What does IT consultancy cover?

If you’re an SME based in the East Midlands, you could benefit from investing in IT consultancy, a service we offer at Aurora Technologies. It helps to build a picture of your organisation, its technology and strategy – then finds solutions that streamline the way you work and reduce your costs, all while ensuring you meet your business goals. 

Whatever area of your business you want to focus on, IT consultancy works across four main stages:

1. Feasibility and scoping
2. Research, audits and testing 
3. Policy review and training
4. Technology/licensing roll-out, upgrades or maintenance 

Today, we’ll show three places where our IT consultancy can future-proof your business: security, productivity and connectivity.  

Security

Cyber security is absolutely crucial to businesses of any size and scope. Across prevention, maintenance and remediation, IT consultancy can improve your security posture to deter bad actors, identify vulnerabilities and address them if the worst happens. Our services cover:

• Risk assessments to spot weaknesses in your security 
• Training and best practice scenarios to upskill your teams
• Disaster recovery planning and redress for cyber attacks

Productivity

Our employees are the cogs that keep the wheels turning. And the more motivated and supported they are, the better your business will run. Whether it’s ways for people to work remotely and flexibly, online solutions that replace bulky servers or the ability to oversee employees’ devices, our productivity-based IT solutions can empower your workforce. Our services include:

• Licensing, such as Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard and Premium 
• Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, for hosting cloud-based apps and services 
• Microsoft Intune endpoint management for overseeing devices and access
• Microsoft Copilot for AI support across MS365
• Virtual private networks for secure, remote working 

Connectivity

Fast and reliable connectivity is the antidote to issues like lag, WiFi blind spots, slow speeds and dropped calls. And with the right infrastructure in place, you can even support remote working across your company. Our services comprise:

• VoIP, so calls can be made over the internet instead of a phone line
• SIP, to manage IM, video calls and conferencing, and sharing of media
• Wireless and wired infrastructure (like installing access points in a building)
• Licensing, to bring services together in an easy, affordable package
