Maximum Networks, an IT support provider with a full-service offering spanning everything from cyber security to telephony, is offering a no-obligation free IT audit for businesses across the UK, with regional engineering services available in all major cities.
An IT audit provides decision-makers with precise insights into how well their systems, hardware and software are performing, where they have opportunities for advancement or improved efficiency, and where they may be exposed to security or productivity vulnerabilities.
The Importance of High-Performance IT Systems
Particularly in periods where some business sectors have been struggling due to rising cost pressures and an inflationary economy, it is incredibly important that the digital infrastructure almost every business relies on to operate is working well.
Auditing those systems is step one, where companies and non-profit organisations can gain valuable information, looking at rationalising legacy systems or evaluating their effectiveness, and assessing whether their setup is future-proof, scalable and suited to expansion – or is approaching the end of its useful life.
An in-depth audit may also be advisable before embarking on new projects or initiatives, such as broadening the number of hybrid or remote working positions or launching products on a new platform or channel.
Simple tweaks such as correcting under-optimised networks, solving issues with connectivity, or addressing problems causing slow system or device performance or a sluggish server can make a significant difference. Whether a business has persistent niggles it wants to fix or simply needs a better idea about the suitability and security of its IT, a professional audit can deliver.
Maximum Network’s IT Audit Service
Each audit may have different areas of focus depending on the nature of the business, the assets, interfaces and software it uses, and any specific areas of concern, such as looking for the best ways to reinforce cyber security protections. Business IT audit recipients can expect the following:
- System performance testing and external connection checks.
- A security review, including all endpoint security and network administration.
- Remote connection appraisals and hardware evaluations.
- An assessment of data backup and retrieval approaches.
- Broadband and phone system health checks.
Maximum Networks begins the process with an initial discussion about the business's IT setup, concerns or priorities to put together a plan about where audit outcomes will be most influential or which hardware, software and connectivity types need to be assessed.
In some cases, the focus of an IT audit may be more specific, such as where an organisation needs to determine whether it is meeting regulatory requirements within its sector and whether information and data security protocols are sufficient to comply with data protection legislation – these more targeted appraisals are better managed as a deeper dive project following an initial free IT audit.
Once the work is complete, the Maximum Networks team provides the business with a report showing how each aspect of the system has performed, where it is operating well, and where it needs attention. These outcomes may be sorted into priority with core or business-critical issues highlighted to ensure they are dealt with urgently.
Organising a Free IT Audit From Maximum Networks
MD of Maximum Networks, Steward Lines, says, 'We first introduced our free audit service to respond to a trend where so many clients would approach us asking for a specific IT consultancy service, or telephony transition, only to find that their baseline digital architecture wasn't ready or appropriate to support an upgrade – often causing delays in planned improvement works while dealing with under-performing systems or workstations.
Over recent years, so much of the work environment has changed – such as the massive evolution towards hybrid working – and we know that many businesses are exposed to risk, which, in the worst-case scenario, could be a disastrous hack or data breach.
Free IT audits are a simple way for us to provide businesses with the data they need to make decisions and prevent their growth potential and progress from being stalled by inadequate IT systems or straightforward issues we can correct in minimal time, such as outdated security patches.
There is no obligation to pursue any of the recommendations we might come up with or to use our team for any replacements of assets or systems – but with each IT audit worth over £300, we know that this service carries real value. As an expert in the world of business IT solutions, it's our way of helping educate business owners about how to enhance and protect their organisations.'
Businesses interested in a free IT audit can request a call back from the Maximum Networks team through the enquiry form on the company’s website.
