  2. 2What is changing in your business this year, and what is coming up for renewal.

Once a quarter

A short meeting, in plain words, that ends with a budget.

Every Concierge IT client has a Concierge Lead who knows the business, not just the systems. Once a quarter they sit down with you: what is changing in your business this year, what is coming up for renewal, what is getting old, what you are spending, and what you should stop spending. You leave with a plain plan and a budget you can defend.

Bring your IT person if you have one, your office manager, your controller, or anyone who signs for technology. The person across the table is the one who knows your business and looks after you day to day, not a salesperson, and sometimes the answer is that what you have is working fine and we would not spend the money. We say so, and it is written in the report.

The year in quarters

Four conversations a year, and nothing that comes due by surprise.

First quarterA sit-down with your Concierge Lead
Second quarterA sit-down, and the renewals raised early
Third quarterA sit-down, and the roadmap for next year
Fourth quarterA sit-down, and next year's budget

What is changing

In your business this year, and what that will ask of your technology.

What is coming up for renewal

Software, equipment, internet, and your Microsoft agreement, tracked and raised before they come due.

What is getting old

What to replace this year and what can wait. No surprises in month nine.

What you are spending

And what you should stop spending. Sometimes the answer is that what you have is working fine, and we say so.

Every meeting asks the same four questions, and whenever something changes in your business, the meeting does not wait for the calendar. A project that comes out of the plan is quoted before the work starts, never after.

What you leave with.

  • A plain report of where you stand. Where you are exposed, where you are already fine, and what we would do first. Written for an owner, not for an engineer.
  • A roadmap and a budget. What to replace this year and what can wait. No surprises in month nine.
  • Renewals handled. Software, equipment, internet, and your Microsoft agreement, tracked and raised before they come due.
  • Honest answers. Sometimes the answer is that what you have is working fine and we would not spend the money. We will say so.

Who you will know by name

The person across the table knows your business, not just the systems.

Do you have the keys to your own IT? Or does someone else?

Questions people ask

Plain answers.

Is IT planning an extra fee?

No. Planning and strategy are part of Complete, the Concierge IT plan. There is no hourly rate and no report you pay for. If a plan turns into a project, the project is quoted before the work starts.

How often do we meet about technology?

Once a quarter with your Concierge Lead, and whenever something changes in your business. The quarterly meeting is short, in plain words, and ends with a budget you can defend.

Will you tell us to spend money we do not need to spend?

No. Sometimes the answer is that what you have is working fine. Protected Trust says so, and it is written in the report.

Can we buy the planning on its own?

No. Planning comes with the plan, because the person across the table has to know your setup. From time to time we take on a specialized Microsoft 365 project on its own, such as Teams or Intune, quoted before the work starts.

Who sits in the planning meeting?

The same person who knows your business and looks after you day to day, not a salesperson. Bring your IT person if you have one, your office manager, your controller, or anyone who signs for technology.

What does a virtual CIO do here?

The same person who knows your business sits down with you once a quarter: what is changing this year, what is coming up for renewal, what is getting old, and what to stop spending on. You leave with a plain plan and a budget you can defend. That is the whole of the IT consulting services, and it is in the plan.

What do IT consulting services cost?

Nothing beyond the plan. Concierge IT for Business is $125 per person, per month, and the planning is part of it. A project that comes out of a plan is quoted before the work starts.

Thirty minutes with a real person.

Tell us what is changing in your business this year. We will tell you honestly what we would do first.
