Many businesses rely on IT consulting to keep pace with today’s fast-moving IT landscape. Fail to react quickly and accurately and you risk being outpaced by your competitors who are using technology to their advantage!

If you feel you don't have the right internal resources, enlisting IT consulting services may be the missing piece to this picture — whether for a one-time project or ongoing strategic advice and guidance, including our Managed IT Services.

Tiger Mask IT consultants will work with you to document a detailed strategic plan that maps your business goals to short-term and long-term action plans to achieve those goals.
IT budgeting goes hand in hand with strategic IT planning. But trying to build a technology budget without a clear understanding of what your company needs is frustrating.
Tiger Mask IT consultants work with you to develop a realistic IT budget that incorporates both your own assets and resources, plus the projected costs of the new technology that will deliver the most value to your organization and help you reach your business goals.
Chances are your network has developed gradually over time, with layers of hardware and software that may now be contributing to unintended security gaps or inefficiencies.
Tiger Mask IT consultants can conduct a comprehensive review of your IT environment and examine how your current technology is helping or hindering your business. You receive a written evaluation of the key areas that need improvement, with prioritized recommendations.
As your business relies more heavily on technology, the inherent risks increase as well. A single data breach or ransomware attack can cause huge financial, legal and reputational damage.
Our comprehensive cybersecurity assessment identifies your level of risk and defines a mitigation approach to minimize and manage your threats and vulnerabilities.
Many organizations are bound by compliance regulations and standards, such as HIPAA, FINRA, PCI-DSS, NIST/CMMC and ISO standards.
Tiger Mask provides compliance-readiness risk assessments, gap analysis and remediation planning, along with audit preparation. Our IT consulting experts make sure your organization has a clear and well-documented framework that leads to successful industry compliance!
Many businesses are transferring their data and applications from on-premises data centers to private or public clouds, typically to reduce costs, increase security, and build redundancy.
Our IT consultancy helps you develop the right cloud migration strategy, including having the right cloud security in place. We take you through the pros and cons, help you evaluate cloud providers, calculate costs, and then implement a plan to ensure a successful cloud migration project.
Business interruptions happen, and a continuity and disaster recovery plan is vital to keep your company up and running through whatever crisis you might face.
As an information technology consulting firm, Tiger Mask helps you formulate a BC/DR plan that encompasses how employees communicate in a crisis, where they go to find the information they need, and how they can access the tools and processes they need to perform their jobs in any situation.

Business growth requires a balance of efficiency, collaboration, and speed—and that’s what our custom application development solutions deliver.

Whatever your needs may be, if you can’t find the right software off the shelf, our expert IT consulting team can build a custom application that delivers exactly what you want.
One of the key areas where an IT consultant can deliver value is to create an IT strategic plan or roadmap for your organization. In general, an IT strategic plan lays out your key business drivers, objectives and goals, and identifies the actions needed to achieve them.
An IT roadmap is crucial to ensure your technology organization is in alignment with the overall business strategy and objectives. Having a documented IT strategy benefits both technology leaders and functional executives by creating transparency and encouraging collaboration across teams.
More specifically, an IT strategic roadmap can help you:
IT consulting represents a significant portion of overall IT services spending across all industries and business sizes. While growth in the overall IT services market is steady, demand for digital transformation and cybersecurity consulting is particularly strong as companies embrace cloud migration, big data, AI, and mobile technologies, while also needing to respond to ever-more sophisticated cyber attacks.
A trusted IT advisor can help translate these new technologies into a competitive advantage and a better bottom line.
Notably, if your organization is looking for technical expertise to augment your current staff, leveraging an external IT consultant can be a smart option—particularly considering the industry’s ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage, which makes attracting and retaining good talent a persistent challenge.
Digital transformation spending will grow to more than 53% of all technology investment by 2023.
New investments in cloud initiatives will outpace all other enterprise IT spending through 2022.
