What an IT consultancy does, and how we do it
An IT consultancy looks at your technology from the outside, tells you plainly where it stands, and sets out what to change and in what order.
Our consultants are hands-on engineers. As a Jamf Professional Partner and Jamf MSP, and a UK Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), we know how each recommendation would actually be delivered on Apple and Microsoft platforms. We declare those partnerships up front, and we recommend what fits your organisation. Our IT case studies show the kind of work we do.
With offices in London and Dubai, we advise organisations with teams in the UK, the UAE and the wider GCC.

Deliverables you keep
How we approach common consultancy work
What each kind of engagement covers, and where it leads.
IT strategy and digital transformation
We start with what the business is trying to do over the next few years, then review your people, devices, cloud services, security and suppliers against it. The result is an IT strategy and a roadmap with priorities, rough costs and owners, written so a board can approve it and a team can deliver it.
What an IT audit covers
An IT audit gives you an honest picture of where you stand today. We review devices, identity, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backup, security and support arrangements, then list risks, quick fixes and longer-term recommendations. For a detailed review of one platform, see our Jamf Pro health check or our Microsoft 365 health check.
Cloud, Microsoft 365 and Apple platform decisions
Many organisations now run Mac and Windows side by side. We help you decide how to manage each, which licences you need and how identity should work across both. Read Jamf vs Intune, or see our Apple and Jamf and Microsoft pages.
How we approach security and compliance advice
We review your controls against recognised baselines, help you answer client security questionnaires, and help you prepare for Cyber Essentials. Where ISO 27001 is the goal, we put the technical controls and evidence in place. See cyber security.
IT due diligence and virtual CIO
Before a deal, we assess the target’s IT estate, security, licences, suppliers and key-person risks, and report what it would take to integrate or separate it.
Not every organisation needs a full-time IT director. A virtual CIO from our team owns the roadmap, manages suppliers, reports to the board and joins planning meetings, for a set amount of time each month. If you have in-house IT staff, our co-managed IT support can sit alongside them.
AI, Copilot and business continuity
Before you switch on Microsoft 365 Copilot, we check your data, permissions and sharing so it only surfaces what each person should see. We also write and test business continuity and disaster recovery plans, so you know how long recovery takes and who does what.
How an IT consultancy engagement runs
The same steps for every review, strategy or audit.
Discovery call
We talk through your goals, concerns and deadlines.
Agreed scope
A written scope, fixed price and timetable for you to approve before any work starts.
Review
We review your set-up, documents and suppliers, and talk to your people.
Findings and roadmap
A written report of risks, quick fixes and recommendations, with a prioritised roadmap.
Delivery
Our projects team delivers it, or we hand a plan to your team or supplier.
Follow-up
We check progress and update the roadmap as plans change.
Specialist expertise when a project needs it
We cover the core of IT consultancy ourselves. When a project needs something beyond that, such as structured cabling, audio-visual design or deep expertise in a specialist application, we bring it in from a trusted network of specialist partners and associates we already work with.
You still deal with one consultancy. Postremo IT leads the work, manages every specialist and stays accountable for the result.
- One point of contact and one plan
- Specialists chosen for the project, not the sale
- Postremo IT accountable for delivery
- Findings and documents you keep
How consultancy is priced
- A short discovery call first
- A fixed price for most reviews and audits
- Larger programmes as a monthly engagement
- Virtual CIO time as a monthly block
From advice to delivery
The engineers who advise you are the same people who can deliver the result.
Delivery and support
When you want the recommendations delivered, our projects and transformation service runs migrations, Jamf and Intune rollouts, networks and office moves. Our managed IT support team can look after it afterwards.
For example
For a global consumer brand we updated the Jamf Pro technical design document from a live configuration pull, covering certificates, network access, security and sign-in.

What is IT consultancy?
IT consultancy is independent, expert advice that helps an organisation plan, review and improve its technology. A consultant assesses where your IT stands, then recommends what to change and in what order.
What does an IT audit include?
We review your devices, users, security, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backup and support arrangements. Then we give you a written report of risks, quick fixes and recommendations.
Do you deliver projects as well as advise?
Yes. Our projects and transformation service delivers migrations, Jamf and Intune rollouts, networks and office moves, usually at a fixed price for an agreed scope. We can also produce a plan for your own team to deliver.
What is a virtual CIO?
A virtual CIO is a senior IT leader who works for you part time. They own the IT strategy and roadmap, manage suppliers and report to the board, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Can you carry out IT due diligence for an acquisition or investment?
Yes. We assess the target’s IT estate, security, licences and suppliers, and report the risks and the work needed to integrate or separate it. The report is written for investors and boards as well as IT teams.
Can you help with Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001?
Yes. We help organisations prepare by putting the right technical controls, policies and evidence in place.
What if a project needs skills you do not have in-house?
We bring in the right specialist from a trusted network of partners and associates. Postremo IT leads the work, manages the specialist and stays accountable for the result.
How is IT consultancy priced?
After a short discovery call, we quote most reviews and audits at a fixed price for an agreed scope. Our Jamf Pro health check is quoted before we start, based on the size and complexity of the instance. We can run larger programmes and virtual CIO support as a monthly engagement.
