MANAGED IT
IT Consulting for Australian Businesses: Strategy, Planning and Advice
Practical technology advice from people who run IT every day. We help you plan, budget and decide, so every dollar you spend supports your business goals.
Advice you can act on
Technology decisions are easy to get wrong when you are busy running a business. Which cloud platform? Replace or repair? How secure is secure enough? We give straight, independent advice and a written plan you can follow.
We are not tied to one vendor. We recommend what fits your size, budget and risk, and we will tell you when something is not worth buying.
Consulting can be a one-off review or an ongoing role as your virtual IT manager. When you are ready to hand over the day-to-day, see IT outsourcing.

IT consulting questions
What businesses ask before engaging a consultant.
What does an IT consultant do?
An IT consultant reviews how your business uses technology, identifies risks and wasted spend, and recommends a practical plan to improve security, reliability and value.
Do you only recommend products you sell?
No. We recommend what fits your needs. If the best answer is something we do not sell, we will say so.
How much does consulting cost?
It depends on the scope. We quote a fixed fee for reviews and defined projects, and offer a monthly arrangement for an ongoing virtual IT manager.
Can you assess our cyber security?
Yes. We assess your environment against the Essential Eight and give you a prioritised list of what to fix first.
Can you act as our IT manager?
Yes. Our virtual IT manager service gives you regular senior-level guidance, planning and vendor management without a full-time hire.
