Start with a free IT assessment

An IT assessment is a look at how your business runs and what technology it has, so we both start from facts. It begins with a 30-minute call and no pitch. Then we look at your setup, on site or remotely.

It's for any business that wants an honest picture before deciding anything: what's working, what's risky, and what's in the way. You don't need to give us access to your systems for the call.

If it's a fit, the next step is a Blueprint: a written plan of what to fix, simplify, automate and build, in order. The plan is yours to take anywhere.

Is an IT assessment right for your business?

You're not sure what technology you have, who has access to it, or what it costs
Your IT mostly works, but nobody has looked at the whole picture in a while
You're about to hire, move or open a location and want to know where IT stands
An insurer or client has started asking about your IT and you'd like straight answers
You're thinking about changing IT provider and want a view you can trust

What does an IT assessment cover?

How the business runs day to day, and where technology helps or gets in the way
The computers, accounts, network, phones and email you have today
Who holds the admin access, and whether it's in your name
Whether backups exist, and whether anyone has tried a restore
What to change first, explained in plain English

These are examples of what we do, not the limit of it.

What happens in an IT assessment?

An IT assessment starts with a 30-minute call. You tell us how the business runs and what gets in the way, and we ask questions and listen. There's no pitch.

Then we look at what you have: the computers, accounts, network, phones and email, and how they're used. That can happen on site or remotely, whichever suits you.

What does an IT assessment cost?

A free IT assessment has no price to weigh up. What comes after depends on what we find: how many people and devices you have, how many locations, how much is already in place and in good shape, and whether the work is a one-off project or ongoing care.

If it leads to a Blueprint, that is the written plan of what to fix, simplify, automate and build, in order. You decide what happens next.

IT assessment or just a quote?

A quote answers one question: what it costs to do the thing you asked for. An IT assessment looks at the whole business first, so the thing you asked for is the right thing.

If you already know exactly what you need, such as a set of laptops or a phone system, a quote may be all you need, and we can give you one. The assessment helps when you aren't sure what to ask for.

Who is an IT assessment for, and who can skip it?

An IT assessment fits a business that doesn't have a clear picture of its technology, is about to change something big, or is being asked questions by an insurer or client.

If you have an IT provider you trust, you know what you have and who holds the keys, you may not need one. A second opinion can still help when a move or a new location is coming.

What happens if you skip the IT assessment?

Nothing dramatic. Decisions get made without the whole picture: a tool is bought that overlaps with one you already have, an old account stays open, a backup is assumed rather than checked.

An IT assessment swaps those assumptions for facts, in plain English, before you spend anything.

What is a Blueprint, and when does it follow an IT assessment?

A Blueprint is a written plan of what to fix, simplify, automate and build, in order. If the IT assessment shows we're a fit, it's the next step.

The plan is yours to take anywhere. You can act on it with us, with another provider, or with your own IT person.

Questions

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. The free IT assessment is a 30-minute call and a look at how your business runs. There's no pitch, and no pressure to go further.

What happens after the assessment?

If it's a fit, we write a Blueprint: a written plan of what to fix, simplify, automate and build, in order. If it isn't, you still leave with a clearer picture of where you stand.

Can we take the plan to someone else?

Yes. The plan is yours, and you can take it to anyone.

Do you need access to our systems?

Not for the call. For the look at your setup, we agree with you what we'll see first, and we work in your accounts only with your permission.
