A technology assessment gives you a plain, written picture of your computers, network, software and security. You see what works, what is risky and what to fix first, in order and with costs.
Get a Free IT AssessmentMost owners cannot say with confidence what technology their business actually runs on. The office manager set up the Wi-Fi years ago. A contractor installed the server. Someone bought licenses nobody uses. A technology assessment replaces guesses with facts. A technician reviews your devices, network, accounts, backups, security settings and software, then writes down what is there and how healthy it is.
The result is not a sales pitch in disguise. It is a report you can hand to a partner, a banker or an insurance agent. It lists what is old, what is exposed and what is working fine and should be left alone. That last part matters. A good assessment keeps you from replacing equipment that still has years left.
For Atlanta offices, the review also covers practical local issues. Older Downtown and Midtown towers often have shared closets and aging cabling. Summer storms and power flickers put gear at risk. Offices spread between Buckhead, Alpharetta and the Perimeter need links that stay stable. We look at the setup you have, not a generic checklist.
Technology decisions get expensive when they are made blind. A firm in Buckhead may renew a server it does not need. A startup near the BeltLine may pay for a dozen software tools that overlap. A clinic in Decatur may believe backups are running when the last good copy is months old. An assessment finds these gaps before they turn into outages, surprise invoices or a failed insurance questionnaire.
It also gives you a fair way to compare providers. When you have a written baseline, every quote you collect is based on the same facts. You can ask each company the same questions and judge their answers. Many owners use the report to plan a budget for the next one to three years, which makes IT a planned cost instead of a recurring emergency.
Everything below is part of one monthly plan. Pick a topic to see what is handled for you and how it works in a Atlanta office.
We count every laptop, desktop, printer and server, then check age, warranty, operating system and update status. Most offices find a few machines nobody remembered and a few that should have been retired years ago.
We also review the software you pay for. Duplicate tools, unused licenses and out-of-date programs are common. The goal is simple: keep what earns its place, replace what is failing and stop paying for what nobody uses.
Slow video calls and dropped Wi-Fi usually have a cause you can fix. We review your internet service, router, firewall, switches and wireless coverage. We note weak spots, old gear and anything that is set up in an unsafe way.
If you want a deeper, network-only review, that is a separate and more technical service. For most offices, the assessment gives enough detail to decide whether the network needs a small tune-up or a real upgrade.
We check how people sign in, who has admin rights and whether multi-factor sign-in is turned on. We look at email protection, antivirus, patching and what happens when an employee leaves. These are the gaps attackers use most.
You get a short list of the risks that matter, written plainly. We do not bury you in a hundred minor warnings. If a deeper formal review makes sense for your business, we say so and explain why.
Many businesses have backups they have never tested. We confirm what is backed up, how often, where the copies live and whether a restore really works. We also ask how long you could operate without your systems.
If the answer is that a single failure would stop work for days, the report says so and shows the cheapest sensible way to close the gap. Atlanta storms, theft and ransomware all end the same way without a good copy.
Findings only help if they lead somewhere. We turn the review into a ranked roadmap: fix now, fix this year, fix when convenient. Each item has a typical cost range and an estimate of effort.
You can carry out the plan with us, with your own IT person or with another provider. Many owners then use a part-time technology leader to keep the roadmap on track and tie it to business goals.
Lots of companies can fix a computer. These are the reasons Atlanta businesses give for choosing Stack Atlanta and sticking with us.
Our team knows which Midtown towers need paperwork before anyone enters the riser room, how summer storms affect power across the metro and how long it really takes to get from Downtown to Alpharetta at 5 p.m. That local knowledge turns into faster, calmer fixes.
Your network, devices and backups are watched day and night. Most problems are handled before anyone notices, and you get a plain explanation when something needs your decision.
A free assessment ends with a per-user quote listing every included service. No hourly surprises, no unexpected after-hours charges and no fine print about what counts as extra.
Every part of metro Atlanta has its own mix of buildings, networks and risks. We adjust the review to the kind of office you actually work in.
Downtown offices sit in older towers with shared risers and strict building access. Managed IT here means coordinating with property management, keeping remote access reliable for MARTA commuters and scheduling heavier work after hours.
Law firms, agencies and tech teams in Midtown run on fast Wi-Fi, video calls and secure file sharing. They need dependable networks in busy high-rises and tight access control for client data.
Wealth managers, insurance agencies and professional offices in Buckhead hold sensitive financial data. Managed IT keeps that data protected, backed up and documented for audits and insurers.
Creative studios and startups in converted buildings along the BeltLine grow quickly and work from anywhere. Managed IT keeps onboarding simple and separates guest Wi-Fi from the business network.
Design firms, showrooms and production companies in West Midtown move large files every day. They need strong networks, solid backups and workstations that keep up with demanding software.
Corporate offices and medical groups around the Perimeter often connect several locations. Managed IT monitors those links and gives every site the same help desk.
Fast-growing tech and fintech companies in Alpharetta add people every month. Managed IT makes every new hire’s laptop, accounts and access ready before the first day.
Regional offices near the Galleria and The Battery often support staff across the northwest suburbs. Managed IT keeps those offices connected and supported without long waits for a visit.
Not all reviews are equal. Here is how a full assessment compares with a quick vendor audit and with checking things yourself.
| Topic | Stack Atlanta | Free Vendor Sales Audit | DIY Internal Review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Neutral picture of your whole setup | Find reasons to sell you a product | Answer a few questions you already have |
| Scope | Devices, network, security, backups, software | Usually one product area | Whatever you know to look for |
| Written report | Yes, ranked & in plain English | Short summary, often a pitch deck | Rarely written down |
| Cost ranges for fixes | Included for each item | Only for their own products | Not available |
| Hidden risks found | Often, by a trained technician | Only those tied to what they sell | Easy to miss without tools |
| Time needed from you | A few short conversations | A call, then follow-up pressure | Many hours of your own time |
| Next step | Your choice of who does the work | Buy from them | Unclear, often postponed |
You finish with clear answers, a written report and a plan you can act on at your own pace.
Every device, license, account and service is listed in one place.
Security and backup gaps are explained in words you can act on.
Fixes are ordered by urgency, so you know what to do first.
Each recommendation comes with a typical price range and timeline.
The questions an assessment must answer differ by industry, so these related services often follow the review.
Client files, deadlines and confidentiality shape what we check and what we recommend.
Accounting FirmsTax season load, secure file sharing and strong access control come first.
Healthcare PracticesPatient data, older equipment and uptime needs guide the priorities.
Construction CompaniesJob sites, mobile devices and large plan files need a different look.
With our old provider, a broken laptop meant a ticket and a long wait. Now somebody picks up right away and most problems are gone before the call ends. The constant IT complaints in our office simply stopped.
We were worried about changing providers during our busiest season. The handover took about three weeks, email and files never stopped working and we received full documentation at the end.
Every repair used to come with its own invoice. Now it is one monthly amount, a short report and a conversation about upgrades before anything breaks. Budgeting for IT finally makes sense.
After the free assessment, you get a written quote with fixed prices, a clear scope and no pressure to sign anything.
It is a structured review of your computers, network, software, security and backups. A technician gathers facts, tests key areas and writes a report. The report explains what you have, what is risky and what to fix first, with typical costs.
Most small offices take a few days from first visit to written report. The hands-on review is often a day or less. Larger or multi-site companies take longer. We agree on timing up front so your staff are not disrupted.
Prices typically range from a few hundred dollars for a very small office to a few thousand for larger, multi-site businesses. Many providers offer a free first assessment. Ask what is included and whether the report is yours to keep.
Very little. Most of the work happens in the background with remote tools or short, scheduled visits. We can work early, late or on a quiet day. Staff may be asked a few questions about how they use their systems.
No. The report is yours, and you can use it with any provider or your own IT person. Many clients do continue with us because the plan is already built, but there is no obligation to do so.
A technology assessment covers the whole picture: devices, software, security, backups and planning. A network assessment goes deeper into internet, Wi-Fi, switches and firewalls only. Many businesses start with the broad review.
We ask for limited, read-only access where possible, such as to your admin consoles and device lists. A short on-site walkthrough helps too. We explain every request, and access ends when the assessment is finished.
Once a year is a good rhythm for most small and mid-sized businesses. Repeat sooner after a move, a merger, rapid hiring, a security incident or a big software change. Each review should be shorter than the first.
Yes. Insurers ask detailed questions about sign-in protection, backups and updates. The report gives you honest answers and shows which gaps to close first. It does not guarantee coverage, but it makes the form easier to complete.
Yes. We review each site and the links between them, whether you have offices Downtown, in Midtown, around the Perimeter or in Alpharetta. The report shows what is shared, what differs and where one site lags behind.
