Innovex Consulting Available

Innovex Consulting, operating under the senior leadership of Scott Shanks in Fetcham, focuses on high-stakes corporate IT carve-outs, divestitures, and interim technology management. With three decades of direct delivery experience, the practice addresses the operational friction that occurs when corporate entities separate, acquire business units, or untangle legacy systems under binding regulatory and contractual deadlines. Engagements centre on establishing operational stability early, ensuring that acquired business units retain full continuity while decoupling from parent infrastructure.

The core of the technical practice involves managing Transitional Service Agreement (TSA) exits and multi-tier systems architecture migrations. Scott Shanks directs the technical decoupling process from initial discovery through to big-bang or phased cutovers. This includes migrating data centres, transitioning Oracle and enterprise database environments, rerouting wide area networks, and establishing secure file transfers and VPN connections. Rather than producing theoretical strategy documents, delivery relies on strict risk, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAID) management, detailed hour-by-hour cutover runbooks, and transparent go or no-go governance gates.

Beyond corporate separations, the consultancy handles large-scale digital workplace transformations and interim technology governance. Core projects include international Microsoft 365 tenant builds, secure identity rollouts, endpoint protection, and hardware cutovers across distributed offices. When operating as an Interim IT Director or Head of IT, the priority is evaluating vendor contracts, restructuring team responsibilities, hardening infrastructure against cyber risks, and managing hypercare support windows before handing full operational control over to permanent internal leadership.

Organizations planning an engagement typically reach out during transaction due diligence or immediately upon signing commercial separation agreements. To prepare for an initial assessment, corporate sponsors should assemble existing IT asset registers, active third-party software licensing agreements, current network topology charts, and known TSA milestone deadlines. Initial scoping sessions review these foundational assets to establish realistic delivery timelines, budget parameters, and travel schedules for critical cutover windows.
