IT Consultants provide all the expertise for a fixed fee and period of time so that your organization can have a single predictable expense without the added complexities of dealing with each vendor required to complete the project.

IT Consultants help your organization minimize costs by allowing you to spend money on talent and expertise only when needed. Hiring full-time employees for a project is a time-consuming matter as you will have to go through a lengthy interview and on-boarding process to set up benefits and workspace. Once completed, you would then have to go through an off-boarding process and deal with any assets that are no longer needed. Multiple employees might be needed as there is a lot of expertise required to make the project on budget and on time.

Hardware and software vendors would also need to be reviewed, maintained, and organized in a manner that would produce an efficient schedule for completion. IT Consultants maintain relationships with vendors and stay up to date with the latest innovations and security threats so that your organization can focus on its goals.

Benefits that an IT Consultant provide:

• Discovery: Conduct a review of the necessary project milestones and gain a better understanding of the overall project goal.

• Risk Management and Compliance: Evaluate all the security requirements and any regulations and standards that might apply, i.e. GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, ISO, etc.

• Cost Management: Evaluate all the costs associated with implementation and on-going maintenance of the project.

• Planning and Development: Produce a schedule to meet the project milestones after producing an outline of the hardware and technologies required to complete the project.

• Implementation and Maintenance: Taking the project from design all the way to production and providing a means to support the project, i.e. updating software, helpdesk for issues, and maintaining security standards, with internal teams or managed services.
