STRATEGY, BUDGET AND GROWTH
Your business has goals and a growth trajectory. You need an IT strategy to support them – secure, future-proof and aligned with your overall budget. With that in mind, our consulting team will collaborate with you on a deep dive into your internal processes; learning and understanding your goals, and putting together an IT strategy that facilitates them while saving you money.
Here’s what they’ll get into:
- Defining a tech cost per person in your organisation

- Ensuring your IT costs don’t negatively impact your growth
Here’s the model we utilise in our consulting process.
SMILE IT CONSULTING SERVICES MODEL
1.0 Business Capability Model
Our IT consulting process begins with our Business Capability Model. This is a discovery process where we learn about your business, what makes it tick, and where we can improve your use of technology.
We want to know what your business does, what tools you use, and how you engage with your key stakeholders. By the end of the consultation, we’ll have a solid understanding of what your IT picture looks like. We’ll be able to see if you’re spending too much or too little on IT in comparison to industry norms. Any overlaps in platform functionality will be identified, helping us streamline your tech stack for greater efficiency and productivity.
All of the above is presented in a comprehensive report, as well as recommendations and costs for key actions tailored to your business.
2.0 IT Strategic Plan Process
We perform a deep analysis of your business strategy, figuring out the role technology plays in it and how we can improve on it. By engaging with internal stakeholders we will identify gaps and opportunities, implementing value-optimising solutions that improve workflow and output. We’ll look at current and upcoming projects, ensuring your enterprise architecture can support them.
3.0 Cybersecurity Services
Strong cybersecurity is essential for a successful, compliant, and well-managed organisation. We’ll start off with a cybersecurity assessment to see where you stand in comparison to various industry standards for cybersecurity. From the assessment, we will make recommendations on improving your cybersecurity posture to ensure it aligns with industry and legal standards. Moving forward, we can provide proactive, 24/7 monitoring to keep you as safe as possible.
4.0 Budgeting
Aligning your IT budget with your business goals primes your company for success. Smile IT will help you figure out where you’re spending money you don’t need to, and where you can allocate more funds for better results. Predictable and easy-to-manage IT expenditures will help streamline your growth trajectory.
