Are you using managed IT services? Are you using M&H Consultants? Even better! There are so many services that your IT consultant can provide that you might not even know them all, which is why we want to share some more details with you. After all, you don’t want to pay for a full service that’s only being partly used!

What is the job role of an IT consultant?

An information technology consultant is there to make your business’s processes run smoother by sharing their technical expertise. Together, you will work to reach your business goals and enhance the services you offer.

Your consulting firm is there to implement technological solutions, new technologies, and make sure your systems are working as they should be, while also ensuring things like disaster recovery plans are in place.

Here are just some examples of the consulting services your consultant is there to provide…

Emergencies

Whether you need help with your hardware, software, or network, your IT consultant will come to fix any issues that you are having on-site.

Preventative maintenance

However, your IT consultant is not there to just fix problems, they are also there to prevent these situations from occurring in the first place by providing regular computer services.

Actions can be made to secure your services, increase longevity, back up work, and protect your business from viruses. Ask us about our “Tech for a Day” service.

Networking

If you’re looking to move your company or expand, your consultant can establish a means for you and your employees to work remotely. During this process, they can upload/download data to other computers and make information available via cloud services.

Instant evaluations

From time to time it’s good to have your IT consultant come in to assess your technical environment, from your network and office systems to your web tools, intranet, and workflow. It then helps them to plan for updates and prevent future problems which, in turn, gives you a more efficient service.

Software development

Depending on your business requirements, software developments can be different for everyone. Maybe it’s creating an easier web interface or streamlining vendor communications. Whatever it is, your IT consultant will aid your business in running a smoother operation.

Purchases

You don’t want to spend unnecessary money on technology that you don’t need. In addition to servicing your systems, your consultant can also advise you on hardware and software before you purchase them as well as recommend ones that you could benefit from.
