Frequently Asked Questions
How is a technology assessment different from regular IT support?
Regular IT support focuses on keeping your systems running day-to-day. A technology assessment is a comprehensive, strategic evaluation of your entire IT environment—identifying inefficiencies, security risks, and opportunities for improvement that might not be visible during routine operations.
Do I need an assessment if I already have an IT team or MSP?
Absolutely. Think of it like getting a second medical opinion. Even the best IT teams benefit from an unbiased, external perspective. We often discover issues that internal teams are too close to see, or validate that your current setup is on the right track. Either way, you gain valuable insights.
How long does a technology assessment take?
Most assessments take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on your organization's size and complexity. This includes the initial consultation, on-site survey (typically 1-2 days), analysis period, and final report presentation.
What will you need from us during the assessment?
We'll need access to your IT infrastructure for the on-site survey, interviews with key stakeholders, and documentation of your current systems (if available). We work around your schedule to minimize disruption to daily operations.
Will the assessment disrupt our business operations?
No. We conduct assessments during business hours with minimal impact. The on-site survey is observational and non-invasive. We don't make changes to your systems during the assessment—we only evaluate and recommend.
What happens after the assessment is complete?
You'll receive a comprehensive report with findings, recommendations, and a prioritized roadmap. We'll present the results in a detailed review meeting and answer all questions. You're then free to implement recommendations yourself, with your current IT team/vendor, or we can help if you choose.
How much does a technology assessment cost?
We offer a Free Initial IT Assessment to get you started. For comprehensive holistic assessments, pricing depends on your organization's size and complexity. However, most clients save significantly more than the assessment cost within the first year of implementing recommendations.
Can you assess specific areas rather than our entire IT environment?
Yes. While we recommend holistic assessments for the most value, we can focus on specific areas like security, cloud infrastructure, network performance, or disaster recovery if you have particular concerns.
What if we're already working with another IT provider?
That's perfectly fine. Our assessment is objective and unbiased. We're not trying to replace your current provider—we're giving you an independent evaluation. Many businesses use our assessments to improve their existing IT partnerships.
