BIAS I.T. CONSULTANTS
Now in their 3rd decade of this century, the BIAS IT consulting practice has helped every type of organisation imaginable by designing and delivering bespoke information technology systems. From engineering to construction companies, from manufacturing to educational services, the BIAS IT consultants provide a ‘World Class’ IT consultancy service for every size and type of business (including multinationals).
In their capacity as an ‘IT solutions provider’ the BIAS IT consultancy team deliver a wide range of sector specific IT services. Listed below are a few of the bespoke IT solutions that are currently offered by BIAS IT Ltd.
BUSINESS SOFTWARE & I.T. HARDWARE CONSULTANCY
As part of their daily consultancy practice, BIAS IT consultants are often called upon to provide expert advice and guidance to organisations regarding the effective use of information technology. The BIAS IT consulting team specialise in both business IT hardware and software within practically all UK commercial sectors and industries.
Most IT consultancy businesses will analyse a company's IT needs and will proceed to recommend appropriate technologies to meet their client’s business objectives. However, the BIAS IT consultancy service goes one step further by implementing and then physically supporting the software & IT hardware systems they’ve recommended.
CONSULTING FOR NETWORK PLANNING & INSTALLATION
The BIAS IT network consultancy service includes designing network architecture, estimating the number of users and recommending the hardware & software needed to account for data traffic patterns, security requirements, and future growth plans. In regard to network topology, i.e. planning the layout of cables and devices, it’s reasonable to claim the BIAS IT networking consultancy team is extremely experienced.
Furthermore, BIAS IT network engineers are able to install and configure the physical network infrastructure, (such as switches, servers, cables, wiring closets, patch panels, and cable management systems) in offices, warehouses, OEM facilities, laboratories, Data Centres & so on.
HIRING A TEMPORARY ONSITE I.T. SUPPORT SPECIALIST
Installing new computer hardware and software can be a relatively hassle-free experience but it’s the BIAS IT consultancy ‘aftercare service’ that really takes the pain out of a new installation.
Believe it or not, the BIAS IT consultancy ‘aftercare service’ can include providing an onsite IT support specialist to help with any technical issues or questions that might occur post installation. This level of customer care is unmatched by most other IT solution providers.
In terms of providing onsite IT professionals, a BIAS IT consulting computer engineer can be deployed either permanently, on a part-time basis or just whenever you need them.
Data Center & Server Room Consultancy Services
BIAS IT consultants are one of the few IT solution providers that can completely manage the planning, installing and configuration of a customers’ Data Centre or server room.
Furthermore, BIAS IT Ltd. is a recognised reseller of Data Centre equipment and certified by Synology as a data storage & IT security Gold Partner.
These accreditations enable the BIAS IT consultancy team to help ensure their clients receive the benefits of trade prices, extended warranties, and prolonged product support.
Business Continuity Planning & Disaster Recovery Consultants
Perhaps one of the most important services to be offered by BIAS IT consultants is the ability to deliver and support a full Business Continuity Plan & Disaster Recovery Solution. Put simply, BIAS IT consultants specialising in Business Continuity Planning & Disaster Recovery focus specifically on the procedures and processes for restoring IT systems, data, and infrastructure after a disruptive event (e.g. natural disaster, flood, fire, cyberattack, physically hostile act, etc.).
The BIAS IT disaster recovery team help to ensure that an organisation can recover its technological operations and minimise downtime, thusly getting your business back on its feet ASAP.
Bespoke Software Development
The BIAS IT software development team can provide a full range of in house custom written software solutions and web-based applications. This exceptional software development service is designed to meet any requirements you may have from full CRM systems, stock control, online forms, purchase order software, ERP systems and even barcoding. No matter what type of bespoke software you need developing the BIAS IT coders can help.
Some of the technologies BIAS IT developers work with include: ASP, ASP.NET, VB, VB.NET, C#, AJAX, Javascript, VBScript, Bootstrap, HTML 4, HTML 5, XML, CSS, VBA, JSON, MySQL, MSSQL, Python & Ruby.

DOOR ENTRY & CAMERA NETWORK INSTALLATION
In todays’ world of high-tech IT solutions, it’s not just banks, research labs, warehousing, military installations and hotels that rely on cybersecure CCTV monitoring & access control (door entry) technology. Today most companies need ‘Business CCTV Systems’ and ‘Access Control Solutions’ that are resistant to hacking.
The BIAS IT security consultants specialise in both installing and maintaining: cybersecure high resolution CCTV, announcement systems (microphones & speakers), access control hardware, plus detection & surveillance stations for both commercial and off-site locations.
*BIAS IT security solutions are accredited with a Gold Partnership Level from Synology.
REFURBISHING YOUR BUSINESS COMPUTER HARDWARE
If you are looking for an IT consulting business to upgrade your computer systems but you’re on a limited budget, it’s definitely worth asking the BIAS IT refurbishment team to help.
It is not commonly known but most servers, office desktops, company laptops and business smartphones slow down as they get older because of software issues. Technically, your IT hardware is still the same and more than capable of running at the ‘speed of new’.
In fact, an "upgrade here and a reinstall there", will soon have your business computers operating at full speed again and at just a fraction of the cost of buying new.
ACQUISITION SERVICE FOR SOFTWARE LICENSES & COMPUTER HARDWARE
Managing the acquisition of software licenses and computer hardware is an everyday occurrence for the BIAS IT consultancy team. The task of buying new computers for a client often runs hand in hand with buying and configuring the software for those computers.
However, if a client already holds software licenses the BIAS IT consultant’s duty can also include reinstalling software onto newly purchased IT hardware (e.g. tablet computers, PCs, laptops, servers, etc.).
The BIAS IT consultant most commonly works with the Microsoft 365 product family and will configure everything from account login to email.
FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions About IT Consultancy
How much do IT consultants charge?
In the UK, IT consulting rates vary based on experience, location, and Specialisation. However, most IT consultants will either charge by the hour, by the day or for the completion of a project.
There are exceptions but normally hourly rates for an IT consultant can range from between £50 (for junior IT consultants) to £400+ per hour (for senior or specialised IT consultants). Daily IT consultancy rates are usually cheaper than hourly rates and tend to start from as low as £400 (for junior IT consultants) to £1,600 per day (for senior IT consultants).
If you are looking to employ a team of IT consultants to work on a project (e.g. installing your IT infrastructure into a new office or building a server room) it can be considerably cheaper to simply ask the IT consulting firm to agree a project-based one-off fee for doing the work.

What to ask when meeting an IT consultant?
When meeting with an IT consultant, it's important to ask questions that help you assess their expertise and their understanding of your needs. To help you determine if an IT consultant can deliver what you need within budget and on time, listed below are five simple but key questions:
- What’s the IT consultants’ background & experience (i.e. sectors, projects and references)?
- What’s the IT consultants’ technical expertise (e.g.: technologies, cybersecurity & data protection)?
- Does the IT consultant have project management skills (e.g.: timeline and budget planning)?
- What does the IT consultant charge for time & equipment (e.g. what are the hourly, daily, project-based rates and hardware purchasing discounts)?
- Does the IT consultant also provide post-implementation support?
What is an IT consulting practice?
An IT consulting practice is a business unit or a firm that specialises in providing expert advice and services related to information technology (IT) to organisations. The practice typically involves a team of IT professionals who offer strategic guidance, technical expertise, and hands-on implementation to help businesses optimise their use of technology, improve operational efficiency, and achieve their business goals.
Examples of specialised IT consulting practices include cybersecurity consulting firms, cloud consulting companies, and most commonly digital transformation businesses.
Overall, an IT consulting practice is a specialised service provider that helps organisations leverage technology to solve problems, drive innovation, and achieve strategic objectives.
