IT Consulting & Assessments in Surrey
A clear picture of what you have, what is at risk and what to fix first, plus a technology roadmap that matches your budget and plans.
// Overview
Know Where You Stand Before You Spend
Most technology decisions in a growing business get made one emergency at a time: a new laptop when the old one dies, a quick fix when the server slows down. Over a few years that adds up to an IT setup nobody fully understands, with risks nobody has written down.
Our IT consulting starts with a free IT assessment of your devices, network, Microsoft 365, backups and security. You get a plain-English report with a red, amber and green rating for each area and the fixes in order of priority. From there, we can build a technology roadmap and budget, act as your virtual CIO in quarterly reviews, or support your in-house IT person with co-managed IT.

// Why us
Why Start With an Assessment

The assessment and report are yours to keep, whether or not you work with us.
Priorities, not a sales list
Fixes are ordered by risk and cost, and we tell you which ones you can do yourself.
Budget clarity
You see one-time costs and monthly costs separately, before you commit to anything.
Plain-English report
Written for owners and managers, not just for IT people.

// FAQ
IT Consulting & Assessments Questions
What does the free IT assessment involve?
A short call about your business, then a visit or remote review of your computers, network, Microsoft 365, backups and security. It usually takes one to two hours of your time in total. You get a written summary with priorities.
What is a virtual CIO?
A vCIO is a senior IT advisor who meets with you regularly, usually quarterly, to plan budgets, review risks and keep your technology aligned with the business, without the cost of a full-time executive.
We already have an IT person. Can you still help?
Yes. Co-managed IT gives your in-house person tools, back-up and a team to call on, so they can focus on projects instead of password resets.
