IT Consulting & Implementation
Your Technology Decisions Are Only
As Good As the Advice Behind Them
Wrong technology choices compound. A platform picked without a migration path becomes a rebuild in three years. A network designed around a single office cannot support a second location. Cobham Tech audits your environment, identifies where you are locked in or exposed, and builds a technology roadmap tied to how your business actually operates.
Get a Free Technology AssessmentWhat's Included
From Assessment to Execution, End to End
Every engagement starts with understanding how your business actually operates, then building a technology roadmap that fits your workflows, your team, and your budget, not a vendor's preferred package.
Technology Assessment
A complete audit of your current infrastructure, hardware, software, licensing, security posture, and vendor relationships, benchmarked against NIST guidelines and ISO/IEC 27001 principles, to identify gaps, redundancies, and risk before they become emergencies.
Cloud Migration Planning
Structured migration to Azure, AWS, or Microsoft 365 with full documentation, testing, and rollback planning. No surprise downtime, no data left behind.
Network Design & Architecture
Structured cabling, switching, wireless, and firewall architecture designed for your physical space and your team's workflow, with documentation you can hand to any future technician.
Vendor Selection & Negotiation
We evaluate vendors on your behalf, comparing pricing, terms, support commitments, and long-term fit, so you make technology purchases based on data, not sales pressure.
Office Relocation & Buildout
A defined buildout, typically three to four weeks, gets a new office or medical practice wired, secured, and ready to open: network architecture, firewall and Wi-Fi, workstation deployment, Microsoft 365, security policy, and backup. Medical practices also get a HIPAA security risk assessment, Business Associate Agreements, encrypted devices, and segmented networks before opening day. When the buildout is complete, we transition into ongoing managed support if you want it.
IT Budget Planning
Quarterly and annual technology roadmaps with projected costs, so your finance team can plan for technology the same way they plan for everything else in the business.
What Changes When Technology Decisions Are Made Correctly
Right Tools From the Start
The right platform chosen early saves the cost of migration, retraining, and licensing changes later. Good consulting pays for itself before the project is complete.
No Project Overruns
Defined scope, documented milestones, and clear accountability mean your technology projects finish on time and on budget, not whenever the vendor gets around to it.
Infrastructure That Scales
Architecture planned for growth means adding a new office, ten new employees, or a new software platform does not require starting over from scratch.
How We Assess
We Map Your Current State Before Recommending Anything
Every technology recommendation we make starts with an audit of what you actually have. Hardware age, software licensing, network topology, backup status, security gaps. We build the complete picture before suggesting a single change.
That discipline prevents the most expensive consulting mistake, recommending infrastructure built for a problem the client does not actually have.
How We Deliver
We Stay Through Implementation, Not Just the Slide Deck
Most consulting engagements end with a report. Ours end with a working system. Cobham Tech manages implementation alongside your team, coordinates vendors, and handles the technical details that get lost in handoffs between advisors and executors.
If something does not work as specified, we fix it, not write a change order for it.
Common Questions About IT Consulting
How is IT consulting different from managed IT services?
Managed IT is ongoing, monitoring, support, and maintenance every month. IT consulting is project-based: we assess your environment, plan a technology strategy, and implement specific changes. Many clients start with a consulting engagement to fix foundational issues and then move to managed services for ongoing support.
We want to move to the cloud, where do we start?
With an assessment of what you are currently running and why. Cloud migrations that fail do so because no one mapped the dependencies before cutting over. We document your current environment, identify what should move first, and build a phased migration plan with rollback options at every step.
Do you work with our existing vendors and platforms?
Yes. We do not require you to replace vendors to work with us. If your current platforms are working, we document and optimize them. If they are not, we make the case with data, costs, limitations, and migration path, before recommending a change.
How long does a technology assessment take?
For most small and mid-size businesses, an initial assessment takes two to five business days, including a walkthrough of your physical environment, interviews with key stakeholders, review of your current infrastructure, and delivery of a written report with findings and recommendations.
Can you manage the technology side of an office move?
Yes. Office relocations are one of the highest-risk IT events a business can go through without a plan. We handle structured cabling, network design for the new space, workstation deployment, phone and internet cutover, and move-day support, so your team is productive on day one in the new location.
What does a full buildout for a new office or medical practice look like?
A defined buildout is typically a three to four week engagement to stand up a new office or medical practice: network architecture, firewall and Wi-Fi, workstation deployment, Microsoft 365 setup, a written security policy, and backup, wired, secured, and ready to open. Medical practices get the additional pieces required before day one, a HIPAA security risk assessment, signed Business Associate Agreements, encrypted devices, and segmented networks that keep clinical and administrative traffic apart. Law and accounting firms opening a second location follow the same defined scope on a comparable timeline. Once the space is open, most clients transition directly into ongoing managed support, no re-onboarding, no second discovery process.
