IT Consulting & Strategy
IT consulting for businesses without an IT department
Get a senior IT perspective without hiring a full-time IT manager. We look at what you have, tell you plainly what matters and build a plan that fits your budget. Then we can carry it out for you.
Sound familiar?
Common problems we fix
- Your “IT person” is whoever in the office is best with computers.
- You pay for software and subscriptions nobody is sure you need.
- A vendor quoted a big project and you can’t tell if it’s fair.
- You’re growing and your setup isn’t keeping up.
What’s included
IT Consulting & Strategy services
IT assessment
An inventory of your hardware, accounts, licenses, network and backups, with the real risks called out in plain English.
Technology roadmap
A plan ranked by impact and cost that shows what to fix now, what can wait and what to budget for next year.
Cost reduction review
Find wasted licenses, overlapping subscriptions, overpriced hosting and telecom you can cut or consolidate.
Quote & vendor review
A second opinion on quotes, contracts and hardware purchases, so you buy what you actually need.
New office & growth planning
Office moves, new locations and hiring waves, planned so that internet, Wi-Fi, phones and accounts are ready on day one.
Documentation & policies
Passwords, onboarding and offboarding checklists, and system documentation so no single person or vendor holds you hostage.

Frequently asked questions
How is IT consulting different from IT support?
Consulting is the planning and decision-making: what to buy, what to fix and in what order. Unlike many consultants, we also do the implementation, so you are not left with a report and nobody to carry it out.
What does the free consultation include?
A no-pressure conversation about your current setup, pain points and goals. You leave with honest next steps whether or not you hire us.
Do we have to replace everything?
Usually not. We start by getting more out of what you already own and only recommend replacing equipment or software when it saves money, reduces risk or is past end of life.
