Independent IT Advice

Someone on Your Side of the Table

Many small and medium businesses rely on external IT providers, telecommunications companies, MSPs and technology vendors.

Most provide valuable services.

But when a significant technical decision needs to be made, it can be useful to have someone independently representing your business.

We don't need to replace your existing IT provider.

We can work alongside them as your independent technical specialist.

We can:

  • Review supplier proposals
  • Review technical designs
  • Attend technical meetings
  • Challenge proposed solutions
  • Compare technical options
  • Review quotations from a technical perspective
  • Assess whether proposed equipment is appropriate
  • Review security recommendations
  • Help define requirements before requesting quotations

The Outcome

You have an independent technical specialist on your side of the table for a decision, a design, a meeting or a quotation. Your existing IT provider can remain in place.

What We Need From You

  • The decision you need to make.
  • Any proposals, designs or quotations you already have.
  • The business requirement, including constraints that are not written down yet.
  • The hours, agreed before the advice starts.

What We Will Not Take On

DSF Technologies does not do general day-to-day support or helpdesk work. It is a specialist consultancy.

  • We do not replace your existing IT provider, and we do not run their service desk.
