What Types of IT Consulting Services Does YourTECHmates Offer?

YourTECHmates offers you a comprehensive suite of IT consulting services. When you need expert assistance, our IT consultants provide a local presence, deep resources, and exceptional expertise.

From IT strategy to IT budgeting, from business continuity planning to cloud and data migration services and beyond, YourTECHmates’s IT consultants help you keep pace with today’s fast-moving IT landscape.

Assistance with strategic IT planning is one of our most frequently requested services. We think of strategic IT as a core competitive strength, helping you to invest in the right technologies to prepare your company today for tomorrow’s challenges.
YourTECHmates IT consultants will work with you to document a detailed strategic plan that maps your business goals to short-term and long-term action plans to achieve those goals.

IT budgeting goes hand in hand with strategic IT planning. But trying to build a technology budget without a clear understanding of what your company needs is frustrating.

YourTECHmates IT consultants work with you to develop a realistic IT budget that incorporates both your own assets and resources, plus the projected costs of the new technology that will deliver the most value to your organization and help you reach your business goals.

Chances are your network has developed gradually over time, with layers of hardware and software that may now be contributing to unintended security gaps or inefficiencies.

YourTECHmates IT consultants can conduct a comprehensive review of your IT environment and examine how your current technology is helping or hindering your business. You receive a written evaluation of the key areas that need improvement, with prioritized recommendations.

As your business relies more heavily on technology, the inherent risks increase as well. A single data breach or ransomware attack can cause huge financial, legal, and reputational damages.

Our comprehensive cybersecurity assessment identifies your level of risk and defines a mitigation approach to minimize and manage your threats and vulnerabilities.

Many organizations are bound by compliance regulations and standards, such as HIPAA, FINRA, PCI-DSS, NIST/CMMC, and ISO standards.

YourTECHmates provides compliance-readiness risk assessments, gap analysis, and remediation planning, along with audit preparation. Our IT consulting experts make sure your organization has a clear and well-documented framework that leads to successful industry compliance!

Many businesses are transferring their data and applications from on-premises data centers to private or public clouds, typically to reduce costs, increase security, and build redundancy.

Our IT consultancy helps you develop the right cloud migration strategy, including having the right cloud security in place. We take you through the pros and cons, help you evaluate cloud providers, calculate costs, and then implement a plan to ensure a successful cloud migration project.

Business interruptions happen, and a continuity and disaster recovery plan is vital to keep your company up and running through whatever crisis you might face.

As an information technology consulting firm, YourTECHmates helps you formulate a BC/DR plan that encompasses how employees communicate in a crisis, where they go to find the information they need, and how they can access the tools and processes they need to perform their jobs in any situation.

A vCIO is a semi-dedicated IT executive who provides short- or long-term support for IT strategy, operations, and leadership. If your business needs strategic direction but you don’t have the budget for a full-time CIO, a vCIO is an excellent choice to help you set your priorities and manage your day-to-day technology operations.

Our seasoned vCIOs have helped hundreds of other companies navigate the same challenges you’re facing.

Business growth requires a balance of efficiency, collaboration, and speed—and that’s what our custom application development solutions deliver.

Common solutions include efficiently automating complex processes or creating a “clean handshake” between internal and external business systems. Whatever your needs may be, if you can’t find the right software off the shelf, our expert IT consulting team can build a custom application that delivers exactly what you want.

What Are the Benefits of IT Consulting Services?

he primary benefit of partnering with YourTECHmates’s IT consultants is that you get the expertise without the expense. You gain immediate access to a team of 350+ expert technicians—24/7/365 — without having to recruit and manage this expertise yourself.

You gain access to a wealth of specialized talent, proven best practices, and winning processes, all based on thousands of hours of experience across hundreds of businesses.

That’s the primary benefit. But there are actually eight more benefits of IT consulting services.

IT-expertise-icon-01


In many small and mid-sized companies, in-house IT staff are generalists. With an external IT consultant, however, you can gain specialized skills, in-depth knowledge about current solutions, and the tools and capabilities your organization requires.

Faster Project Completion


Many consultants engage quickly and require minimal time to get up to speed. They also work quickly, as they bring the right experience and tools to every project.

Potential Cost Savings


An IT specialist often can complete technology projects using fewer resources than your in-house team might need. The consultant will give you an accurate upfront estimate regarding the cost of the engagement, and once the project is complete, you won’t need to keep the specialist on the payroll.

Skills Transfer



A consultant can share expertise and provide training throughout the engagement, resulting in a stronger in-house team overall.

Reduced Security Risk


IT consultants can identify and resolve security threats in your network and systems. They work with your team to establish processes and protocols to ensure better ongoing protection.

Increased Productivity

In-house IT teams, especially in smaller companies, are often overwhelmed with multiple projects and conflicting priorities. Engaging an IT consultant to complete specific projects can free up your team to focus on core business functions and priorities.

Improved Processes

IT consultants deliver more than just technical expertise. They also use proven, repeatable processes that they pass on to your team through documented IT playbooks and technology training.

An Objective View

Armed with experience and a toolkit of best practices, IT consultants bring a fresh perspective to your technology environment. They identify issues you may have overlooked and make recommendations about improving or replacing legacy technology systems and practices.

Why Hire IT Consultants for Your Business?

Tell us if we’re correct. First, IT is not your core competency, is it? IT is simply a means to an end. The value you offer the marketplace lies in other areas. Second, you can’t possibly keep pace with today’s rapidly changing technology landscape, can you? We’re talking artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and more.

This is why you should hire IT consultants like Ntiva. We manage your ever-changing IT challenges so that you can manage your business. Here’s how.

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation spending will grow to more than 53% of all technology investment by 2023.

Cloud

New investments in cloud initiatives will outpace all other enterprise IT spending through 2022.

Big Data

83% of enterprise executives believe that big data projects will enable them to improve their competitive position.

Mobile

Around 52% of global web traffic comes from mobile phones

Artificial Intelligence

By 2021, 80% of emerging technologies will be built on a foundation of artificial intelligence.

Cyber Security

Roughly 68% of business leaders say their cybersecurity risks are increasing.

What Are IT Consulting Services?

IT consultants provide strategic advice. Their primary goal is helping your organization use technology and IT resources to reach your strategic business goals. IT consultants solve IT problems. Common IT consulting services include:

  • IT strategy and planning
  • IT assessments
  • Security risk assessments
  • Governance, risk, and compliance
  • Cloud and data migration planning
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
  • IT budgeting

What Is the Difference Between IT Consulting and IT Services?

The main difference between IT consulting and IT services is the difference between strategy and implementation. An IT consultant tells you what to do, and why, perhaps even how. But an IT services firm implements that strategy. An IT consultant hands you a plan. An IT services company carries out that plan. An IT consultant tells you to migrate to the cloud. An IT services firm carries out that migration.
