IT consultants

No. The first conversation is free and there's no commitment. We use it to understand what you want to achieve, not to sell you something you don't need.

You get a recommendation and a suggested next step. We tell you what we think is right for you, even if the best next step is to wait or to solve it in-house. You decide where to go from there.

Anything from a single integration to a complete system. We split larger projects into phases, so you have something working along the way and can decide on the next phase once you've seen the results of the first.

Yes, often. Many of the people we work with are owners, directors and operations managers without an IT background. We explain the choices so you can decide, without jargon and without hiding what's uncertain.

An IT consultant is an external specialist a company brings in for a period instead of hiring, to advise on and carry out IT work such as technology choices, systems, integrations and implementation. At Thenum, the consultants are engineers who both advise and do the work. Businesses usually bring us in when they want to build something new, when they have a goal but not the route to it, or when a project has stalled.

An IT consultant turns a business goal into concrete technical decisions and sees them through. In practice that means working with management and internal teams, choosing systems and suppliers, designing architecture and integrations, and doing the implementation, with clear agreements and regular updates along the way.

We can run the solutions we build ourselves: hosting, updates and monitoring. We don't offer general IT operations such as helpdesk, computers and networks, but we're happy to point you in the right direction.
