IT Assessments
Advice given without looking at your systems is guesswork. An assessment is the looking.
We document your systems, licenses, contracts and dependencies, including the ones nobody wrote down. Most businesses this size have at least one thing running on hardware or a service nobody has thought about in years.
We look for single points of failure and spend that no longer buys anything, along with the gaps a cyber insurer or auditor is likely to ask about. In The Firewall That Was Never Plugged In, that kind of inventory found a local government's firewall had never been connected.
Spend is often spread across more vendors than anyone has counted. What six IT vendors actually cost you shows how that adds up, and vendor management takes them on afterward.
What you get is a written report. It's useful even if you do nothing else with us, and it becomes the reference every later decision is made against, starting with a technology roadmap. Assessments are part of our IT consulting services.
What We Include in IT Assessments
- An inventory of systems, licenses, contracts and renewal dates.
- Single points of failure, named and ranked.
- Total technology spend across every vendor, in one figure.
- Gaps an insurer or auditor would ask about.
- A written report you keep, in language you can act on.
In their words
Questions About IT Assessments
Will this disrupt our staff?
Very little. Most of it is reading configurations and contracts, plus short conversations with the people who use the systems daily. Those conversations usually surface the things no configuration shows.
Do we get the report even if we go elsewhere?
Yes. You paid for it and it's about your business. Handing it over only if you sign would turn it into a sales document.
