IT AUDIT — PROCESSES · NUMBERS · PLAN

IT AUDIT IN 14 DAYS

Fourteen days and a fixed price. You leave with a process map, a costed picture of the current state and a plan for the year — including if you hand the delivery to someone else.

01

WHAT IT IS, AND WHAT IT ISN'T

„IT audit" tends to suggest a walk through the server room and a list of hardware to replace. Ours looks different: it starts with processes, not infrastructure. What interests us is where the company loses time and money — technology is one possible cause and often not the main one.

WHAT SEPARATES IT FROM A PRESENTATION

The audit ends with a document you can act on: a process map, a list of quick wins, a calculated cost of the status quo and a plan for the year with a budget per quarter. It does not end with a recommendation to „consider a transformation".

It has a fixed price agreed before the start. We don't bill by the hour, because then it is in the supplier's interest for the audit to last longer — and in yours for it to end with something concrete.

FOURTEEN DAYS, DAY BY DAY

Audit 14 runs for fourteen days, most of which we spend inside your company or talking to your people. Below is the real sequence — not an outline from a proposal, but what actually happens.

Day 1–2Entry

Talking about goals and reviewing what is already known

We start from what has to change — not from which systems you own. We agree how we will know the audit paid off and what is out of scope. We go through documentation, supplier contracts and whatever somebody already tried to fix.

  • Goals and scope
  • System inventory
  • History of earlier attempts
Day 3–7On site

Talking to the people who do the work

The most important part and the only one that can't be done remotely or from documents. We sit next to people in accounting, sales and the warehouse and watch what their day really looks like — because the process in the procedure and the process performed daily are usually two different things.

  • Process audit
  • Observation at the desk
  • Bottlenecks and workarounds
Day 8–10Numbers

Costing the current state

We turn observations into hours and money: how much time re-typing consumes, what errors caught at the end cost, how much you pay for licences nobody uses. Without that number, no proposal for change has anything to be measured against.

  • Cost of status quo
  • Licence review
  • Payback estimate
Day 11–13The plan

Putting the changes in order

Recommendations are ranked by payback and risk, not by what is technically most interesting. Some of them aren't projects at all but configuration of tools you already own — those go first, because they cost least and build trust in the rest of the plan.

  • Quick wins
  • Quarterly plan
  • Budget and KPIs
Day 14Handover

Going through the findings together

We walk the report point by point, with every number open to challenge. You leave with a document that is yours — including when you give the delivery work to somebody else, or to nobody.

  • Final report
  • Q&A session
  • Decision on next steps

Thirty minutes is enough to judge whether an audit is a sensible first step for you — and to say plainly if it isn't.

03

WHAT YOU GET AT THE END

Four things, all in a form you can pass on — to co-owners, a bank or another supplier. With no dependency on us: this isn't a document that only makes sense if you sign a follow-up contract.

01 · PROCESS MAP

How the company really works

Not an org chart, but the flow of work and information between departments, with the points marked where something stalls, duplicates or disappears. For many companies it is the first time this is visible on one page.

02 · COST OF STATUS QUO

What doing nothing costs

Hours and money attached to specific activities. The point of that number is to give every later quote something to be compared against — without it, everything looks expensive.

03 · QUICK WINS

What can be fixed straight away

A list of changes achievable in weeks, usually without buying anything. Our audits consistently show that 30–50% of reported problems are solved by configuring tools the company already pays for.

04 · PLAN FOR THE YEAR

Sequence, budget and measures

Broken into quarters, with budget ranges and a metric attached to each stage. The plan assumes you will change your mind along the way — which is why the stages are independent rather than arranged in one cascade.

WHEN WE ADVISE AGAINST AN AUDIT

If you already know exactly what you want to do and are looking for a supplier, an audit is a wasted cost and we will say so. The same applies when a company is facing a problem that has nothing to do with processes or technology: a falling margin, people leaving, a dispute between owners. IT consulting won't fix those and will only postpone the conversation that has to happen.

The audit is the entry point to everything else we do — document workflow, process automation, system integration, ERP or AI delivery — but it commits you to none of them. The wider context is on digital transformation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

How much does an IT audit cost?

It has a fixed price, agreed before the start and independent of how much we find. We quote it after a short call in which we establish the size of the company and the number of areas to review — auditing one department and auditing a whole company is different work.

We deliberately don't bill by the hour. On an hourly rate it is in the supplier's interest for the audit to take longer, and in yours for it to end with something concrete.

Do we have to order the delivery work from you afterwards?

No, and that is built into how the report is written. The document has to be executable by any supplier — it contains a list of requirements, not a description of our solution.

Sometimes the recommendation is „stay with what you have and fix the configuration”. Then there is nothing to deliver, and that is what we say.

How much time will the audit take from our team?

Most of it between day three and day seven, when we talk to the people doing the work — realistically one to two hours each from several people. The person commissioning the audit is involved at the start and at the end, around half a day in total.

We don't ask anyone to prepare documentation „for the audit”. If something isn't written down, that is a finding in itself, not homework beforehand.

What if we're worried about what the audit will reveal?

That is a common and reasonable concern, especially when someone internally is responsible for a system that turns out to be a problem. So the report describes processes and decisions rather than judging people — nobody is named next to a fault.

In our experience the most frequent finding isn't „somebody got it wrong” but „the company grew faster than its tools”. That is a normal stage, not something to be embarrassed about.
