Project Management Excellence

Get your IT projects delivered on time, on budget, and without the usual headaches. No corporate jargon - just practical project management that works.

Why Small Business IT Projects Often Fail

Most small business IT projects go off the rails because there's no one actually managing them. Everyone's too busy running the business to chase up vendors, coordinate timelines, or make sure everything actually works together.

What We Actually Do

  • Be the Point Person: One contact for all your project needs - no passing the buck
  • Vendor Management: We chase up suppliers so you don't have to
  • Reality Checks: We tell you when timelines or budgets don't make sense
  • Risk Management: Spotting problems before they become disasters

Types of Projects We Handle

System Implementations

New accounting software, CRM systems, or upgrading your IT infrastructure without disrupting your business.

Typical duration: 2-6 months

Office Relocations

Moving offices while keeping your technology working? We coordinate everything from internet connections to phone systems.

Typical duration: 6-12 weeks

Digital Transformations

Moving from paper-based processes to digital workflows, including staff training and change management.

Typical duration: 3-9 months

Our Project Management Style

We keep it simple and practical:

  • Weekly Check-ins: Short calls to keep everything on track
  • Plain English Updates: No project management jargon or confusing charts
  • Proactive Problem Solving: We fix issues before they become your problem
  • Flexible Approach: We adapt to how your business actually works

What You Can Expect

  • Projects delivered within 10% of agreed budget and timeline
  • Regular updates you can understand (no project manager speak)
  • One person accountable for the entire project success
  • Post-implementation support to ensure everything keeps working

When You Don't Need Us

To be honest, you might not need project management if:

  • Your project is just buying some software and setting it up yourself
  • You have someone internal with the time and skills to manage it
  • The project is under $5,000 and straightforward
  • You enjoy chasing vendors and coordinating timelines

Common Questions

Can't we just manage the project ourselves?

Absolutely! If you have someone with the time, skills, and authority to chase vendors and make decisions quickly, you might not need us. We're here for when you're too busy running your business.

How do you charge for project management?

Usually a fixed fee based on project complexity and duration. We quote upfront so there are no surprises. For very large projects, we might do a monthly retainer.

What if the project goes over budget or timeline?

If it's due to scope creep or client changes, we'll discuss the impact upfront. If it's poor planning on our part, we wear the extra cost. We're pretty good at realistic estimates though.

Do you work with our existing IT suppliers?

Yes! We're happy to work with vendors you trust. We can also recommend suppliers if you need them. Either way, we coordinate everyone so you don't have to.
