If you're running an enterprise Drupal Project or a Drupal Development Platform, chances are you'll need someone to audit your development and/or production environment to make sure you're running an optimal setup. Without an independent audit, you could be exposing your project to unnecessary risks and spending more money than you need to.
So as well as high quality software development, I am offering these consulting services to my clients:
- Audit Drupal Code Bases & Quality Control
- Manage Development Teams (remote or in-house)
- APIs, Documentation, Knowledge Management
- Manage Project Software Life Cycles
- Setup a Development Environment
- Audit of superfluous bullet points
- Infrastructure, Servers, VMs and cloud stuff
- Installation of Project Management Software
- Project Feedback
- Training
So, instead of relying solely on your Web Developers and the Drupal stack, bring control of your project back to where you need it, anticipate potential problems, stop wasting money on redundancy and invest more in innovation.

Good to see other providers
Good to see other people starting to offer this, we've been doing this for about a year and a half now. Auditing other people's Drupal projects is also something that some clients are starting to ask for directly, which really shows the maturity of the market. In addition to reviewing best practice, we also do security reviews as well.

Auditing
Glad to see as well, the list of things your offering Rimian is exactly what I do as an independent enterprise consultant. I have only ever worked with large corporations and enterprise though no SME's.
It would be great if we could all catch up and have a discussion, I have been doing this since 2008 now (actually how i got introduced to Drupal was auditing a large government Drupal website).
I find the main problem is that Drupal development houses are catering for the small to medium businesses and not enterprise. When you focus on enterprise there are a lot of other factors that come into and and the majority are not technical but management and ownership related.
I would really like to have more of an enterprise focus in the Drupal Australian Community :D I have tried to push for the enterprise to be seen and heard more especially at Drupal Camp DownUnder (I hate saying DownUnder no one in Europe knows what we mean?) . Maybe we can run an auditing bof there and share some experiences. Prior to getting into Drupal I had a very heavy system/security auditing background for international banking and also projects at government level. I would love to share my enterprise experience with people as I found most peoples approaches to be small to medium enterprise which does require a different approach hence my focus being enterprise.
On the big note, I am just glad to see im no longer the sole person doing this (its been a lonely two years and xxweeks ;p) lets share ;D
Auditing and Standards
Auditing and Standards are also big issues for SME's. (i read some data from the state government research suggesting that "over 30% of all small business had experienced a security breach" fairly broad I know - a concern none the less) However most of the work done on these issues has come from Big Banks and Government who have greater resources and expertise - along with highly skilled team dynamics.
This is why I posted my suggestion of having some of the best practice, quality, security and search standards passed down the line - as to raise the bar at the small end of the scale.
There is much development and market growth at the SME end of town - it may not have the budgets or kudos of big end of town (no stripey suits either) - but it is a growing and vibrant Drupal community that needs all the help it can get.
I would love to see some of the flow down from all the enterprise heavies to us trench dwellers servicing small businesses. Bring a light and shovel (and your stripey suits too)!
Best Regards
Anthony
