Many organisations lack IP governance maturity. The symptoms are familiar:

Forecasting built on trend lines instead of scenario analysis, leading to false emergencies, firefighting, and rushed decision making.
Lack of systematic audit and efficiency process, resulting in IPv4 capacity sitting idle while external acquisition is considered.
Inconsistent IP data categorisation and tagging.
Investment decisions (buy or lease IPv4, or deploy IPv6) made without comparative business cases, resulting in expensive dependencies or stranded assets.
Unclear understanding of future IP revenue opportunities.

These aren't edge cases. And they’re costing you operationally and financially.

Growing Enterprises Needing Smart Forecasting

Scaling annually, M&A activity, launching major projects that will impact your IP requirements?
You need reliable, scenario-based 12-24+ month forecasts. Not guesswork.

Organisations with Unclear Governance

“Who manages all your IP resources?” “Who approves requests?”
“Do we have clear policies and guidelines?”
You need governance structures and clear processes.

Organisations Facing IPv6 Decisions

Should we invest in IPv6, commit CapEx to buying IPv4, or lease IPv4 for a fixed cost per year? What are the short and long term cost-benefits and associated risks?
You need business cases with ROI analysis. Not vendor sales pitches.

Companies with Complex IP Portfolios

Multiple business units, post-M&A fragmentation, or surplus idle IPv4 space?
You need optimisation and monetisation strategy.
