Suzaku Consulting is an IT consultancy first and foremost. We will always look at your business with outside expertise, ensuring that we deliver an exceptional service which upholds high industry standards. This also means that all of our wrap-around services are premised on a consultant’s eye looking for where improvements can be made, with an outside-in perspective.
Drawing on decades of experience within our team, your business can benefit from a wide range of skills across different sectors and technologies. Our sector specific experience is also matched with choice industry partnerships, enabling you to draw on a wider array of skills and experience as needed.
Transformation
Suzaku is the ‘Vermillion Bird’ and while poor IT systems can be the death of a business, we ensure that you can ‘rise again’ – re-inventing your IT operations much like the legendary Phoenix is forever re-born. Digital transformation is admittedly a buzz-word, much in the same way some in industry tack-on ‘AI’ to just about anything.
We take a different approach. Transformation has to be sensitive to your needs, your priorities and your sector. Digital transformation is unique, bespoke and while it may include off-the-shelf systems for less mature businesses, it is always done with the intent to build and demonstrate your unique offer.
Our team have a range of sector-specific experience which is incredibly valuable to a growing business, and a life-line to fledgling or failing organisations. Instead of being mis-sold ‘solutions’ when you are most vulnerable, Suzaku Consulting ensure that your business can undertake detailed discovery which is alive to your intent.
Transformation with us is therefore precise, guided by your immediate needs and long-term vision. This can only be achieved if we are alive to your needs: the kind of transformation an SME requires is totally different to a magic circle law firm, and not only in order of scale.
Ours is an altogether bespoke approach.
Growth
Growing pains are awful and open a business to a litany of risks. Instead of chancing it, bringing on IT suppliers and staff who ‘play it by ear’ it is much better to seek out trusted expertise familiar with serving high-growth businesses. Our consultants routinely work with businesses which are delivering on their growth plans and need to adapt to the varying stages of their business journey.
As a technology reseller we can not only recommend the choice options appropriate for your current state of play, we future-proof businesses which see IT operations as an investment in future success. This ranges from web-application development to achieving security accreditations, always enabling you to win new accounts and achieve a healthy ROI on your spend. IT should never become a cost to your business.
As with any growing outfit, the setup you once had is likely not sufficient for now larger teams and more complex operations. You may have become international, or wish to, and need an IT function which reflects your current state of play; perhaps you’re needing to re-assure customers of your IT security credentials; you may possibly have become a target because of your success; or perhaps simply your current suppliers can’t keep up with your growth.
Our consultants are familiar with a range of growth journeys and will happily assist you every step of the way in yours.
Resilience
Many business owners are too busy working ‘in the business’ to put time to working ‘on the business’ which can lead to significant risks around resilience. Do you have a handful or gatekeepers, people with unique authority within an the business where it effectively stops-still without them?
The issue of resilience often only comes up after it is too late, something small where an individual may fall ill for a short period and things simply do not get done; something significant such as a break in the partnership, or within an executive team. Not addressing these concerns early on can cause severe pain for any business.
Our consultants are familiar working with a range of regulated industries which have to be alive to the issue of resilience, business continuity and disaster recovery. This covers both the technical side as well as human-centric issues. A common example is break-glass access: should an IT Manager not be present and available, a business may become totally locked out of core systems.
Suzaku Consulting have good form on helping businesses of all sizes build resilience and security into their IT systems and business processes, ensuring the business carries on even where individuals or suppliers may not for a period of time.
