Strategic IT & Security Consulting
vCIO-style guidance across security, compliance, software, networking, and infrastructure—so strategy and execution stop working against each other.
STROMTECH advises growing and innovative companies on what to build, buy, and retire—then implements optimization, light custom development, and AI or workflow automation only when they earn their place under that strategy.
Who we help
Teams of roughly 10–150 people where work still moves through email, spreadsheets, and heroics—and leaders want clarity before the next tool purchase.
What we do
Strategic IT & Security Consulting
The strategic umbrella for growing and innovative companies—we consult across infrastructure and cloud, software, cybersecurity, compliance, networking, AI, and automation. Advisory and implementation in plain language owners can act on.
Technology Optimization
Right-size the stack after strategy is set—audit licenses and integrations, cut redundant spend, and align infrastructure, cloud, and tools to outcomes—not shelfware collecting dust.
Light custom development
Small apps, internal tools, approval UIs, dashboards, and integrations when configure/buy isn't enough. Scoped to weeks, not years—tied to a real business process, with security and handoff built in.
Workflow Automation
Remove busywork once the strategy is clear—map how work really moves, eliminate duplicate entry, and connect the handoffs your team already negotiates in email and spreadsheets.
AI Automation
Apply AI where it earns its place as an execution arm—intake, routing, summarization, and guardrails that stay grounded in real operations, not vendor hype.
Engagements & pricing
Clear entry points today—the $99 discovery call and free diagnostics. Broader engagement pricing is discussed on the discovery call once scope is understood.
- Workflow Diagnostic
- Free
- Discovery Call
- $99 (45 min)
Project and retainer pricing depends on scope—we quote after discovery, not from a generic rate card.
Common problems we fix
Three patterns we see on almost every engagement—each with a deeper dive on symptoms, fixes, and what good looks like.
Industries we often work with
Broad brand, specific pages—how broken workflows show up in different ops-led teams.
Selected work
Anonymized outcomes from real projects—honest qualitative results, not invented metrics.
How we work
Discovery
Listen to how work actually happens—not the process diagram from three years ago.
Mapping
Document triggers, owners, systems, and failure modes before anyone buys a connector.
Build / integrate
Ship in change windows with rollback paths and realistic test data.
Handoff
Train the people who run the process—not just IT.
Sustain
Monitor, tune, and revisit when volume or regulations shift.
Security & guardrails
- Least-privilege service accounts and documented owners
- Change windows with rollback—not Friday-night surprises
- Runbooks for exceptions and on-call handoffs
- Data minimization for AI-assisted steps where applicable
How an engagement runs
Diagnose
Workflow Diagnostic (free) surfaces where time, margin, and trust leak—industry-aware wording.
Align
Paid discovery call confirms fit, priorities, and what done looks like.
Build & integrate
We implement in slices—prove value, then expand—rather than big-bang rewrites.
Hand off & sustain
Your team gets runbooks, access patterns, and a sustain plan—not a black box.
What we deliver
- Current-state workflow map with owners and systems called out
- Sequenced roadmap (quick wins → larger projects)
- Integration / automation spec with realistic effort ranges
- Security and accountability notes tied to each change
- Runbook snippets for handoff and sustain
What we do not do
We don't replace your day-to-day IT support — we complement it. Specifically:
- MSP:We're not a per-seat help desk or lights-on managed IT provider.
- MSSP:We don't sell 24/7 SOC monitoring as the product — security and compliance are woven into our strategy work.
- SaaS reseller:We're vendor-neutral; recommendations follow your outcomes, not our reseller margin.
- Product dev agency: We ship small, business-tied apps — not multi-year product platforms.
Tools & ecosystems
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Airtable, Notion, Slack, Teams, and field-service tools like ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro—patterns we help with, not a partner badge wall. See integrations hub →
FAQ
- How do you handle security?
- Security is part of strategic consulting from day one—least-privilege access, documented change windows, runbooks, and plain-language notes for owners, not scare slides after the fact.
- How are you different from an MSP or MSSP?
- We sit at the strategy and implementation layer—not a per-seat help desk or 24/7 SOC product. We complement (not replace) your day-to-day IT support, with security and compliance woven into strategy work rather than sold as a standalone monitoring retainer.
- Do you build custom software?
- Yes—light custom development for focused business needs: internal tools, approval UIs, dashboards, and integrations. Scoped to weeks, not multi-year product builds, with security and handoff built in.
- Do you only work with one industry?
- No. We specialize in ops-led teams—professional services, trades, healthcare admin, nonprofits, and similar—where work flows through people and spreadsheets before it flows through systems.
- How do engagements usually start?
- Most teams start with the free Workflow Diagnostic, then a paid 45-minute discovery call if fit looks right. We sequence quick wins before larger builds.
- Will you replace our entire stack?
- Rarely on day one. We right-size what you have, integrate where it helps, and replace only when the math and adoption story are clear.
- Where does AI fit?
- AI is an execution arm, not the strategy. We apply it where it reduces real work without adding risk—intake, routing, summarization, light analytics—after your IT stack is aligned.
