The problem IT management solves

IT management fixes the situation where technology is bought and maintained ad hoc, without a shared plan. The typical picture: servers and cloud services configured by different people at different times, licences still paid for people who left, and nobody who can say which systems are critical or what happens when one of them fails.

In a smaller company this role usually lands on the CEO, the accountant or the most technical person in the team. That works until the first serious outage, audit or growth spurt. Meixit takes ownership of the IT side as a whole: keeping the overview, setting priorities and carrying decisions through.

If you first need an independent assessment of where you stand, start with IT consulting and move to ongoing management afterwards. What keeping an IT function running through growth actually involves is described on our track record page; for the tidying-up and savings side, see the Inbank story.

How we work

Work always starts with an inventory, not with buying a tool. We change things only once it is clear what you have today and where the biggest risk sits.

  • Mapping: systems, vendors, licences, devices, who has access to what and where the data lives.
  • Risk and cost overview: what breaks most painfully, what is paid for without use, where you depend on a single person.
  • Agreeing priorities: a short list of what gets done in which order and the measurable outcome of each step.
  • Execution: configuration, migration, documentation and user training, keeping business disruption minimal.
  • Ongoing management: regular reviews, tracking updates and licences, adjusting the plan as business needs change.

What the client gets

The agreed results are tangible, not slideware. You are left with a documented IT environment you can make decisions about even without us.

  • An up-to-date overview of systems, licences and contracts in one place.
  • A written IT plan with priorities and owners.
  • Tidy access rights and a joiner-leaver process your own HR lead can run.
  • A view of IT spend and the specific places where it is not justified.
  • One contact to reach when something breaks or a change is coming.

Who it suits

IT management suits small and mid-sized companies where IT matters to daily operations but a full-time IT manager is not yet reasonable. Typically organisations of up to 5000 employees, several cloud services, a scattered device fleet and a growing need for order.

It also fits when your IT person is leaving and the knowledge threatens to leave with them, or when the company is preparing for an audit, a funding round or a merger and IT has to be in order and described.

Security and access work usually goes hand in hand: see also IAM solutions and IT security solutions.

Frequently asked questions about IT management

What is the difference between IT management and IT consulting?

IT management is ongoing responsibility for your IT environment; consulting is time-boxed advice or analysis. With management we keep the overview, execute the plan and stay available day to day. Consulting ends with an assessment, plan or technology choice that you or another partner can implement. Many clients start with consulting and switch to ongoing management once the plan is set.

Do you replace our IT person or work alongside them?

Both are possible and agreed before we start. If you have a system administrator, we take on strategy, vendor contracts and larger projects while daily user support stays with them. If there is no IT person, or they are leaving, we cover the role in full and document the environment so you no longer depend on any single individual.

How long does the mapping take?

It depends on the number of systems and whether documentation exists. A smaller, mostly cloud-based environment can be mapped in a few weeks; multiple sites, on-premise servers and older software take longer. We give a time estimate after the first conversation, once we know which systems are involved.

Do we have to drop our current vendors?

No. We do not resell a single vendor's stack and we start from what you already have. We recommend a change only when the current solution does not cover the need, creates a security risk or causes unjustified cost, and we put the reasoning in writing.

How do you measure whether IT management is working?

Metrics are agreed at the start, based on the mapping results. We usually track the number of risks closed, recovery capability for critical systems, changes in licences and spend, and how often work is blocked because no process has been described.

Where do we start if the situation is completely opaque?

Start with a conversation and a mapping exercise, not with tool selection. Use the form below or call +372 5699 0777. In the first conversation we establish which systems are in use and what hurts most, then propose the order to work through it.
