How to choose an IT consultant

  1. Ask whether the consultant earns commissions or referral fees on products they recommend.
  2. Check experience with projects like yours, and ask for a sample deliverable.
  3. Agree the deliverables, timeline and price for each phase before work starts.
  4. Ask for two or three references from clients of your size and industry, and call them.
  5. Get the scope, response times and price in writing before you sign, including how you leave and get your data back.

Questions to ask an IT consultant

  • Do you receive commissions from any vendor you might recommend?
  • What will we receive at the end of the project?
  • Who will do the work, and what similar projects have they completed?
  • Do you bill hourly, per project or on retainer?
  • Will you work alongside our current IT provider?

For decisions and projects rather than day-to-day support: choosing a new system, planning a cloud move, setting an IT budget, preparing for an audit or reviewing an existing IT provider.
