If so, we can help, for a small monthly fee we can provide IT Management oversight and advice so that when you make a decision it is the right one at the right price.

We have staff who have year of experience both in managing and implementing IT into organisations of all sizes and sectors. A number of our senior staff as well as holding technical qualification also have business qualifications.

As Stuart Pettman director at Live Squawk and Market Tutors said “to get someone with the level of experience and breadth of knowledge that the Nico Directors bring to my organisation would cost me well over six figures. For a small monthly fee, I have someone on call that I can trust to help me make the right decisions for my company. They do monthly IT meetings where we discuss the requirements of the business and they give us regular updates and reports. This has literally saved me thousands of pounds and move importantly when I make a decision it is an informed one”.
