wacha helps Perth organisations decide what to build, what to buy, and what to stop paying for. One advisor. No vendor relationships. No agenda except yours.
Every vendor wants to add a line to your invoice. wacha's job is the opposite — to sit on your side of the table and ask whether you actually need it.
A structured look at what you're running, what it costs, and what's duplicative. Most organisations find at least 20% they don't need.
Where AI will genuinely help, where it's hype, and what to build versus what to buy. Grounded in your actual operations, not a vendor's roadmap.
On-call strategic counsel — async, by appointment. For decisions too important to make alone, and too nuanced for a ticket.
A clear picture of where your technology needs to be in 18–36 months, and the sequenced decisions that get you there without the vendor lock-in.
No multi-year retainers. No billable-hour padding. A conversation, a piece of focused work, a clear recommendation. You decide what happens next.
We talk. You describe the problem. I ask the questions nobody has asked yet. No charge, no obligation.
A short document: what I'll look at, what I'll deliver, what it costs. Fixed price. No surprises.
What I found. What I'd do. What I'd stop doing. Written for humans, not auditors. You own it outright.
"I started wacha because most IT advice comes from people who benefit from your next purchase."
I'm Tony Benson. I've spent years helping organisations navigate cloud infrastructure, SaaS sprawl, and the question of what AI is actually useful for — as opposed to what vendors are hoping you'll believe it can do.
wacha is deliberately small. I take two clients per quarter. That's not a constraint — it's the product. When I'm working with you, I'm working with you. Not a team of juniors following a methodology.
I'm based in Perth, Western Australia. I work with organisations across WA and remotely. I don't resell software. I don't take referral fees. I have no vendor relationships that pay me to recommend things.
The first call is free. If there's a fit, I'll send a proposal within a week. If there isn't, I'll say so — and probably point you somewhere useful.
Email is the best way to start. I respond within one business day.
