IT Consultancy
Advice from people who can also build it
Senior expertise in infrastructure, security, networking and Azure architecture, available on a day-rate basis or as an embedded residency, from a team that delivers and operates what it recommends.
Overview
Our IT Consultancy Services
Some decisions need expertise you do not have in-house, and do not need permanently. A security review before a board sign-off. An architect to design a platform properly before anything is built. Cover while a key role is vacant.
Synapse provides that expertise on demand, drawing on the same people who design, build and run infrastructure for our managed service customers. The advice comes from operating experience rather than a methodology deck, and if you want us to deliver what we recommend, we can.

Benefits
IT consultancy from people who run infrastructure.
-
Senior people, when you need them
Access to architects and specialists in security, networking, Azure architecture and infrastructure design, engaged for as long as the work requires.
-
Embedded residencies
Where a programme needs continuity, a lead architect can be embedded in your team for an extended period, working inside it day-to-day.
-
Advice tested in production
Synapse consultants spend the rest of their time running infrastructure. Recommendations reflect what actually works in production.
-
Cover for knowledge gaps
Where a key person has left or a skill is missing, consultancy can hold the position while you recruit, so decisions keep moving.
-
A route into delivery, if you want one
Because Synapse designs, builds and operates infrastructure, an assessment can continue straight into delivery with the same people. Equally, the advice stands on its own if you take it elsewhere.
