Book a discovery call
The fastest path to a productive engagement is a thirty-minute discovery call. Bring the situation — the platform you’re considering, the migration you’re planning, the security program you need to build, the integration that’s stuck. Leave with a candid read on whether BDS is the right fit, what the engagement would look like, and what the alternatives are.
The call is led by a senior consultant from the relevant practice. No slide deck, no qualifying gauntlet, no junior business development pass.
What happens on the call
A working session, not a sales pitch. Typical agenda:
- The situation in your words — five to ten minutes.
- Diagnostic questions from the consultant — ten minutes.
- Candid read on shape, sequencing, and BDS fit — ten minutes.
- Next steps if the fit is right; alternatives if it isn’t.
If the work is not a fit for BDS, we say so on the call. Usually we can recommend a specialist who is a better fit.
What we’d like to know in advance
Not required. Helpful if available:
- Rough size of the organization and the IT team.
- The platform, system, or program at the center of the question.
- Whether there is an active vendor or partner relationship in scope.
- The timeline you’re working against.
For asynchronous questions where a call doesn’t make sense — proposal queries, vendor selection conversations already underway, follow-ups from a prior engagement — email reaches the practice directly.
Email surfaces in the contact embed area at launch.
What we will not do
- We will not cold-pitch you on services after a discovery call. If we think the work is a fit and you don’t follow up, that’s the end of the conversation.
- We will not sell you against a vendor we don’t have practitioner depth in. If your situation is genuinely outside our practice areas, the call ends with a referral.
- We will not run a 30-day “free assessment” that turns into a paid engagement scope. If there is paid work to do, we scope and price it; if not, we don’t.
