A consulting governance platform
your IT team won’t need to babysit
Consource is built to run stand-alone from day one, with enterprise-grade security, OKTA SSO, and live integrations with Microsoft, Google, Slack, DocuSign, and Improveo. No heavy ERP project required before the platform becomes useful.
Your Top IT Priorities — and what changes when the platform behaves itself
Select the IT concern that matters most. The right-hand panel shows how Consource is designed to reduce friction, contain integration scope, and satisfy technical due diligence without inventing infrastructure theatre.
Low-burden deployment
New software proposals often arrive with the same charming implication: “it’s simple,” followed by a surprisingly athletic list of dependencies, connectors, approvals, and internal bandwidth they forgot to mention in the first meeting.
What this looks like
- Adoption blocked until ERP or P2P integration is scoped
- IT asked to support a large systems project before value is visible
- Business teams retreat into spreadsheets, email, and shared-drive improvisation
- Platform usefulness depends on systems work that nobody has time to prioritise
What changes with stand-alone deployment
- Consource operates stand-alone from day one
- Typical BU deployment can happen in under 2 weeks
- ERP remains the transactional system of record without being dragged into phase one
- Consulting governance moves out of shadow tools into one dedicated platform
IT can approve a contained deployment path instead of inheriting a sprawling transformation in disguise.
Identity and access control
Every additional SaaS platform brings the same legitimate question: how many new credentials, access exceptions, and governance side quests is this going to create?
What this looks like
- Separate authentication model outside enterprise identity policy
- Manual user provisioning and deprovisioning
- Access governance harder to explain than it ought to be
- Internal review delayed by uncertainty around SSO support
What changes with enterprise authentication
- OKTA SSO supports integration with client identity systems
- Authentication stays aligned with enterprise access governance
- Deployment does not require a separate authentication environment
- Platform access fits into existing identity policy instead of creating a parallel circus
Identity remains disciplined, centralised, and boring in the best possible sense.
Controlled integration scope
Vendors often say “integrates with everything,” which is a wonderful sentence right up until someone asks for a list, a timeline, and a technical owner.
What this looks like
- Broad ERP and procurement connector claims with no verified scope
- Integration conversation becomes more ambitious than the product need
- Business expects live connectivity that is actually roadmap territory
- Technical due diligence stalls on vague promises
What changes with a named integration model
- Confirmed live integrations: Microsoft, Google, Slack, DocuSign, Improveo
- OKTA supports enterprise SSO
- API-based connectivity can be handled case by case where it adds value
- ERP and P2P integrations remain roadmap items, not present-tense fiction
IT gets a credible, bounded integration story instead of a vague hymn to “seamlessness.”
Security and compliance review
Security review tends to become difficult when the answers are incomplete, the documentation is vague, or the vendor attempts to distract everyone with performance numbers nobody asked for.
What this looks like
- Security posture described with generic badges and hand-waving
- Compliance review missing documentation pathways
- Hosting, architecture, and authentication details surfaced too late
- Evaluation polluted by unverified uptime or performance claims
What changes with a documented security posture
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications are in place
- EU data hosting supports regional governance requirements
- Security documentation is available in the dataroom on invitation
- AWS hosting, MongoDB, and OKTA-based authentication are clearly stated
IT can complete due diligence with a straight face, a complete checklist, and fewer avoidable follow-up questions.
Low ongoing maintenance
Teams often avoid formal consulting governance because the alternative appears to be yet another platform requiring upkeep, exceptions, and recurring internal rescue missions.
What this looks like
- Consulting workflows scattered across email, spreadsheets, and shared drives
- Multiple duplicated process steps across business units
- New SaaS tool perceived as another support burden
- No dedicated system for consulting governance, so the mess simply migrates
What changes with a dedicated governance platform
- Consource centralises consulting governance in one purpose-built environment
- ERP keeps PO creation and payment validation without duplication
- Scalable deployment across BUs avoids heavy system transformation
- Deployment avoids unnecessary architectural complexity and does not require ERP integration at launch
IT gets a cleaner governance footprint, fewer shadow tools, and less accidental complexity masquerading as progress.
Works with your existing systems
Consource has been designed to operate in a disconnected mode from client systems. It can integrate via API where collaboration and automation justify it, but it does not need deep ERP coupling to become operational.
Your ERP keeps its job
ERP remains the financial authority for PO creation and payment validation. Consource adds consulting governance and workflow control without pretending to replace the transactional core.
Use the integrations that are actually live
Confirmed live integrations include Microsoft, Google, Slack, DocuSign, Improveo, and OKTA SSO. ERP and P2P integrations are roadmap items, not claims smuggled into the present tense.
Reduce shadow workflows
Consulting governance too often drifts into email threads, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Consource centralises that work in one dedicated platform while keeping your existing enterprise systems in place.
Technical footprint
Consource runs on AWS infrastructure with MongoDB as the primary data store and supports enterprise authentication via OKTA SSO. Availability and performance are continuously monitored, with recent availability measured at 99.94% and average response time around 162 ms.
IT Leader FAQs
Common questions from CTOs, IT Directors, and infrastructure leaders evaluating Consource.
Confirmed live integrations include Microsoft, Google, Slack, DocuSign, Improveo, and OKTA for SSO. ERP and P2P integrations are part of the roadmap, so they should not be treated as current out-of-the-box integrations.
Consource is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, hosted in the EU, and supports OKTA SSO. Additional documentation such as the SOC 2 report, penetration testing certificate, information security policy, incident response policy, business continuity and disaster recovery plan, and related security documents can be shared through the dataroom on invitation.
Typical business-unit deployment can happen in under 2 weeks, depending on your organisational structure, approval workflows, and authentication setup. Deployment does not depend on a deep ERP integration before the platform can be used.
No. Consource has been designed to operate stand-alone from day one. ERP remains the source of truth for financial transactions, while Consource handles consulting governance, workflow orchestration, sourcing, documentation, and visibility across the consulting lifecycle.
Consource adds a dedicated governance layer for consulting procurement and project oversight. It reduces shadow tools, preserves ERP processes for PO creation and payment validation, and supports API-based connectivity where specific integrations make operational sense.
