Know exactly what you have before you plan what comes next.
A current state assessment gives you a complete, accurate picture of your IT environment. Every asset, licence, risk, and inefficiency documented so your roadmap is built on facts, not assumptions.
Every layer of your IT environment assessed and documented.
We go beyond a simple asset list. Our current state assessment covers infrastructure, security, licensing, processes, and spend to give you a complete baseline for your roadmap.
Infrastructure Inventory and Audit
Every server, network device, workstation, and cloud resource catalogued and assessed. Age, performance, support status, and replacement timeline documented for every asset.
Software and Licensing Review
Full review of all software licences, subscriptions, and contracts. Overspend, duplication, and compliance gaps identified. Renewal dates tracked and rationalisation opportunities flagged.
Security and Risk Identification
Current security posture assessed against UK best practice. Vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps documented with risk ratings and recommended remediation.
Process and Workflow Assessment
Key business processes reviewed to identify where technology is creating friction or inefficiency. Manual workarounds, shadow IT, and integration gaps all documented.
IT Spend Analysis
All IT expenditure reviewed and categorised. Wasteful spend, duplicate tools, and renegotiation opportunities identified. Total cost of ownership calculated for major systems.
Findings Report and Prioritisation
All findings consolidated into a clear, prioritised report. Issues ranked by business impact and urgency. Immediate actions separated from longer-term roadmap items.
From scoping to findings in two weeks.
Scoping and Stakeholder Briefing
We agree the scope of the assessment with your leadership team. Key stakeholders identified, access requirements confirmed, and assessment timeline agreed.
Infrastructure Discovery
Automated discovery tools and manual review used to catalogue every IT asset. Network topology, server configurations, and cloud resources all documented.
Licensing and Contract Review
All software licences, SaaS subscriptions, and supplier contracts reviewed. Compliance status checked and rationalisation opportunities identified.
Security and Risk Assessment
Security posture reviewed against Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and UK best practice. Vulnerabilities and compliance gaps documented with evidence.
Stakeholder Interviews
Interviews conducted with department heads and key users to understand pain points, workarounds, and unmet technology needs not visible from the infrastructure alone.
Findings Report and Presentation
All findings consolidated into a prioritised report and presented to your leadership team. Immediate actions agreed and roadmap inputs confirmed.
How we have helped UK businesses.
Professional Services Firm Uncovering Hidden Risk
A 45-person accountancy firm in Preston had never had a formal IT audit. Systems had grown organically over 10 years with no documentation or oversight.
Assessment completed in 8 days. Three critical security vulnerabilities identified and resolved. Licensing overspend of 18,000 per year eliminated through rationalisation.
