What We Do

End-to-end IT consulting
from strategy to execution.

Every engagement is built around your specific environment — no generic playbooks, no off-the-shelf answers.

📄

ITAM Strategy & Design

Build or mature your ITAM program with governance frameworks designed for scale — from ISO 19770 maturity modeling to enterprise policy design and tool selection.

🛡

Audit Defense

Expert-led defense against IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft vendor audits. We've been on both sides of the table and know exactly how to protect your organization.

☁

Hybrid Cloud Design

Architect and deploy hybrid cloud environments connecting on-premises infrastructure to Azure, AWS, or GCP — designed for performance, security, and compliance from day one.

🔐

Cloud License Governance

Ensure your cloud and hybrid environments are licensed correctly from day one. We eliminate exposure before auditors find it — and renegotiate where you've been overcharged.

📈

SaaS & FinOps

Govern your SaaS ecosystem, eliminate Shadow IT, and right-size cloud spend with a structured FinOps framework — including KPI scorecards and executive-ready dashboards.

👥

Fractional IT Leadership

Senior-level ITAM and infrastructure strategy without the full-time cost. We embed as your strategic partner — owning programs, leading vendor negotiations, and reporting to your executives.

💻

Application Development New

End-to-end custom software development with full project management — from concept and architecture through delivery, security review, and ongoing support. We build tools that solve real business problems.

Consulting team

Compliance isn’t a checkbox.
It’s a competitive edge.

We build programs that protect you today and scale with you for years.

Why Depalo

This isn’t consulting from a slide deck.

We’ve managed the programs, run the audits, led the vendor negotiations, and reported to the C-suite. We know what it takes because we’ve done it.

🏢

Built from the Inside Out

Our principal started in Tier 2 support and worked up through infrastructure, information security, and global IT operations at Fortune 500 scale. We know every layer of the stack.

📋

Real SAM & HAM Lifecycle Experience

We’ve managed software and hardware asset programs from discovery through disposal — including tool implementation (Axonius, Oomnitza, Armis, Jamf, Intune) and ITSM governance via Freshservice.

🤝

Vendor Negotiation That Delivers

We’ve negotiated Microsoft EA, Oracle, SAP Ariba, and Adobe ETLA contracts — and we know the pricing models, the leverage points, and where vendors will bend.

📊

Executive-Ready Reporting

We build Power BI dashboards, KPI/SLA scorecards, and QBR frameworks that give your leadership team clear visibility — not just data dumps. We’ve presented to executives and know what they need to see.

🔒

Security-Integrated ITAM

Our background includes information security engineering — so your ITAM program is built with SOX-aligned controls, vendor risk assessment, and security tool integration from the ground up.

🌎

Global Program Management

We’ve built and led global IT teams, managed multi-region programs, and coordinated across business units and time zones. We operate at the pace and complexity of a multinational organization.

Our Products

Real-time open notifications — always encrypted, always tracked.

Application Development

From idea to shipped product.
End to end.

We design, build, and deliver custom software with full project management — so you get a working product, not a half-finished codebase.

1

Discovery & Scoping

Requirements gathering, user story mapping, technical feasibility, and a fixed-scope project plan with milestones and deliverables.

2

Architecture & Design

System architecture, data model, UI/UX wireframes, technology stack selection, and security design review before a single line of code is written.

3

Development Sprints

Agile sprint cycles with regular demos, code reviews, and stakeholder check-ins. You see real progress every two weeks — no black boxes.

4

QA & Security Review

Functional testing, security audit, performance review, and remediation before release. Our background in information security means this isn’t an afterthought.

5

Deployment

Production deployment, store submission (Microsoft Store, App Store, Play Store), CI/CD pipeline setup, and go-live monitoring.

6

Support & Iteration

Post-launch support, bug triage, feature backlog management, and ongoing version releases. We stay with the product — not just the first ship.

Case Study
Starkive — Secure File Delivery & Open Tracking Platform
Built by Depalo Consulting LLC

The Problem

Professionals sending sensitive documents — contracts, NDAs, financial reports, compliance records — had no way to know if or when their files were actually opened. Existing tools (WinZip, 7-Zip) offered encryption but zero delivery intelligence.

What We Built

  • ✓Custom .ssz binary format with embedded file token, AES-256 payload, and PBKDF2-SHA256 key derivation
  • ✓Real-time open notification engine via Supabase Edge Functions and Resend
  • ✓PDF certificate generation with file hash, timestamp, and country-level geo
  • ✓Secret Share feature for secure transmission of passwords and sensitive text
  • ✓Multi-format support: .ssz, .7z, .age, .gpg — any file, any encryption standard
  • ✓Cloud dashboard at starkive.app with full open history per file and recipient
  • ✓Microsoft Store distribution with one-time $2.99 Pro unlock

How We Managed It

Architecture first — full system design and security model defined before development began
Sprint-based delivery — versioned releases (v1.0 through v1.7) with changelog and milestone tracking
Security audit — formal code review with vulnerability remediation before each major release
Store deployment — Microsoft Store certification, MSIX packaging, and Partner Center management
Ongoing iteration — active development with user feedback loop and regular feature releases
💻 Stack: C# / .NET 10, WPF, Supabase, Cloudflare Pages, Resend, Next.js
🔒 Security: AES-256, PBKDF2-SHA256, TLS pinning, SHA-256 integrity
🛒 Distribution: Microsoft Store (App ID: 9P3CM2XTXP61)
🔄 Version: v1.7.1 — actively maintained
