Clarity and Direction for Complex IT Decisions

At That’s IT, our IT Advisory services help organisations make better, more informed decisions about their technology.

IT Advisory is designed for businesses that need clarity, structure, and control over their IT environment — whether they are assessing current systems, planning next steps, or improving how IT is governed and operated.

This service area focuses on analysis, guidance, and alignment, not day-to-day support or project delivery.

What We Mean by IT Advisory

IT Advisory at That’s IT provides structured guidance across the full lifecycle of business IT — from understanding the current state to planning, governing, and strengthening operations.

Our advisory work helps organisations:

  • Understand where they stand today

  • Identify risks, gaps, and inefficiencies

  • Make informed technology decisions

  • Align IT with business priorities

IT Advisory can be engaged independently or alongside our IT Support and IT Digital services.

Advisory Services We Provide

Our IT Advisory services are organised into four key areas.

IT Assessment

A structured review of your current IT environment to understand:

  • systems and infrastructure in use

  • operational risks and weaknesses

  • gaps in support, security, or performance

IT Assessments provide a clear baseline for decision-making — without committing you to unnecessary changes.

IT Strategy & Planning

Guidance to help organisations plan how technology should support business goals. This includes:

  • defining future IT priorities

  • evaluating options and trade-offs

  • sequencing improvements realistically

The focus is on practical planning, not theoretical roadmaps.

IT Governance & Operations Management

Support for organisations that need clearer control over how IT is managed. This may include:

  • defining roles and responsibilities

  • improving processes and oversight

  • strengthening vendor and service management

The goal is better accountability, consistency, and decision-making around IT operations.

Business Continuity & Operational Excellence

Advisory support focused on resilience and reliability. This includes:

  • identifying operational risks

  • strengthening continuity and recovery planning

  • improving reliability of critical systems

This helps ensure technology failures don’t become business-critical disruptions.

Who IT Advisory Is Designed For

A Partnership Built on Certainty, Support and Local Presence.

Our IT Advisory services are suited for organisations that:

  • are unsure if their current IT setup is fit for purpose

  • are planning changes but want independent guidance

  • need stronger governance or operational control

  • want to reduce risk and improve reliability

IT Advisory is especially valuable when:

  • internal IT resources are stretched

  • decisions have long-term implications

  • accountability needs to be clarified

How IT Advisory Fits Within Our Services

IT Advisory complements our other service areas without replacing them.

Depending on your needs, advisory work may:

  • Inform IT Support structure and responsibilities

  • Guide IT Digital delivery decisions

  • Support better use of internal teams or partners

Advisory engagements are defined, scoped, and outcome-focused, ensuring clarity without unnecessary commitment.

Starting with IT Advisory

IT Advisory engagements typically begin with a focused discussion to understand your context and determine the right advisory approach.
