On the other hand, targeted IT evaluations delve into certain operations inside your IT system.

These tailored, domain-specific assessments are frequently referred to as targeted IT interventions, and our experts excel at providing them in all kinds of areas.
Whatever type of IT assessment you ask our IT consultancy to undertake on your behalf, there are usually certain common elements we will consider and evaluate as a part of them:

IT Consultancy Assessment Services vs. Do-It-Yourself IT Assessments
If you choose a dependable, industry-standard set of questions and your expectations aren’t too high, you can complete a very basic self-assessment of your IT. However, hiring a third-party IT specialist in your market specialization to undertake the information technology evaluation is usually a better idea.
Obviously, as we are an IT consultancy providing IT assessments, you’d expect us to say that. But there are very valid reasons why hiring an IT consultancy like Pearl Lemon Consultants to access your business’ IT situation really does make sense:
Expertise
You know how to use the various elements of your IT structure, but do you really KNOW them? And how much do you know about the alternatives out there that may be far more efficient/cost-effective/user-friendly?
Chances are that the answer is not a lot. We do know all of this stuff and more, inside out and will apply all that knowledge throughout our IT consultancy evaluation.
Time
Then there is the time factor. A comprehensive IT assessment takes time, and lots of it, which is something you probably don’t have. Most DIY IT assessments are rushed affairs executed in response to a threat, or a budget issue, and they don’t do what they should: provide a full picture of your current IT situation and how it can be improved.
Money
IT moves fast, and as more competitors emerge, prices go down. As an IT consultancy, we often find that our clients are paying way too much for IT elements simply because they didn’t know about the alternatives that might exist. Our IT consultancy assessments will help you find those savings.
Lack of Bias
An unbiased expert should be able to ask the relevant questions and approach the evaluation without any biases or preconceptions regarding your current apps, strategy, team members, or workflows.
We often find that business stakeholders have held onto outdated or inefficient IT components simply because they ‘like them’ or they cost a lot of money. These biases can – and usually will – colour any internal IT assessment you try to make, making it inefficient from the start.
A respected third party may be more approachable to your staff than management or company leadership when it comes to opening up about your organization’s technological capabilities, in addition to maintaining the integrity of the evaluation and keeping the results untainted.
When potential backlash, ramifications, and existing relational dynamics are removed from the picture, your IT staff is more likely to provide helpful input. In other words, individuals might feel more at ease airing their concerns to us as an objective third party rather than bosses they fear they’ll be upsetting if they speak up.
