What Are the Benefits of IT Consulting Services?

Businesses often have a clear project or goal in mind before they reach out to speak with us. But other times, they might not understand exactly what an IT consultant can brings to the table, or whether it’s better to go it alone.

IT Projects Done On-Budget, On-Time
Complex IT projects that can quickly exhaust a modest IT budget. With our help, we’ll help you get the lowest possible price on the hardware you need and complete your project without budget overruns or unexpected expenses.

We offer world-class IT expertise delivered by a friendly team of local professionals, who always speak to you in straightforward plain English.

IT Strategy & Planning
Businesses that lack a long-term IT strategy are leaving money productivity and cost savins on the table. The Astute Technology Management team will sit down with your leaders and work out a strategy that ensures long-term competitiveness.

Frustrated by poor cabling your office or server room. The right cabling, done by a team of experts, can make your office a more enjoyable place to work, improve regular maintenance tasks, and improve safety.


Cybersecurity Risk Assessments and Audits

Maybe you don’t feel that you need a fully managed cybersecurity solution, but you’re worried that cybersecurity intrusion, ransomware, phishing attacks, and threats from the dark web could undermine the productivity of your business, or wors.

The Astute Technology Management team will perform a comprehensive cybersecurity risk audit to help you find where you’re vulnerable and how you should spend your limited security budget.

Here are just some of the elements that would include:

Network Scanning
Specialized tools allow us to find unpatched software on your network and other vulnerabilities.

Network Policy Audit
Does your company have the right rules and guidelines to ensure that only authorized individuals are accessing sensitive data?

Access Controls and Authentication Audit
We’ll examine your two-factor authentication system and other digital and physical access controls to ensure unwanted elements are being kept out.

Firewall Audit
Having firewalls in place is important to network perimeter defense, but only if your policies and rules are configured correctly.

Regulatory Compliance Consulting

Struggling with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FINRA/SEC, or another regulatory compliance standard? Let the consulting team at Astute Technology clarify your shortfalls and design a clear, actionable plan for bringing your data security controls in-line with the latest standards.


Virtual Chief Information Officer: On-Demand IT Consulting

Businesses that want a seasoned IT consultant to help guide their strategy over the long term look to our vCIO team for help.

For a fraction of the cost of hiring a chief information officer (CIO), you get an IT consultant who will sit down and have regular meetings with your business leaders.

During those meetings, we’ll listen to the latest news in your business, learn about your goals, and help you strategize a way to align your IT and business goals.

The Benefits of Business-IT Alignment
What does it mean when you have your business and IT in alignment? It doesn’t just mean having the right technology for the staff—though that’s a big part. It also means using technology to bring your business strategy, operations, finances, and risk management processes into lockstep.

It’s a holistic, organization-wide concept that pays huge dividends when it’s done right. Some of those benefits include:

  1. Improved Collaboration

  2. Better Client Experience

  3. Efficient IT Resources Usage

  4. Clear, Long-term Budgets

  5. Competitive Market Advantage

Do You Need an IT Consultant, or IT Services?

When you hire Astute Technology Management as a technology consulting services firm, the engagement is a one-time, flat rate project engagement. That means pre-defined scope or work, toward a very specific goal.

That’s different than the managed IT services that we offer, which are all-inclusive IT management solutions that arm you with all the support your business needs to thrive.

Have a question about which one is right for your business? Reach out and talk to our friendly team at today at 614 389 4102 or [email protected]. We’d be happy to find the right solution to your problem.
