IT CONSULTING

IT consulting for companies: a clear IT plan with priorities and costs

We look at network, servers, backups, email and business software with the eyes of people who then have to keep them running. You get a document with what to fix, in what order and at what cost, with no obligation to hire us for the work.

IN SHORT

In short

IT consulting is about deciding: what to keep, what to change and in what order. URETECH reviews an SME’s infrastructure, security, Microsoft 365 and business software and delivers a written plan with priorities, risks, timing and indicative costs.

IT support for companies comes afterwards and keeps systems running over time. You can ask us for one, the other or both.

DIFFERENCES

IT consulting or IT support: what is the difference

ItemIT consultingIT support
PurposeDecide what to do and in what orderKeep everything working every day
DurationA project with a start and an endAn ongoing contract
What you getA document with priorities, risks and costsHelpdesk, maintenance, updates
When to askBefore investing, changing or growingWhen you want someone to take care of it

Many companies ask us for support when what they need first is consulting: without knowing what is there and what is worth changing, a support contract can end up propping up systems that should be replaced.

When you need IT consulting

The moments when an outside view saves money.

Server at end of life

The server is over five years old, the disks are noisy and nobody knows what runs on it.

A customer asks about NIS2

A supplier security questionnaire arrives and you do not know what to answer.

Changing ERP

The ERP is no longer enough and every vendor pushes their own product.

The expert leaves

The colleague or technician who knew everything leaves, and the passwords go with them.

THREE-MINUTE SELF-CHECK

Is your IT holding up? Eight questions to find out

These are the questions we ask in the first consulting meeting. Answer honestly: the ring shows how well you are doing and below you see where to start.

InventoryBackupAccessServersMicrosoft 365Business softwareSecurityOwnership
0/8points in order

Answer the first question to light up the ring.

  1. List of PCs, servers and licences Is there an up-to-date list of computers, servers, software and licences, with expiry dates?
  2. Tested backup In the last six months, has anyone actually restored a file or a server from backup?
  3. Access and passwords Do email, ERP and cloud logins use two-factor authentication, and is access removed when people leave?
  4. Servers and network Is the server or NAS less than five years old, still updated and behind a managed firewall?
  5. Email and Microsoft 365 Do you know who administers Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with which licences and which data copies?
  6. ERP and software Do your ERP, CRM and website exchange data without manual retyping?
  7. Customers asking about security If a customer sends you a security or NIS2 questionnaire, could you answer with documents?
  8. Who decides on IT Is there one person, internal or external, who knows every system and has a plan for the next two years?

Look at these first

  1. List of PCs, servers and licences. This is where it starts: without an inventory you cannot estimate risks or costs. We build it in the first phase of the work.
  2. Tested backup. An untested backup is a hope. You need an off-site copy, one protected from ransomware and a scheduled restore test.
  3. Access and passwords. Two-factor on email and admin accounts, a password manager and a leaver procedure.
  4. Servers and network. Old hardware and unsupported software are the first cause of downtime. We assess whether to replace, virtualise or move to the cloud.
  5. Email and Microsoft 365. A named administrator, the right licences per role and a separate backup of mail and files.
  6. ERP and software. Every piece of data typed twice is a mistake waiting to happen. We assess integrations or a better-suited ERP.
  7. Customers asking about security. Basic measures written down and provable: inventory, backup, access, updates and an incident plan.
  8. Who decides on IT. That is exactly what the final consulting document is for: priorities, costs and timing, to follow with whoever you prefer.

Indicative self-check. In the consulting work the same points are checked on your systems, with a final document of priorities and costs.

THE REPORT

What you get at the end

A written document, in English or Italian, usually 15 to 30 pages, with:

  • Inventory of workstations, servers, network, licences and software, with expiry dates.
  • Risks ranked by severity: what could stop the business, lose data or cause trouble with customers and regulations.
  • Priorities in three bands: now, within six months, within two years.
  • Indicative costs for each action, split between hardware, licences and labour.
  • Alternatives where they exist: buy or lease, on site or cloud, off-the-shelf or custom.

An example of priorities

A typical page of the report, with made-up data for a 25-workstation SME:

ActionRisk if not doneWhenIndicative cost

We present it in a meeting and answer questions. You can carry out the work with us, with your current provider or with your own staff: the document is yours.

Working in English with your head office

For Italian branches of foreign groups we write the report in English, align it with the group’s IT policies and join calls with head office in EU time zones. Under Legislative Decree 138/2024 many companies fall within NIS2 and ask suppliers how they protect data and systems: the report gives you answers with evidence. For the hands-on part see cybersecurity and NIS2.

WHERE AND HOW MUCH

IT consulting in Bologna, Milan and Rome

We work with companies in Bologna, Milan, Rome and the rest of Italy. Data collection and most checks are done remotely; we arrange a site visit when we need to see the network and server rooms. In the Bologna area we also provide on-site IT support in Bologna.

The cost depends on the number of sites, workstations and systems to review: the fixed-price quote comes after the first meeting. We reply to every request within 24 working hours.

IT consulting FAQ

They review a company’s systems, risks and IT costs and propose a plan with priorities. They do not replace day-to-day support: they give it direction.
It depends on sites, workstations and systems. After the free first meeting we send a fixed-price quote, before we start.
For an SME usually two to four weeks, from the first meeting to the delivery of the report.
No. The report is yours and you can carry it out with whoever you prefer. If you wish, we can take it on through support or individual projects.
Yes, on the technical side: security measures, backup, access and documents to show customers. For legal aspects we work with your adviser.
Mostly remotely, with read-only access. We visit when we need to see the network and server rooms.
This review covers all of IT. If the topic is only the ERP there is ERP selection consulting; if it is artificial intelligence, AI consulting.
