Santinon Consulting is Now Partnering with Considered Group
Santinon Consulting has partnered with Considered Group to bring clients a wider network of committed specialist expertise, without sacrificing long-term ownership.
I’m glad to share that Santinon Consulting has formed an alliance with Considered Group, partnering to bring a wider bench of specialist expertise to the clients we work with.
Why this partnership
The gap between Implementation and AMS (Application Managed Services) is usually where consulting engagements break down most visibly. Implementation gets delivered by one person, or one team, and then AMS gets picked up by someone else entirely once hypercare ends. The person who now owns the day-to-day support and enhancement work wasn’t in the room for the decisions that shaped how the thing was built, and the person who built it is already three engagements away by the time those decisions start mattering.
Santinon Consulting was founded on the same idea Considered Group shares: specialists over SI bodies, people who stay close to the work rather than rotating off it once a build goes live. That’s a deliberate part of how I work: the same person who delivers the implementation stays on for AMS. Not a handoff to a different team once go-live is behind you, the same person who understands why something was built the way it was, still there to support, enhance, and own it. That means staying close enough to a decision to see it through, not handing over a build and moving straight to the next statement of work.
What this means in practice
For clients, this means access to a wealth of knowledge and support from a network of committed specialists, not a generalist team stretched to cover gaps outside their depth. Whether the need is a different specialisation entirely, or simply more experienced hands on a larger piece of work, there’s someone in the network who’s spent years going deep in exactly that area.
It also means the same standard applies no matter who ends up doing the work: the person who delivers the implementation is the same person who owns AMS afterward, not a rotating cast handed off at go-live. That’s the thread that runs through both Considered Group and Santinon Consulting, and it’s the reason this partnership makes sense.
Who Considered Group is
Considered Group is led by Sean Heylen, someone I got to know while working alongside him at another consulting organisation. We found we held very similar views on what actually drives good consulting: holding client outcomes as the key thing you’re accountable for, not the statement of work. We both thought there was a better way of working, one where you could stay independent while still being able to offer a wide range of services and bring a larger team together when the work called for it.
That’s essentially what Considered Group is: a co-op of consultants across different specialisations, each bringing deep expertise to their own area, coming together as a team to deliver larger pieces of work than any one of us could take on alone. There’s a strong focus on AI, with an AI Centre of Excellence as a core offering, but the real value sits in the network itself: the ability to pull in the right specialist for the right problem, rather than staffing a generalist team and hoping it stretches to cover the gaps.

What this means for you
If you’re working with either Santinon Consulting or Considered Group, this partnership means a wider bench of specialist expertise is available to you, without sacrificing the thing that matters most: the same person who implements it is the same person who supports it afterward.
