Every growth conversation eventually runs into the same roadblock: “Our IT is a mess.” Shared passwords, unpatched laptops, and half-migrated Google accounts drain trust before a project even starts. Here’s how we take firms from duct tape to dependable.
1. Standardize the stack
We inventory every workstation, Wi-Fi network, DNS record, and SaaS login. Anything business-critical but unmanaged gets folded into a single identity provider such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Now MFA, conditional access, and device compliance policies apply everywhere.
2. Modernize collaboration
Once identity is centralized, we migrate mailboxes and shared drives, tune Teams/SharePoint spaces, and implement structured naming. Staff get a curated launch guide so they know exactly where to store client files, how to request access, and what happens when someone leaves the firm.
3. Protect the perimeter
Baseline security (endpoint protection, managed backups, zero-trust remote access) sits alongside a refreshed public website with SSL, accessibility updates, and analytics. That visible polish reassures prospects while the behind-the-scenes guardrails keep data resilient.
Result: partners get out of the “break/fix” business and can invite automation, BI, and AI into a stable environment. Foundational IT isn’t glamorous, but it’s the difference between firefighting and operating with confidence.
