Think of it as a comprehensive health checkup for your IT infrastructure. Here's what we typically uncover.
Software licenses for employees who left years ago. Duplicate tools. Cloud services ballooning 300%. Maintenance for hardware you don't use.
Outdated software with known vulnerabilities. Excessive permissions. Former employees with active accounts. Critical data not encrypted.
Planning to grow 50% next year? Can your infrastructure handle it? We assess capacity vs. demand before you find out the hard way.
Acquisition? Cloud migration? New ERP? A technology assessment before major changes prevents expensive surprises.
A systematic review of your entire IT environment. We document everything, identify what's working and what isn't, and give you actionable recommendations.
Comprehensive evaluation across six critical areas of your technology environment.
We examine your entire infrastructure from servers to cloud services.
We catalog every application with usage metrics and cost analysis.
We evaluate your security posture and identify vulnerabilities.
We check compliance with industry regulations and standards.
We analyze system performance and forecast capacity needs.
We calculate total technology costs and identify savings.
A proven 5-week process that delivers comprehensive results with minimal disruption.
Kickoff meeting to understand your business and objectives. Gather initial documentation. Plan assessment schedule to minimize disruption.
Conduct detailed assessment using automated scanning tools. Interview key staff. Review configurations, logs, and performance data. Test critical systems.
Analyze all findings and develop recommendations. Prioritize issues by risk and business impact. Estimate costs for remediation. Create phased implementation plan.
Present findings to leadership team. Deliver comprehensive report with executive summary, detailed findings, and action plan. Provide 6-12 month technology roadmap.
Comprehensive documentation and actionable roadmap.
High-level overview of findings, key risks, and top recommendations. Written for C-suite and board review. Usually 2-4 pages.
Detailed list of every system, application, and device. Include specifications, versions, support status, and costs.
All issues identified, categorized by severity. Security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, performance problems, operational risks.
Specific, actionable recommendations with implementation steps. Prioritized by business impact and urgency. Cost estimates included.
6-12 month plan showing when to tackle each initiative. Sequenced to minimize disruption and maximize ROI. Includes quick wins.
Expected costs vs. benefits for major recommendations. ROI calculations where applicable. Potential cost savings identified.
Here's what shows up in almost every assessment we conduct.
Unpatched systems with known vulnerabilities. Weak passwords. Excessive user permissions. No security monitoring. Former employees with active accounts.
Software licenses nobody uses (average waste: 15-30%). Over-provisioned cloud resources. Duplicate tools. Support contracts for obsolete hardware.
End-of-life systems still in production. Custom code nobody understands. Manual processes crying out for automation. Integration nightmares.
Systems at 80%+ capacity with no expansion plan. Architecture that won't support growth. Single points of failure. Inadequate backup and recovery.
People use these terms interchangeably, but there's a subtle difference. We do both, often combined.
Broader review focused on optimization and strategy. Looks at whether you have the right technology to meet business objectives. Forward-looking and advisory.
More focused on compliance and controls. Verifies that systems meet specific standards or regulations. Often required for compliance (SOX, HIPAA, etc.). More formal and structured.
You should consider an assessment if any of these apply.
You haven't had a comprehensive review in 2+ years
You're experiencing performance issues or system failures
Your IT costs keep rising but you're not sure why
You're planning significant growth or change
You need compliance certification and want to pass
Your CTO or IT director just left
You're considering major technology investments
You've had a security incident or near-miss
You're evaluating a merger or acquisition target
You're evaluating a merger or acquisition target
Pricing depends on size, complexity, and depth of assessment needed.
For companies with less than 50 users and straightforward infrastructure
For companies with 50-500 users and moderate complexity
For companies with 500+ users, multiple locations, or complex environments
Most clients recover the assessment cost within 6 months through identified savings and avoided problems. One prevented security breach or system failure pays for the entire assessment.
