Technology Guidance That Makes Sense for Your Business

You don't need someone who speaks in acronyms and pushes expensive solutions. You need a technology partner who understands your business and helps you make smart decisions.

More Than Just Tech Support

Most IT companies fix what's broken. That's important, but it's reactive. What happens when you need to make a major technology decision? When you're planning for growth? When a vendor is pushing a big purchase?

You need someone on your side who understands both technology and business. Someone who can help you see three years down the road and make investments that will actually pay off. Someone who can translate tech-speak into plain English and help you make informed decisions.

That's what our consulting services provide. Strategic guidance from experienced professionals who have been helping Durham Region businesses navigate technology decisions for over 25 years.

How We Help

Technology Assessments

We evaluate your current setup—what's working, what's not, what's at risk. You get a clear picture of where you stand and what needs attention, prioritized by impact and urgency.

Strategic Planning

Technology should support your business goals. We help you create a roadmap that aligns IT investments with where your business is headed—whether that's growth, efficiency, or expansion.

Budget Planning

No surprise expenses. We help you forecast technology costs, plan for replacements before they're emergencies, and allocate budget where it will have the most impact.

Vendor Evaluation

Software vendors make a lot of promises. We help you cut through the sales pitch, evaluate whether solutions actually fit your needs, and negotiate from an informed position.

Compliance Guidance

Need to meet industry regulations? PIPEDA requirements? Cyber insurance requirements? We help you understand what's required and implement appropriate controls.

Project Management

Big technology projects can derail without proper oversight. We manage implementations, coordinate vendors, and make sure projects deliver what they promised.

Common Questions About IT Consulting

Is consulting included with IT support services?

Yes. Our Total Network Care clients get strategic guidance as part of their package—including quarterly business reviews and ongoing advisory. For businesses that just need consulting without support, we offer that separately too.

We're a small business. Do we really need IT consulting?

Small businesses often benefit most from good IT guidance because mistakes are more costly when you don't have a big budget. Even occasional strategic advice can save you from expensive wrong turns.

Will you try to sell us expensive solutions?

No. Our job is to give you honest advice, not push products. We recommend what actually makes sense for your situation and budget. Sometimes that means recommending against a purchase—even if it would benefit us.

How is this different from what vendors offer?

Vendors want to sell you their products. We work for you. We evaluate options objectively, including solutions we don't sell ourselves. Our loyalty is to your best interests, not to any particular vendor.
