Consult · IT consulting
IT advice that ends in decisions, not slide decks.
We review your systems and tell you plainly what to fix first. We help you plan and choose software, equipment and suppliers, track down problems that keep coming back, and support your team day to day. The advice comes from engineers who also build and run the systems they recommend.
The problem
Does this sound familiar?
-
Decisions about software and servers are made without anyone weighing up the options.
-
The same IT problems keep coming back, patched but never solved.
-
Equipment and licences are bought without a plan for how they fit together.

Solid foundations. A review would focus on what comes next, not on fixing what's there.
A few gaps worth closing. Each one is usually a small, cheap fix, and much cheaper before something breaks.
Worth a conversation soon. Not a reason to panic: a short review would show which gaps matter most for your business.

- From advice to building it If the answer is new software, the team that planned it can build it. Learn more

FAQ
Questions about it consulting
Straight answers. Anything else, ask us directly.
Is IT consulting only for big projects?
No. Many engagements take just a few days: a review, a written recommendation or help choosing between two suppliers.
Do you sell hardware and software licences?
We can supply equipment and licences when that is the sensible route. But we are not tied to any manufacturer, and our advice does not depend on what you buy from us.
Do you offer IT support for staff?
Yes. We provide IT support for your staff, with how quickly we respond agreed in the contract rather than promised on a web page.
What does an IT consultant do for a small business?
An IT consultant looks at your systems, risks and costs, recommends what to change and in which order, helps you choose suppliers and checks their work. It can be a one-off review, or ongoing advice alongside your projects.
What is an IT audit, and what do we get from it?
It is a check of your whole IT set-up: a list of your hardware, software, licences and accounts; a look at security (two-step login, updates, backups), the network and any single part whose failure would stop everything; and what all of it costs. You get a list of risks in order of priority and a plan for what to do next.
What cybersecurity basics should every small business have?
Two-step login everywhere, updates on a schedule, backups kept offline or impossible to alter, each person with only the access they need, a password manager, encrypted laptops, staff who can spot fake emails (phishing), and a one-page plan for what to do if something goes wrong.
Does NIS2 apply to my business?
It depends on your sector and the size of your business. Portugal has brought the EU's NIS2 directive into national law. It covers organisations classed as "essential" or "important", and those in scope register with the National Cybersecurity Centre (CNCS), manage their risks and report incidents. Their suppliers often receive security requirements through contracts, too. A lawyer confirms whether you are in scope; we put the technical measures in place.
