mccloudCo by the numbers

Measurable strategic governance, quantified

At mccloudCo, we believe strategic technology consulting should be as predictable and measurable as any core business operation. Rather than billing open-ended hourly fees or forcing mid-market companies into enterprise-scale contracts, our practice operates on a structured 5-tier framework that delivers guaranteed monthly advisory hours, explicit deliverables, and transparent retainer pricing. From small 10-person teams optimizing SaaS spend to 250+ employee enterprises executing compliance audits and fractional vCIO leadership, our numbers demonstrate a clear, repeatable path to technology maturity.
