Hire someone, use a transition shop, sell to an aggregator, or build it yourself - here is where a tech-forward, hands-on partner actually fits, and where it does not.
| In-house hire | Transition shop | Aggregator | Sliceo | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Modernizes systems | Sometimes | Rarely | On their terms | Yes |
| Builds automations | Limited | No | No | Yes |
| Ongoing, not one-time | Yes | No | N/A | Yes |
| Knowledge stays if people leave | No | Partial | N/A | Documented |
| You keep ownership | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Cost | Full salary+ | Project fee | You sell | Scoped, per-service |
Illustrative comparison of typical approaches - your situation may differ.
A single ops hire helps, but they still work inside the same manual tools and leave when they leave. Sliceo builds the connected systems and automations that make your whole team faster, documents them so the knowledge stays, and stands behind the result - for less than a full-time salary.
Transition shops do the one-time labor of moving accounts, then hand you back to manual work. Sliceo prepares and migrates too, but then modernizes and automates the ongoing operation and stays accountable - you don't go back to email tag when the migration ends.
Aggregators buy you at a discount and run their playbook. Sliceo helps you get stronger first - cleaner systems and data raise your value - and, when you're ready, runs a confidential, two-sided process that matches you on price, culture, and fit, like selling a home.
You can, and some do. But DIY automations tend to break quietly, live in one person's head, and never touch the harder integrations. Sliceo builds them properly, tests in a sandbox first, and maintains them - so they keep working when you're not watching.
