Why Full On Consulting
Built for Programs That Can't Fail
Your Program Isn't a Training Ground
When a program can't fail, you can't afford junior consultants learning on your dime. Every Full On engagement is led and delivered by senior practitioners who have run programs like yours before — no junior bench, ever. The people who win your business are the people who do the work.
We Protect What's at Risk — $40M+ Saved
When a client faced a catastrophic data center fire, our team led the crisis response, migrated their entire SAP environment, and saved over $40 million. Whether we're rescuing an off-track program or stopping a failing one before it doubles in cost, we're measured by what we protect — not the hours we bill.
On Time. On Budget. For 25+ Years.
From manufacturing and distribution to financial services and a $16B merger across 24 countries, we deliver enterprise IT programs that land on schedule and on budget. Senior judgment from kickoff to go-live is why our track record is measured in outcomes, not billable hours.

Your Starting Point
What Brought You Here?
Most of our best engagements started with one of these six conversations. Which one is yours?
We need CIO-level leadership, but not a full-time CIO
A former CIO leading your IT strategy, priorities and vendors, one to three days a week.
See how we help →We need an honest read on our IT
An independent IT & AI assessment in 4 to 8 weeks, ending in a decision memo and a priced roadmap.
See how we help →Our CIO just left
Leadership gaps don't wait. An interim CIO keeps IT moving and sets up your next hire to succeed.
See how we help →We're trying to build an AI strategy
Most AI initiatives fail before they start. We build strategies that lead to real business outcomes.
See how we help →We're buying a company or just closed a deal
Technology due diligence before the LOI and IT integration through the first 100 days.

How We Help Our Clients
Full On Consulting provides fractional CIO and interim CIO leadership and independent IT & AI assessments for mid-market companies. When the roadmap calls for it, we also lead the work: program recovery, ERP and SAP programs, cloud and digital transformation. Every engagement is led by a former CIO who stays involved from the first interview to the result. Headquartered in Central Florida, we provide Central Florida IT consulting locally and serve clients nationwide.

Donald D. Hook
Founder & CEO
Former CTO • 20+ Years Enterprise IT Leadership
Why I Founded Full On Consulting
I spent 25+ years inside enterprise IT — including 16 years at NTT Data leading large-scale technology programs, and years as CTO of a $400M+ distribution company. During that time, I watched the same frustrating pattern repeat itself: companies hired big consulting firms expecting senior expertise, and ended up with junior consultants once the contract was signed.
I founded Full On Consulting in 2017 with one non-negotiable commitment: every client gets our most senior consultants on every engagement. No bait-and-switch. No junior bench. The people who win your business are the people who do the work.
The results speak for themselves. When one of our clients faced a catastrophic data center fire, our team led the crisis response — migrating their entire SAP environment to the cloud and saving the company over $40 million. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

Heard Directly From the People We Serve
I want to thank you for your diligence in a very difficult assignment. Wagner did not have a solid foundation for the project we engaged in and your assessment and ability to provide guidance and tools were what we needed.
Chief Executive Officer
Wagner Companies
IT Assessment & Strategy
We're now running like a well-oiled machine, and even finished the meeting early. We have clear line of sight and transparency relative to what we need to advance and monitor. Great project management is key to getting to this point, especially on a critical, rushed, and emergency effort. Much appreciated, Don.
VP of PMO
DRiV
Mexico eInvoicing Program
Don stepped in on day 6 with an executive readout — having learned his role just two days earlier. He delivered a clear, confident status update to HR leadership and never slowed down. Three months later, the HR team was ahead of every other functional group on UAT for a major technology split. His calm, positive leadership kept the program on track from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Full On Consulting different from large IT consulting firms?+
Full On Consulting staffs every engagement with senior consultants only — there is no junior bench. Large firms typically win the work with senior partners, then deliver it with consultants two years out of school. At Full On, the people who win your business are the people who do the work. Every engagement is led by practitioners with 25+ years of enterprise IT experience.
What IT consulting services does Full On Consulting offer?+
Full On Consulting delivers IT leadership and strategy (interim and fractional CIO/CTO, IT strategy, enterprise architecture), project and program management (including PMaaS and program rescue), enterprise platform delivery (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow), AI, data, and cloud advisory, and cybersecurity and risk services. Engagements range from single project recovery to multi-year enterprise transformation programs.
Does Full On Consulting only serve clients in Florida?+
No. Full On Consulting is based in Florida but serves enterprise and mid-market clients across the United States. The firm has delivered programs spanning 24 countries, and most engagements are conducted with a combination of on-site and remote senior consultants depending on the needs of the program.
How much does it cost to work with Full On Consulting?+
Cost depends on the engagement model. IT & AI Assessments start at $10,000, with a fixed fee agreed before work starts. Fractional CIO and CTO retainers range from $8,000 to $15,000 per month, and full-time interim CIO or CTO engagements from $20,000 to $35,000 per month. Project, program management, and platform delivery engagements are scoped to the specific initiative. Because Full On uses senior practitioners rather than large leveraged teams, clients frequently pay less in total than they would for a big-firm engagement padded with junior staff.
What kinds of companies does Full On Consulting work with?+
Full On Consulting works with enterprise and mid-market organizations across manufacturing, distribution, automotive, insurance, financial services, ecommerce, private equity, and non-profits. The firm specializes in high-stakes situations: SAP and ERP implementations, off-track or over-budget programs that need rescuing, IT leadership gaps, post-M&A integration, and AI strategy.
Can Full On Consulting take over an IT program that is already failing?+
Yes. Program and project recovery is one of Full On Consulting's core specialties. The firm has repeatedly stepped into red-status programs — including an independent audit of a $20.9M benefits transformation that averted an estimated $20M loss, and a manufacturing ecommerce platform that was more than two years overdue — assessed the situation, and brought delivery back on track.
