IT for consulting, advisory and professional services firms
Professional services firms depend on billable teams, secure client workspaces and reliable collaboration. We run IT for Australian consulting, advisory and professional services firms where billable utilisation depends on technology staying reliable, secure and unobtrusive.
What we hear from professional services leaders
- Client confidentiality across engagements that overlap, conflict or compete
- Consultants working from client sites, hotels, home and the office, all in one week
- Video meetings and document collaboration that absolutely have to work
- Knowledge management so the firm doesn't lose IP every time a senior leaves
- Information security questionnaires from corporate clients getting more demanding
- Billable-hour culture where every minute of IT downtime is felt directly
How we look after professional services firms
Mobile-first device fleet
Lightweight, managed laptops with conditional access. Productive from anywhere, locked down everywhere.
Client confidentiality
Engagement-based access, DLP and information barriers so the right people see the right matters.
Video and collaboration
Microsoft Teams or Zoom configured properly. Audio that works, screen sharing that works, recording that works.
Knowledge management
SharePoint and Teams architected so firm knowledge is retained when people move on.
Security questionnaires
We help you answer the security questionnaire your corporate clients keep sending.
Onboarding and offboarding
New consultants productive quickly. Departing consultants offboarded through a documented process with access removed promptly.
Typical outcomes
- Less IT friction for billable teams
- Client confidentiality protected with controls clients can audit
- Consultants productive from any location
- IP retained when senior people move on
- Corporate-client security questionnaires answered with confidence
Boutique strategy consultancy
Strategy firm with 60 consultants serving ASX-listed clients was failing client information security audits. We redesigned their M365 tenancy with information barriers, deployed Intune-managed devices with conditional access, and applied DLP and access controls to the main channels where client data was stored, shared and sent. The firm was able to respond to corporate-client security reviews with stronger evidence and cleaner controls.
