IT management: an external IT manager
An external IT manager oversees the company’s IT choices, for a defined period or on an ongoing basis. They decide with you what to do, in what order and at what cost.
What we do
A few activities, repeated over time.
Analysis and plan
Overview of systems, priorities, a twelve or twenty-four month plan.
Budget and suppliers
IT spending under control, supplier selection and review, renewals.
Periodic meetings
A fixed appointment with management: what happened, what is needed, what is decided.
Rules and compliance
Policies, access, incident management, support with client questionnaires.
When you need IT management
Moments when decisions are missing, not operational resources.
There is no plan
Purchases are made case by case, with no plan for the next two years.
Too many suppliers
Each supplier answers for its own scope and nobody is responsible for the overall result.
A key person leaves
The role needs covering while you recruit, without stopping projects.
A big project is coming
A migration, a new office, a change of ERP.
Frequently asked questions
Does it replace our internal contact?
Usually it works alongside them: the internal contact knows the company, we bring method and technical expertise.
Can we start with a single project?
Yes. You can start with a migration or an analysis and continue if needed.
Who currently makes the company’s IT decisions?
If responsibility is not clearly assigned, it is worth defining it together.
