Who Is Suited To An IT Audit?
Inefficient IT systems are one of the most frustrating problems encountered in the workplace. Reviews can often identify where minor adjustments could prevent the need for substantial expenditure. From experience, we have found that audits provide the most value to a business when they are: • Looking for a ‘whole of business’ approach from their IT partner • Seeking a fresh approach to help them use technology more effectively • Making strategic changes such as moving to the cloud • Looking to identify areas of risk to ensure business continuity • Planning budget expenditure for future projects • Not happy with their current IT provider or technology situation
