Service Pricing Overview

Understanding the typical investment ranges for our core IT consulting and audit services helps you plan your technology budget effectively.

Infrastructure Assessment

Comprehensive evaluations of your technology infrastructure typically span two to four weeks depending on environment complexity. Our assessments include detailed documentation, analysis of current state, identification of improvement opportunities, and prioritized recommendations. Investment varies based on the number of systems, locations, and depth of analysis required.

Security Audit

Security audits involve thorough examination of your systems, networks, and processes to identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. Engagements include penetration testing, policy review, access control assessment, and comprehensive reporting. Scope determines final investment, with considerations for system complexity and organizational size.

Cloud Consulting

Cloud strategy and migration projects vary widely based on current infrastructure, target cloud platform, and workload complexity. We provide roadmap development, cost analysis, architecture design, and migration support.

Compliance Services

Compliance reviews ensure your organization meets regulatory requirements. Services include gap analysis, documentation review, control testing, and remediation planning tailored to applicable frameworks.

Advisory Services

Ongoing advisory engagements provide access to expert guidance for technology decisions, strategic planning, and problem resolution. Flexible arrangements accommodate your evolving needs.

Factors Affecting Project Costs

Several factors influence the final investment required for IT consulting and audit engagements.

Scope and Complexity

The breadth and depth of the engagement significantly impact costs. Larger environments with more systems, applications, and users require additional time and resources. Complex technical architectures or unique configurations may necessitate specialized expertise.

Timeline Requirements

Accelerated timelines may require additional consultant resources to meet deadlines. Standard project durations typically offer the most cost-effective approach, while expedited engagements accommodate urgent business needs at premium rates.

Location and Travel

Projects requiring on-site presence include travel expenses. Remote engagements eliminate these costs while still delivering high-quality results. We work with clients to determine the optimal balance of on-site and remote work.

Ongoing Support

Post-project support and implementation assistance can be included in the initial engagement or arranged separately. Long-term retainer arrangements often provide better value for organizations needing continuous access to consulting resources.
