COSMODATA provides comprehensive IT Consulting Services for businesses that need clear direction, sound technology planning and an objective assessment of their existing infrastructure.
The goal is not to adopt technology for technology's sake.
The goal is to choose the right solutions based on the business's real needs, risk level, available budget and future growth goals.
What IT Consulting Services include
IT Assessment
We assess the existing technology infrastructure and identify weaknesses, technical limitations, and areas that need improvement.
The assessment may include:
- servers
- workstations
- network infrastructure
- firewalls
- Wi-Fi
- storage
- backups
- Microsoft 365
- cloud services
- PBX
- software applications
- printing infrastructure
The result is a clear picture of the actual state of the IT environment.
IT Strategy & Roadmap
Technology development must follow a plan.
We create an organized IT Roadmap that may include:
- immediate corrective actions
- medium-term upgrades
- replacement of old equipment
- cloud migration
- cybersecurity improvements
- backup and Disaster Recovery
- automation
- software development
- infrastructure projects
This way, IT investments are made in a specific order of priority and not piecemeal.
IT Budget Planning
Technology is a significant part of business cost.
We help create an organized budget for:
- hardware
- software
- subscriptions
- licensing
- cloud services
- support contracts
- security
- infrastructure projects
- upgrades
This way, the business can better forecast costs and avoid unplanned investments.
Infrastructure Consulting
We design or redesign the technology infrastructure based on the organization's real needs.
The following can be assessed:
- network architecture
- structured cabling
- racks
- server rooms
- switches
- firewalls
- Wi-Fi
- WAN connectivity
- UPS

The goal is a stable, secure and scalable infrastructure.
Cloud Consulting

Consulting can include:
- Microsoft 365
- Azure
- cloud backup
- cloud storage
- hybrid environments
- cloud migration
- SaaS applications
- identity management
We do not recommend cloud just because it is a trend.
We recommend cloud when it offers a real business advantage.
Microsoft 365 Consulting
Making proper use of Microsoft 365 can significantly improve a business's day-to-day operation.
We can advise on:
- Exchange Online
- Microsoft Teams
- SharePoint
- OneDrive
- Entra ID
- security policies
- user licensing
- collaboration
- access management
The goal is the right use of the available services, without needless complexity or cost.
Cybersecurity Consulting
Cybersecurity must be part of the overall IT design.
We assess:
- security posture
- firewalls
- endpoint security
- identity protection
- MFA
- backups
- vulnerability management
- security policies
- user awareness

The results can lead to a specific Security Improvement Plan.

We help businesses plan how they will continue to operate in the event of a serious incident.
Consulting can include:
- Business Impact Analysis
- RTO
- RPO
- backup strategy
- recovery procedures
- secondary connectivity

The goal is to reduce downtime and business risk.
Vendor & Technology Selection
The technology market offers many options.
We help with the assessment and selection of:
- hardware
- servers
- networking
- firewalls
- backup solutions
- software platforms
- cloud services
- security products
- PBX
- printing solutions
Based on technical and business criteria, not only on the initial price.
Software & Application Consulting
When an off-the-shelf application does not meet a business's needs, we examine whether the following is required:
- custom application
- web application
- integration
- API
- workflow automation
- internal business tool
- reporting solution
Consulting precedes development so that the final system solves a real business problem.
Business Process Automation
Many everyday processes can be automated.
We analyze workflows such as:
- approvals
- ticketing
- document processing
- reporting
- notifications
- customer communication
- internal requests
- data entry
and we identify points where technology can reduce time, errors and operating costs.
Virtual CIO / vCIO
For businesses that do not have an in-house CIO or IT Manager, we can act as an external technology advisor.
The role may include:
- IT strategy
- budget planning
- vendor management
- technology roadmap
- risk management
- project planning
- management reporting
- coordination with suppliers
The business gains strategic technology guidance without the need to build a full internal IT management structure.
Project Planning & Technical Design
Before an IT project starts, proper planning is required.
We undertake:
- requirement analysis
- technical design
- architecture
- budgeting
- vendor coordination
- implementation planning
- risk assessment
- documentation
This reduces the risk of delays, wrong choices and unexpected costs.
Technology Lifecycle Management
Equipment and software have a specific life cycle.
We help with the design of:
- hardware refresh cycles
- server replacement
- operating system upgrades
- software lifecycle
- licensing renewals
- end-of-support planning
This avoids the accumulation of old, unsupported or vulnerable systems.
Cost Optimization
A sound IT strategy does not necessarily mean higher cost.
It often means making better use of resources that are already available.
We look for optimization opportunities in:
- licenses
- subscriptions
- cloud services
- telecom
- printing
- hardware
- support contracts
- overlapping technologies
The goal is to reduce unnecessary costs without compromising quality or security.
IT Documentation
Proper documentation is an important part of an organized IT environment.
The following can be created:
- network diagrams
- asset inventories
- infrastructure documentation
- system descriptions
- recovery procedures
- technical standards
- access procedures
- operational checklists
This way, knowledge remains available and does not depend exclusively on specific individuals.

We distinguish what is critical from what can wait.
