IT Consultancy FAQs
Our IT consultancy covers technology audits, infrastructure planning, cloud migration strategy, cybersecurity reviews, software selection, and digital transformation roadmaps. We assess your current setup and recommend practical improvements aligned to your business goals.
Yes. Small businesses often benefit the most because they lack in-house IT expertise. We help SMEs avoid costly mistakes like choosing the wrong software, over-spending on infrastructure, or leaving security gaps. Engagements can be as short as a one-day audit.
We start with an assessment of your current systems, then build a phased migration plan. We handle data migration, application reconfiguration, testing, and staff training. Most small-to-medium migrations to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud take 4 to 8 weeks.
It depends on scope. A focused project like digitising a paper-based process takes 4 to 6 weeks. A full digital transformation involving multiple systems, training, and process redesign can take 3 to 12 months. We break it into phases so you see value quickly.
No. We are vendor-neutral and recommend tools based on your needs, not commission arrangements. Whether the right solution is Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, open-source software, or a specialist SaaS product, we advise objectively.
