Auditing
IT Solutions
Many IT companies offer a free IT audit as an incentive to sign up for a long-term service contract, or as an in-road to offer additional products and services.
​
On the surface the proposition of a free IT audit is an attractive one, but the service is often misleading because many free IT audits are conducted by an engineer that doesn’t have the time, or the knowledge that is required to complete a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your IT infrastructure.

The Process
The Human Element
A professional IT consultant will interview your internal management team and other staff members that have an ongoing involvement in IT operations at every level. We’ll use this time to gain an understanding of people’s responsibilities and highlight any ongoing issues and concerns that the staff have about the existing IT landscape.
The Automated Assesment
We use a selection of highly complex auditing tools and applications to conduct an automated discovery process that will detect, record and assess every element of your IT landscape.
This includes 3rd party software licences, hardware (including mobile devices), Email, connectivity, network security and even warranties. Our software will also conduct a system health check on your servers and workstations.
The Manual Assesment
A professional IT consultant will also conduct a manual examination of other elements of your IT landscape, including remote connectivity, data, data integrity, information management, policies and processes.
Final Report
Once the audit is completed, we will provide you with a detailed report which incorporates a fully comprehensive breakdown of your entire IT network infrastructure.
This report should be treated as your strategic IT plan that has been put in place to ensure that your IT infrastructure is running efficiently and is aligned to meet your business challenges and goals, within a budget that is realistic to your business.
Every point that has been covered in the audit will be carefully explained to you in a final meeting.
