Fox Technology Consulting advises small and mid-size businesses on IT management, networking, cloud, and security, bringing enterprise-level judgement to decisions you shouldn't have to guess at. Configuration and change support available where a project needs it.
Average maturity score across new client environments before engagement. Most reach target within the first 90 days.
Advisory-led, not a helpdesk. We assess and recommend, and handle the configuration and change work directly where a project calls for it.
Direction for the technology decisions that shape everything else: budgets, priorities, and delivery.
Networks and Microsoft cloud environments designed properly the first time, and configured to match.
Practical information security and audit-ready compliance, scoped to what a growing business actually needs.
Making sure the business keeps running, and can prove it will, when something eventually goes wrong.
Most businesses land here after weighing up one of the other two. Here's how the three options actually compare.
| Consideration | In-house IT Manager | Enterprise consultancy | Fox Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breadth of expertise | One person, one skill set | Broad, via account teams | Network, cloud, security & compliance, in one |
| Cost | Salary, benefits, training | High day rates, long engagements | Retainer from £50/wk, or quoted per project |
| Objectivity | Sticks to what they know | Often tied to vendor partnerships | Independent, fit to your business |
| Compliance readiness | Rarely a specialism | Available, at a premium | ISO 27001-aligned, built into every engagement |
| Commitment | Fixed headcount | Long-term contracts | Retainer or one-off, your choice |
Advisory-led throughout. We tell you what needs doing and why, then deliver it directly where that's the right call.
A clear-eyed review of your current environment: infrastructure, security posture, and compliance gaps.
A prioritized roadmap and straight recommendations, independent of any vendor's agenda.
Where it's needed, we deliver the work directly: configuration, migrations, and change support included.
Ongoing advisory on retainer, or come back to us project by project as things change.
Ongoing advisory on retainer, or a defined piece of work priced on quotation. Most clients start with one and add the other as needed.
"We didn't need another helpdesk. We needed someone to tell us what actually mattered before our ISO 27001 audit. Fox gave us a clear roadmap in two weeks, and we passed first time."Dana WhitfieldOperations Manager, Harlow & Pine Architecture
