IT Consulting & Procurement for Utah Businesses

WITS IT consulting is offered through several models depending on engagement scope. Strategic consulting engagements are typically project-based with fixed deliverables and pricing. Ongoing vCIO services range from $1,500–$4,500 per month depending on business size.

Hourly consulting is available at $150–$200 per hour for specific projects or short engagements. Project management for major initiatives is priced based on project scope and duration.

A vCIO (virtual Chief Information Officer) provides executive-level IT leadership without the cost of hiring a full-time CIO. WITS vCIOs participate in business strategy discussions, develop IT roadmaps, manage major projects, and represent technology in executive decisions.

Most Utah businesses with 25–200 employees benefit from vCIO services. Below 25 employees, technology decisions are usually owner-managed. Above 200 employees, full-time IT leadership often becomes appropriate.

Yes. WITS represents Utah businesses in hardware purchases including servers, workstations, networking equipment, security appliances, and specialized systems. We negotiate with multiple vendors to secure enterprise pricing.

Savings on major purchases typically exceed our procurement consulting fee. We are vendor-neutral — our recommendations are based on what fits your business, not which vendor pays the highest commission.

Yes. Cloud migration is one of our most common consulting engagements. We assess workloads, model costs over 3–5 years, develop phased migration plans, and manage execution. We work with Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Not every workload belongs in the cloud. Honest assessment includes identifying applications that should stay on-premises for cost, performance, or compliance reasons.

Yes. WITS holds PMP (Project Management Professional) certification — the industry-standard credential for project management. PMP methodology applies to every major IT project we manage including scope definition, schedule management, budget tracking, risk management, and stakeholder communication.

Most Utah small business IT companies do not have PMP-certified project managers. The discipline matters most on large projects where budget and timeline failures are common.

Engagement length varies by scope. Strategic IT roadmap development typically takes 4–6 weeks. Vendor selection and procurement engagements run 4–12 weeks depending on project complexity. Ongoing vCIO relationships are typically annual.

Project management engagements last for the duration of the project being managed — typically 2–12 months. Free initial consultation determines the right engagement model for your specific situation.

Yes. Many Utah businesses use WITS consulting alongside existing IT support. We provide strategic guidance and project management while your existing team handles day-to-day operations. This is common for businesses that have a capable internal IT person but lack executive-level IT strategy expertise.

We coordinate respectfully with existing relationships and focus on adding value where current resources have gaps.
