What it is
What IT Consulting solves
Who it is for
Owners and managers who need a clear, independent view of their technology before spending more on it.
Technology decisions are often made under sales pressure, one tool at a time, until nobody can see the whole picture or who owns what.
How it works
How I deliver IT Consulting
I review what you have, what it costs and who owns it, then recommend a prioritised roadmap with plain-language trade-offs.
Common foundations such as domains, DNS, business email, multi-factor authentication and access reviews are put in order first.

FAQ
IT Consulting: common questions
Have a different question? Ask it directly.
Do you sell any of the products you recommend?
No. Recommendations are based on your requirements, and any commercial relationship would be disclosed.
Can you fix our email going to spam?
Often. SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, sending practices and domain reputation are reviewed and corrected.
Can you help choose a phone system?
Yes. That is a core specialism; see Enterprise VoIP Solutions.
Is this a one-off review or ongoing?
Either. Most start with a review, and ongoing advisory support can be agreed afterwards.
