Knowing when to consult an expert:

Asking for independent help can sometimes be perceived as relinquishing the control and direction of your project. However, knowing when to consult with industry experts for the areas of your business where there may be knowledge gaps, has always proven to be a beneficial decision and wise investment of your money.

 

Shorter term, one off consultancy:

IT services Consultancy is about plugging a gap in a company’s expertise. All companies at some stage require outsourced expertise to enable them to expand or get better value for money. Our experienced IT consultants minimise risk during times of change. Consultancy can simply be about gaining value on the purchase of new hardware or software, developing an Internet strategy, choosing new suppliers or recruiting staff.

 

Our IT consultants can also provide valuable help when more than one IT supplier seem to be giving conflicting information and an independent viewpoint is required.

 

Solutions for Charities and Other Non-For-Profit Organisations

 

Solent Solutions helps trustees and managers channel the power of technology to each individual organisation's needs. Would you like to work smarter – not harder - by employing the right hardware and software? Just give us a call to discuss what you’d like to do better, faster or more affordable and we will do our best to find a solution that fits both your needs and your budget.

 

We are equally adept at helping organisations get their computer networks running while making the most of their budgets, solving tricky problems or planning large-scale changes. We have many years’ experience in creating and maintaining useful and economical computer systems. We use this experience to develop practical, workable information systems that simply do what you need them to do.

 

We have been working with charities and other not-for-profit organisations since we started. We understand the problems and the "balancing acts" that are often required to keep your organisation running efficiently while still keeping expenditure to a minimum so that your funds can go where they are truly needed.

 

Whether you have your own IT staff or not, we will work with you, giving you all the help you need to get a computer network, website or even just a laptop that works best for you and your organisation.

 

We will work with you in the way that suits you best - either on a day-by-day, problem-by-problem basis where you call us in for a specific task, or on a regular support contract basis whereby we are on the end of the phone when you need us and we will visit you regularly to check things are working, perform necessary updates and fix minor issues. Whether you want to see us once a day, once a week or once in a blue moon, we are flexible enough to fit in with what suits you best.

 

We provide technical consultancy services for most major IT hardware and software, but most notably Microsoft, Dell, Cisco & HP.

 

We can also help by providing backup when your IT department is stretched - during holidays for example, or during major upgrades or reconfigurations.  We can work on your site or be on the end of the phone whenever you need additional help for an out of the ordinary problem.
