BEFORE WE BEGIN
Useful questions, answered.
Is this part of managed IT?
It may be included or provided as a separate planning service. The agreement should say which meetings, outputs and follow-up activities are covered.
Will this replace our internal IT leader?
The relationship can support existing leadership. Agree decision rights and responsibilities so operational and planning work have clear owners.
LET’S DEFINE THE RIGHT SCOPE
Give your next technology decision a business context.
Share your priorities first. We’ll discuss fit, responsibilities and a scoped proposal before work begins. Please keep passwords, patient details and confidential records out of your initial inquiry.
