Technology decisions shouldn’t be guesses
Most businesses between 10 and 100 employees face the same problem: real technology decisions to make — replace the server or move to the cloud, renew this software or switch, what to budget for next year — and nobody on staff whose job is knowing the answer.
That’s the gap IT consulting fills. BoldTech has been the IT consultant Vancouver, WA and Salmon Creek businesses turn to since 2009 — the technology advisor on call when no one on staff owns the answer. We learn how your business actually runs, then give you recommendations in plain English with real numbers attached — including the option of doing nothing, when that’s the honest answer.
You get an opinion you can trust from people who will still be here next year, not a report that gathers dust.
“I am working with them on updating my servers and mobile computing options for my business and they come in time and again at budget (and sometimes under).”

What our IT consulting covers
The work an IT director would own — available without the hire.
Technology roadmaps
A written 1-3 year plan for your hardware, software, and infrastructure — what gets replaced when, and what it costs.
Budget planning
IT spending you can put in next year’s budget with confidence — no surprise capital purchases in month eight.
Project leadership
Office moves, server replacements, cloud migrations, phone systems — scoped, quoted, and delivered on budget.
Security and insurance readiness
Security posture reviews and help completing cyber insurance questionnaires — work we do for our clients every renewal season.
Vendor management
Internet, phones, software, copiers — we evaluate contracts, talk to vendors in their language, and make sure you’re not overpaying.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 strategy
What belongs in the cloud, what doesn’t, and how to get there without disrupting your team — plus license cleanup that usually pays for the engagement.
Two ways to work with us
Ongoing guidance or a single project — both start with understanding your business.
Built into managed IT
Our managed IT clients get consulting as part of the relationship: regular strategy reviews, a living technology roadmap, and budget forecasts that update as your business changes. This is how most of our consulting happens — it works best when we already know your environment inside out.
Project-based consulting
Need an expert opinion or a project led without an ongoing agreement? We take standalone engagements: a technology assessment, a migration, an office move, a second opinion on a big quote. Scoped and priced up front, so you know the cost before we start.

Common questions about IT consulting
What business owners ask before hiring an IT consultant in Vancouver, WA. If yours isn’t here, call and ask it directly.
What does an IT consultant actually do?
We answer the technology questions your business doesn’t have anyone on staff to answer: what to buy, what to replace, what to budget, which vendor to trust, and whether that big quote you got is fair. The output is concrete — a written roadmap, a budget, a project plan — not a binder of theory.
How is IT consulting billed?
Project work is scoped and quoted up front, so you know the full cost before we start. For our managed IT clients, ongoing consulting and strategy reviews are built into the monthly agreement at no extra charge.
Do we need ongoing consulting or a one-time engagement?
Depends on the question. A migration or office move is a one-time project. Budget planning and roadmaps work better as an ongoing relationship, because the plan needs updating as your business changes. We’ll tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.
Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes — this has become one of the most common reasons businesses call us. Insurers now require MFA, backups, endpoint protection, and security training before they’ll write or renew a policy. We help you complete the questionnaire accurately, close the gaps it exposes, and document everything for the renewal.
Do you only consult for your managed IT clients?
No. Standalone projects are welcome — an assessment, a second opinion, a migration. Plenty of consulting clients later move to managed IT once they’ve seen how we work, but there’s no requirement and no pressure.
What does a technology roadmap include?
An inventory of what you have and its age, a replacement schedule so nothing fails as a surprise, security and backup posture, software and licensing review, and a year-by-year budget. Plain English, real numbers, updated as things change.
Want a second opinion on your technology?
Bring us the decision you’re sitting on. You’ll get a straight answer, even if it’s “don’t spend the money.”
