Understand the estate, the constraints, the people, and what success genuinely looks like for you.
Twenty-five years in IT, one operator, no account layers. Identity, automation, and cloud — across Microsoft and Linux estates — explained to the people who'll live with the decisions.
No packages or tiers. Each engagement is scoped to the actual problem and the outcome you need from it.
Entra ID, conditional access, SSO, joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle. Designed and run so the right people have the right access without admin overhead — and you can show your working at audit time.
Workflow automations, n8n and Power Automate pipelines, and the scripting that takes repeatable work off humans. Built to be maintainable by your team, not just clever in isolation.
A clear, honest assessment of what you run, what's at risk, and what's worth fixing first — written for decision-makers, not just engineers.
Planning and hands-on delivery of cloud moves, consolidations, and Microsoft or Linux estate work, with a bias toward zero-downtime and no invoice surprises.
Firewall, segmentation, and access-control work — designed so a non-specialist can still understand what's protecting what, and why.
A retained technical sounding board for leadership — the calm second opinion before a budget or vendor decision.
Four phases. Each one ends with something you can act on, even if we stop there.
Understand the estate, the constraints, the people, and what success genuinely looks like for you.
A recommended approach with trade-offs named honestly — including the option to do less.
Hands-on implementation, or close support of your team. Scope and dates are specific and tracked.
Documentation, training, and a defined window of help so nothing lands on you cold.
Technology should be unobtrusive.
I've spent twenty-five years in and around IT infrastructure — building it, fixing it, and helping organisations decide what's actually worth doing. The work tends to centre on identity, automation, and cloud, across both Microsoft and Linux estates. McKee Consulting is the independent practice that grew out of that.
The model is deliberately small. You work directly with the person doing the thinking, the advice is vendor-neutral, and the priority is leaving you with systems your own team can run with confidence.

A few lines about what's on your mind is more useful than a long brief. I'll come back to you the same working day.
