IT Consulting for SMEs
You make IT decisions anyway. The only choice is whether to make them with someone serving your interests, or with someone who has to sell you something.

The problem
The problem
Most SMEs have no IT manager: technical decisions are made by the owner, in a hurry, based on what the last vendor through the door said. And every vendor recommends — surprise — what they sell.
So contracts pile up that nobody understands, systems that do not talk, renewals paid out of inertia, and security risks nobody notices while everything is fine. Not out of incompetence: because nobody translates technology into business choices.
We act as an independent technical advisor: we read quotes before you sign them, check baseline security, line up priorities and document every decision. We do not resell hardware, licences or third-party contracts: our only interest is yours.
The benefits
What you gain, concretely.
- V/01
Real independence
We do not resell hardware, software or connectivity: no commissions behind the advice. When we say "don't buy it", we lose nothing.
- V/02
Plain language, zero acronyms
Every technical issue is translated into costs, risks and benefits. Deciding without understanding is not delegating: it is hoping.
- V/03
Other people’s quotes, read for you
Before you sign IT contracts, we read them: what is really included, what is missing, what is overpriced. This line alone often pays for the consulting.
- V/04
Baseline security under control
Verified backups, access, updates, passwords: the fundamentals that prevent most real disasters — checked periodically, not "fixed once".
- V/05
Documented technical memory
Credentials, contracts, configurations and decisions in a documented picture that stays with the company. Knowledge stops living only in someone’s head.
- V/06
A bridge to whoever executes
When work is needed, we write the brief and check the vendors’ delivery. You sign knowing what you are buying.
How we work
Our working method, step by step.
-
Snapshot of the present
Inventory of systems, contracts, access and vendors: what exists, what it costs, what state it is in. The basis of every serious decision.
-
Priorities and risks
Interventions ranked by risk and benefit: first what protects operations, then what saves money, then the rest.
-
Action plan
A written plan with timing, estimated costs and responsibilities: the document that turns "we should" into a calendar.
-
Decision support
Vendor evaluation, quote reading, purchasing choices: we are there when decisions are made — which is when mistakes are made.
-
Periodic review
Regular checks on security, backups and expiring contracts. IT is not fixed once: it is kept in order.
FAQ
The questions we hear most often.
Both: you can start with a one-off snapshot and action plan — useful even just to know where you stand — or activate ongoing support with periodic reviews. Many start with the first and continue with the second.
No, and normally that is not the goal: the supplier who executes is needed; we are the layer that decides and verifies. If they work well, having a technical counterpart will suit them; if they work badly, you will find out with concrete elements.
From the micro-business with five workstations to the structured SME without internal IT: the point is not size but the absence of an independent technical reference. If IT quotes are evaluated by the person who receives them, the service makes sense.
The fundamentals that stop real problems: existing and verified backups, access and passwords, updates, internet exposure, basic staff awareness. We do not sell fear: we line up the real risks with priorities and costs.
The initial snapshot has a fixed price agreed in advance; ongoing support is a fee proportional to size and complexity. In both cases the scope is written down: you know what is included and what is not.
Yes, practical and short: recognising suspicious emails, managing passwords, using the tools you already have properly. One well-made hour of training prevents more damage than a lot of hardware.
