want to scale, but the systems are glued together with spreadsheets and workarounds, and the board will not fund the fix on your word alone.
The Three Paths of IT Leadership
As a mid-market leader, you have three choices for independent IT advice. Only one is designed for you.
The Big Four
World-class advice, at a price point built for the ASX100.
Out of reach
The Managed Service Provider
Convenient for day-to-day support, but their strategic advice is shaped by the products they sell.
Can you trust the fox to guard the henhouse?
Conflicted
The Third Way
Agility Next
The rigour of a top-tier firm, with the accessibility and focus of a mid-market specialist.
We do not sell technology. We provide the governance, strategy and assurance to make sure your technology delivers commercial value.

Earned from vendors. Ever.
If our 4-Week Commercial IT Health Check does not identify and demonstrate value improvement opportunities worth at least twice our engagement fee, we will refund our fee. No questions asked. Terms published, in writing.
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.
This guarantee applies to all new 4-Week Commercial IT Health Check engagements. Read the terms.
The Agility Next Difference
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."
The Record
Two decades of independent reviews. Zero dollars earned from technology vendors.
