Acceladus Business Systems
How we work
We don't sell PowerPoints. We build the actual thing. Priced honestly. Delivered sprint by sprint.

Whether it's M365, Power Platform, a third-party productivity suite, or something entirely bespoke — one flat monthly retainer covers it. Submit every idea, migration request, or automation job as it comes to mind. Each sprint, we prioritise the highest-value items that fit your capacity and ship them. Working systems, not slide decks.

Why Acceladus?
Traditional Consultancy
✗ 4–6 week discovery before anything moves
✗ Deliverable: a PowerPoint deck
✗ Hourly billing with no ceiling
✗ Junior resource behind a senior pitch
✗ Slow, governance-heavy, full of surprises
Acceladus
✓ Sprint planning in the first session
✓ Working software, configured systems, documented processes
✓ Fixed-price sprints — no surprises
✓ Liam builds it. You speak to Liam.
✓ Clear backlog reviewed every sprint
We skip the fluff. You get working code, configured systems, and documented processes by the end of the sprint — not a report recommending you get some.
The methodology

Acceladus runs on structured agile cycles using proven Scrum & Kanban principles — unlimited backlog capture, fixed-capacity sprints, transparent reviews, and continuous improvement. Whether you call it Agile, iterative, or 'just getting things done,' the result is the same: working systems shipped monthly.

Your backlog is unlimited — capture every idea, request, and requirement without restriction. At the start of each sprint, we prioritise together and commit to what delivers the most value within your capacity. AI-assisted delivery means we move faster than a traditional agency without cutting corners.

01
Anytime
Backlog Capture
Submit migrations, automations, builds, and fixes whenever they arise. Your backlog is always open and nothing gets lost.
02
Start of sprint
Sprint Planning
We review the backlog together, agree on scope, and lock in delivery commitments. You know exactly what ships and when.
03
During sprint
Rapid Build (AI-Assisted)
We use AI tooling to accelerate delivery. What takes a traditional agency two weeks takes us two days — production-ready, documented, handed over cleanly.
04
End of sprint
Sprint Review
Every sprint closes with a clear review: what shipped, what didn't and why, and what's queued for next cycle. Full transparency, every time.
Unlimited Backlog
Capture every idea without limit. Submit requests any time — automations you thought of at 11pm, migrations spotted mid-meeting, system fixes that come up in a call. Nothing gets lost. Everything gets captured. We plan together at the start of each sprint.
Strict Delivery Capacity
We only commit to what fits the sprint. That constraint is a feature — it ensures quality, prevents scope creep, and means everything we ship is tested, documented, and production-ready. If it doesn't fit this sprint, it's first in queue for the next one.

What we do
Productivity Suite Implementation & Migration
Secure, planned migrations across M365, Google Workspace, and Infomaniak. We handle DNS cutover, data migration, permissions mapping, and user onboarding — with zero surprise downtime.
Power Platform & Automation
Custom Power Apps, Power Automate flows, and data pipelines built with AI efficiency. We turn manual processes into automated workflows that actually get used.
System Architecture
End-to-end infrastructure design for SMEs that have outgrown spreadsheets and duct-tape systems. We map your current state, design your target state, and build toward it sprint by sprint.
Fractional Product Ownership
No internal tech lead? We act as yours. We manage your digital roadmap, own your backlog, and keep development aligned to business outcomes — not just technical ones.
Business Intelligence
Dashboards, reporting pipelines, and data models that turn raw business data into clear, actionable insight. We connect your systems, surface the numbers that matter, and deliver reports your team will actually use.
Business Systems Advisory
Tool selection, technology roadmapping, build vs buy decisions, and executive-level IT oversight. Strategic thinking without the governance overhead.

The founder
Liam Dougan
Business Systems Specialist
Background
15+ years in IT across several sectors. Service Desk, Desktop & Infrastructure Support, Systems Administration, Business Analysis & Product Ownership.

If your business runs on Microsoft 365, Power Platform, or any productivity system you need building, implementing, or fixing — this is where you come. Acceladus Business Systems is where I personally architect and deliver the work. You're not handed off to a junior, like a traditional consulting firm. You work with me, directly, every sprint.

M365 is my home turf — Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Entra ID, Defender. Power Platform is where I build — Power Automate flows, Power Apps, Power BI reporting, Dataverse. But it doesn't stop there: if it's a business system and it needs to be stood up, migrated, integrated, or supported, the backlog is open.

15+ years of hands-on experience across service desk, infrastructure, systems administration, and product ownership means I've seen what breaks in migrations, what fails in automation rollouts, and where architecture decisions come back to bite. That pattern recognition is what you're buying — not just implementation hours.

Structured sprint cycles mean you see progress every month, not six months later — and the backlog keeps the work transparent, prioritised, and never lost.

Questions
Your backlog is genuinely unlimited — submit as many ideas, requests, and tasks as you like, at any time. The limit applies to delivery: each plan has a fixed number of hours per sprint. At the start of each cycle, we review the backlog together and select the highest-value items that fit within your sprint capacity. Everything else stays safely queued for future sprints. Think of it as unlimited input with a controlled, quality-assured output.
Anything not completed rolls forward to the next sprint as the top priority — it doesn't disappear and you don't lose what you've paid for. At the sprint review, we're transparent about what shipped and what didn't, and we adjust prioritisation together before the next cycle begins. Partial work is documented so there's no knowledge loss between sprints.
Yes. Plans run month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel or pause. There are no long-term contracts or penalty clauses. If your workload drops or you need to step back for a quarter, you can. We'd rather you return when you're ready than feel locked in.
No. All plans are fully remote and work across time zones. If an in-person visit is ever needed, it can be arranged separately at £650/day (ex. VAT) — this applies regardless of duration, including shorter visits. If you're outside the UK and want to discuss in-person options, get in touch and we'll work something out.
Primarily capacity and cadence. Starter (£1,250/month) gives you 16 hours (approx. 2 days) with monthly prioritisation — ideal for a single focused project, an M365 migration, or getting a Power Automate flow off the ground. Standard (£2,500/month) doubles the capacity to 32 hours and shifts to bi-weekly prioritisation sessions, which is better for ongoing workstreams with evolving requirements across multiple systems. If you're unsure, book a scope call and we'll map your backlog to advise honestly.
Yes, in-person visits can be arranged as an add-on to any plan. They are charged at £650/day (ex. VAT) regardless of duration — a two-hour on-site session is billed the same as a full day. This keeps things simple and consistent. In-person time works well for stakeholder workshops, system walkthroughs, or hands-on build sessions.
I do. Acceladus Business Systems is not an agency. I'm a single expert — Liam — and every sprint is personally architected and delivered by me. You're not passed to a project manager who delegates to a junior. You work with the same person you had the scope call with, every sprint.
