IT Advisory Services

In order to achieve a competitive edge, your IT needs to be strategically aligned with your business objectives. This strategic alignment enables your business to choose IT applications that meet your needs, to enhance profitability and reduce costs. Our IT Alignment Audit is a dynamic assessment that provides you with a 360˚ view of your organisation’s information technology landscape, and how it compares to the “best practice” initiative, called Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Our objective is to align your strategic and tactical objectives, closing the gap between business and IT – allowing you to achieve an improved financial performance or marketplace competitiveness.

• Network inventory to discover devices currently running on the network
• Analysis of the network devices to identify obsolete devices
• Assessing the performance of the network, e.g. bottlenecks, TCP issues, etc.
• Review of the network architecture to eliminate single points of failure
• Security assessment of network devices including security compliant configuration, bugs, and vulnerabilities

We work with your team to clarify and gain an understanding of your business requirements. We look at the value various services and processes that IT delivers to your business. We then map where they transition across all three layers of the cloud: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This includes a full security assessment. From this, we create a cloud architecture blueprint and roadmap that combines application, public, private, community or hybrid cloud solutions.

We believe that every business, no matter the size, deserves to have a CIO (Chief Information Officer) on their side. Each of our vCIOs (virtual Chief Information Officer) becomes an integrated and trusted member of your team, always taking into consideration what is in your best interest and the impact to your business and people. We can even screen and interview for IT job positions in your organisation on your behalf. Our vCIO services help businesses plan for the future, achieve greater internal efficiencies and a competitive advantage.
