Overview

Strategic Technology Advisory, Grounded in Experience

IT consulting is executive-level technology advisory work, delivered on a fractional basis so a small or mid-sized business gets the strategy, vendor selection, and roadmap guidance a CIO or CTO would provide without the full-time cost. Wizcom has offered this to Detroit-area firms across 12 industries since 1983, staying vendor-independent so recommendations align with your business, not a resale margin.

From technology roadmapping and vendor evaluation to digital transformation planning and IT budget optimization, our consultants bring over 40 years of hands-on experience across 12+ industries. We do not sell products or push platforms. We provide objective, independent advice designed to align your IT investments with your strategic goals.

Whether you are modernizing legacy systems, evaluating cloud migration options, or building a 3-to-5 year technology plan, Wizcom acts as an extension of your leadership team. We identify opportunities, quantify risks, and deliver actionable recommendations that drive measurable results, not shelved reports.

Vendor Selection

Unbiased evaluation of technology partners, platforms, and products. We assess capabilities against your requirements to ensure the right fit, not the biggest name.

FAQ

Common Questions

How Is Wizcom's IT Consulting Different from Other Firms?
We are practitioners, not just advisors. With 40+ years of hands-on implementation experience, our recommendations are grounded in real-world results, not theoretical frameworks.
Do We Need IT Consulting If We Already Have an Internal IT Team?
Yes. Our consulting complements your internal team by providing strategic perspective, specialized expertise, and an objective third-party viewpoint that is difficult to maintain internally.
What Does a Typical IT Consulting Engagement Look Like?
Engagements range from one-time assessments to ongoing advisory retainers. Most start with a comprehensive IT assessment, followed by strategic recommendations and optional implementation support.
Can Wizcom Help Us Evaluate and Select Technology Vendors?
Absolutely. We provide vendor-neutral evaluations based on your specific requirements, budget, and long-term strategy, ensuring you get the right solution, not just the most expensive one.
How Much Does IT Consulting Cost?
Wizcom's IT consulting is priced by engagement type. A one-off technology assessment typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 depending on scope. A retainer for fractional CIO or CTO advisory is usually $3,000 to $10,000 per month based on the hours committed. Project-based engagements (roadmap development, vendor selection, digital transformation planning) are fixed-price and quoted after discovery.
What Is a Fractional CIO or CTO?
A fractional CIO or CTO is an executive-level technology leader who works with your business part-time, on a retainer, instead of as a full-time hire. Fractional arrangements typically run 10 to 40 hours per month and give a small or mid-sized business access to strategy, vendor management, and IT budget oversight at a fraction of the $250,000-plus cost of a full-time senior IT executive.
How Long Does a Typical Consulting Engagement Last?
A one-off assessment or vendor evaluation typically runs four to eight weeks. Roadmap and strategy engagements run eight to sixteen weeks. Fractional CIO or CTO retainers are open-ended and month-to-month, with most Wizcom clients staying on the arrangement multi-year once it is in place. Every engagement is scoped and priced up front, with no lock-in beyond the current month.
Do You Also Implement the Recommendations You Make?
Yes, if you want us to. Wizcom's full stack of managed IT, cloud, network, web and app development, and VoIP services means recommendations can be executed by the same firm that produced them. If you prefer to implement in-house or with a different partner, we hand over documentation and remain available for follow-up questions. There is no requirement to use us for implementation.
Do You Help with Compliance Frameworks like HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2?
Yes. Wizcom's consulting engagements regularly include compliance work: gap assessments against HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and industry-specific frameworks. We identify control gaps, prioritize remediation, and document policies and procedures for auditors. We do not perform the audit itself (that must be an independent third party), but we prepare the environment and documentation so the audit goes cleanly.
