Consulting - IT Health & Cost

Small businesses do not have the luxury of full time resources focused on information security, disaster recovery, change control or general IT efficiency. We provide a straight forward approach, looking at all of these aspects and providing a full report on what we find along with recommendations on any improvements required. We focus on areas such as:

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Helping you identify what your critical needs are and how best to achieve them if the worst was to happen. Surveys have shown that over 30% of companies have no disaster recovery plan and of those that do over 60% do not have them audited or tested.

Information Security & Privacy

How secure is your wireless? Is the data encrypted on your laptop? Are you abiding by Data Protection Law? Who can access sensitive data? These and many other questions often expose gaps that can lead to data loss or a lawsuit.

Change Management

Let's face it change management is hardly exciting but it is important. You may not think so until your entire customer or accounting database is accidentally erased and you discover there was no back-up. Processes do not need to be overly cumbersome but you do need control.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

This has become a buzzword in IT over the last few years but as with most things it's mainly about common sense. Looking at how equipment is provisioned, depreciated, supported, etc gives the real picture of where your money is going on IT, and more importantly where you can save money.
