FAQs about technology audits and assessments

When do I need a technology audit or assessment?

Most organizations request an audit or assessment because they have a technology problem that needs to be solved but don’t know where to start. However, we recommend using our technology audit services before any major tech purchase, upgrade, migration, or implementation or before you begin a new software development project. Our audits will help you identify your current weaknesses, determine the best and most cost-effective path forward, and ensure ultimate scalability and security.

We offer a streamlined engagement process facilitated by our global staff of tech talent with expertise in all the major technology platforms, frameworks, and programming languages. We start with a discovery call to learn all about your pain points and project goals. Next, we create a detailed technology audit plan, select the best team members for the project, and implement any necessary tools. Then, your assessment team hits the ground running, using automation, data analytics, and other technologies to accelerate the process and keep costs low, all while communicating with you every step of the way. Finally, we provide a detailed report that includes recommendations for how to move forward.

We provide technical consulting and software development services for almost any industry, use case, and platform.
