IT Purchasing/IT environment assessment

Know what you own before you spend another dollar

A structured review of security, infrastructure, backup, cloud or Microsoft 365 — written up as findings with owners, priorities and what it would cost to fix.

Thirty minutes is usually enough to tell you whether this is the right place to begin.

The problem

Most IT decisions are made against a picture that is out of date

Environments drift. Documentation describes what was intended, not what runs. Two products overlap, a backup job has been failing silently, and a firewall subscription lapsed during a staff change.

An assessment gives you a current picture: what is deployed, what is covered, what is exposed and what is redundant. Whether you buy anything from us afterwards is a separate question.

When companies call us
You are taking over an environment somebody else built
A purchase is proposed and nobody can say whether it duplicates something
An audit, insurance renewal or client review is coming
Costs are rising and the reason is not visible from the invoices
What's covered

Network and device security

Corporate firewall, workspace application protection, VPN and endpoint protection reviewed against current configuration.

IT infrastructure

Network attached storage, virtualisation hosts and supporting infrastructure assessed for capacity, support status and risk.

Data protection and backup

Backup coverage, retention and restore testing across endpoints, servers and cloud workloads.

Cloud infrastructure and migration

Current cloud footprint, access control and the realistic path for anything still on-premise.

Microsoft 365 and related products

Tenant configuration, licensing fit, identity settings and the workplace applications your staff actually use.

How we deliver
01

Evaluation scope

A 30-minute call to agree what is in scope: which systems, which sites, and what you already suspect. Read-only access arranged before anything starts.

02

Environment deep-dive

We work through the areas agreed, against what is actually deployed rather than what the documentation claims. Gaps, overlaps and silent failures surface here.

03

Findings and priorities

Findings written up with owners, priorities and what it would cost to put right. Yours to act on with your own team, or with us.
