Specialist Services
Professional IT Services
Expertise for a specific problem, without a long-term contract.
Not every requirement needs a managed service
Sometimes the need is bounded: a second opinion on an architecture, help preparing for an audit, a specialist to deliver one difficult project, or capacity to cover a vacancy.
Professional services engagements are scoped, priced and delivered as discrete pieces of work, with a defined outcome and an end.
Scope
Typical engagements
Architecture and design reviews, technology selection and vendor evaluation, security and infrastructure assessments, migration planning, documentation projects, audit preparation, and interim technical capacity.
Advisory and design
Independent review of a proposed design, including designs prepared by others.
Assessment work
Focused reviews of security, infrastructure, resilience or licensing.
Project delivery
A defined project delivered to a schedule and a specification.
Documentation
Environments written up properly, which is often the highest-value thing a business can commission.
Audit and questionnaire preparation
Technical evidence assembled and explained ahead of scrutiny.
Interim capacity
Specialist cover during a vacancy, a peak or a leave of absence.
