Consulting Services
This is the process of exploring the client's specific network and information processing needs and goals in a structured manner. It deals with the organisation's strategic planning for the use of information technology and how to implement it effectively. The outcome is usually in the form of a written report detailing the current situation, the desired result and recommendations on how to proceed.

Audit involves a thorough appraisal of existing information systems and networks, followed by a report that details the situation, compares it with relevant industry standards, points out short-comings and weaknesses with potential problem areas and proposes remedial actions.

Analysis is the process of specifying the procedures, forms and computer processing that are integrated to form a business system. Systems analysis has a structured methodology that has evolved to create and implement effective commercial systems. The outcome is the specifications for the new system, detailing the software and hardware, the education and training of the users and how the system is to be implemented. The security methods to safeguard the system and the data are also specified.

Advice is given for specific problem or developmental areas. The cause of the problem is outlined, impacts detailed and remedies prescribed.

Consulting services are charged on an hourly basis, or at a set, negotiated fee.
