Why Use a Consultant?

Get It Right the First Time

Expert Guidance When You Need It

You don't need a full-time IT strategist. You need someone who can help when big decisions come up.

Avoid Expensive Mistakes

The wrong software, the wrong vendor, the wrong approach. These mistakes cost tens of thousands. A few hours of consulting can save you from years of regret.

No Hidden Agenda

We don't sell hardware or software. We recommend what's best for you, not what earns us the biggest commission.

Consulting process

Consulting FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IT consulting.

How is consulting different from IT support?

IT support fixes things when they break. IT consulting helps you make strategic decisions before you commit. Think of it as the difference between a mechanic and someone who helps you decide what car to buy.

How much does consulting cost?

We charge by the hour or by the project, depending on what makes sense. We'll give you a clear quote before we start. For many decisions, a few hours of consulting saves thousands in avoided mistakes.

What's a Virtual IT Director (vCIO)?

It's strategic IT leadership for businesses that don't need (or can't afford) a full-time IT executive. We attend your planning meetings, help set IT strategy, manage vendors, and advise on technology decisions.

Do you implement what you recommend?

We can, or we can hand off to your existing IT provider with clear specifications. Whatever works best for your situation.

What if I already have an IT provider?

That's fine. We work alongside existing providers all the time. Sometimes you just need an independent perspective or specific expertise they don't have.

How long does a typical engagement last?

It depends on what you need. A second opinion might take a few hours. A major system selection might take a few weeks. Virtual CIO relationships are ongoing. We scope it properly before we start.

Can you help with a project that's already gone wrong?

Yes. We've rescued plenty of troubled IT projects. We'll assess what went wrong, what can be salvaged, and how to get things back on track.

Do you work with businesses outside Coffs Harbour?

Yes. While we're based in Coffs Harbour, consulting work can often be done remotely. We work with businesses across regional NSW and beyond.
