Consulting and Auditing Services
One of Australia’s leading commercial fit-out companies approached us requiring a second opinion on their IT infrastructure. In their eyes, IT just wasn’t working for them anymore. Mandatory business applications were either non-functional or crashing which was directly impacting productivity and overall general staff morale.
Sneeknet undertook a consultative engagement to:
- Discover the current state ICT infrastructure
- Review the current ICT structure and framework
- Review current expenses, contracts and managed services
- Review any inflight projects
- Identify business processes, workflow and business requirements
- Identify and highlight any current risks and exposures to the business
- Document findings and make recommendations to rectify any issues uncovered
While these types of reports can be quite lengthy and confusing, Sneeknet provided a snapshot framework which contains all the IT elements, systems and services. This illustrates a visual ‘traffic light’ representation of the entire ITC landscape and helps demonstrate to non-technical stakeholders the problems/issues the business is facing.
While it was clear to our client there were major issues, they were quite shocked at the findings in it’s entirety. The decision was quickly made to move forward and implement Sneeknet’s recommendations. The report, framework and recommendations directly translate into an ICT roadmap with a defined scope of works.
Together, Sneeknet and our client have embarked on a journey to modernise their entire IT environment with a complete end-to-end IT transformation project. This includes; Cloud first strategy uplift of their productivity suite applications to Microsoft O365, entire security overall haul, standardisation of laptops/workstations with managed services to complement these projects and new services.
