Invictus Partners is an independent enterprise-software advisory founded in 2014 by Doug Gibson. It states plainly that it does not resell, implement, or audit software, which removes the most common conflicts of interest in this market, and it runs a structured three-phase audit-defence methodology — a mock internal audit, a remediation strategy, and negotiation advisory — across Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, IBM, and VMware. Its team is staffed substantially by former vendor auditors, with named SAP and IBM practice leads, and it operates from Australia across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, the US, and Singapore.
