Enabling companies to maximise the impact of their IT spend by providing impartial advice on IT and digital strategy, transformation and roadmaps.

We’ve all been there, multiple vendors telling you what you need to do next, systems integrators advising you with questionable impartiality, consultancy practices mapping out a roadmap, which of course includes them. They’re not impartial, they’re not independent and more often than not they want what’s right for them, not what’s right for your business. So who do you trust? From this question came the genesis of Independent IT Consulting. We have created Independent IT Consulting to use our collective experience to assist our clients to navigate vendor vested interests and the complexities of IT solutions by providing qualified, impartial, independent advice. At Independent IT Consulting, we seek to become your trusted adviser.
