Get the right solution first time
The wrong IT system costs time, money and security: outages, data leaks and viruses. You get advice, an IT strategy and help all the way into operations, independent and in plain language.
In short
IT advisory at MI Support IT is independent sparring on how your business gets the most out of its IT: strategy, cloud, security, Microsoft 365, budget and vendor selection.
An IT consultant translates technology into business terms, so management can make decisions on an informed basis instead of gut feeling and vendor presentations. The advisory work ranges from single workshops and second opinions to ongoing strategic IT advisory, where we act as your part-time IT management.
Customers are businesses from 5 to 150+ employees, and the recommendations build on more than 25 years of hands-on operations experience, not theoretical reports. The result is typically a concrete IT strategy with a prioritised roadmap, a realistic budget and clear choices: what should you own, what belongs in the cloud, and what should a partner run?
Advisory is billed by time spent or as a single quote, and the first meeting costs nothing. The engagement can stand alone or flow directly into implementation and operations.
Advisory areas
IT advisory covers a lot. You choose what the advice should be about, and how deep we go.
IT advisory covers many areas, from security and cloud to networking and hardware. The advice starts from your needs, so it creates value for your business and not for a report.
Strategic IT advisory
What does strategic IT advisory cover? Five areas, and what you concretely get from each.
The advice is about making technology, finances and business fit together. The result is not a report for the drawer, but a decision basis you can act on right away. The table shows the areas we advise on most often, and what you concretely get out of it.
| Advisory area | Your outcome |
|---|---|
| IT strategy and roadmap | A prioritised plan for the next 1-3 years that matches your business goals and budget. |
| Cloud and infrastructure | Clarity on what belongs in the cloud, what stays on-prem, and what the move requires. |
| IT security and compliance | An overview of risks and requirements such as NIS2 and GDPR, translated into concrete, prioritised actions. |
| Microsoft 365 and licences | Lower licence spend and a platform that gets used instead of just paid for. |
| IT budget and vendor management | A realistic budget and sharper agreements with the vendors you already have. |

Typical situations
Four situations where advice pays off. Growth, cloud migration, new requirements and a Microsoft 365 platform that drifts.
IT advisory is rarely bought for fun. The need typically arises when the company is at a crossroads and the wrong choices get expensive.
Growth and scaling
The company has grown from 10 to 40 employees, and the IT that was fine for the first ten is creaking. You get a plan that can grow with you.
Moving to the cloud
The server in the basement is nearing retirement and everyone talks about cloud. We do the maths on what actually pays off and plan the move.
NIS2 and compliance
New requirements from authorities, customers or insurers hit your industry. The requirements are translated into a concrete action plan in the right order.
Microsoft 365 clean-up
You pay for licences nobody uses while Teams and SharePoint drift. We clean up licences, structure and security on the platform.
If IT security has become a board-level topic, the free e-book The executive's guide to IT security is a good place to start before we talk.
Trust
Trust is a precondition. You let us into your IT engine room, and that comes with obligations.
Professional IT advisory gives you an overview of where money can be saved and where security needs lifting. But it takes trust to let others into your IT engine room.
If you choose advice from us, you get a specialist who fits the job. We get to know the systems you already have before we recommend anything.
Without trust there is no partnership.
From first meeting to finished plan. Four fixed steps, and you know in advance what each step delivers.
An advisory engagement is a fixed process with known deliverables, not an open-ended pile of hours. You know the frame before the work begins.
Book a meeting- 1
Discovery
Key people are interviewed, and environment, agreements and costs are reviewed, so the recommendations are based on reality, not assumptions.
- 2
Analysis
Technology, security and finances are assessed against your business goals, so effort goes where the impact is biggest.
- 3
Recommendation and roadmap
You get a decision basis in plain language: prioritised recommendations, a budget frame and a roadmap management can approve.
- 4
Execution and follow-up
The plan can be implemented together with you, with follow-up to make sure the gains are actually realised.
If you also need to choose a permanent operations partner, we have gathered the advice in our article on choosing the right IT partner.
IT strategy
Help with your IT strategy. From a plan at management level to the equipment employees use every day.
Planning to change your IT setup to reach business goals, KPIs and growth? Our consultants help, whether the plan is ready and needs execution, or you doubt it will hold five years from now.
The specialist background means we can advise, adjust and execute on your plan, from major IT decisions at management level to the equipment employees use every day.
Consulting with certification behind it. Six ways the advice can take shape.
Experienced, certified consultants who have worked with Danish businesses of every size are behind the advice.
Strategy workshops
Goals, status and opportunities are mapped in a facilitated workshop.
Roadmap & prioritisation
A concrete plan with phases, costs and milestones.
Sparring along the way
The sparring continues into implementation, not just on paper.
Cloud strategy
Hybrid, multi-cloud or migration: the advice is independent.
Security & compliance
GDPR, NIS2 and industry-specific requirements built in.
Certified specialists
Experience from Danish businesses of every size.
IT implementation
From plan to operations. Implementation follows a fixed process, so the solution works in everyday use.
A new solution should remove manual steps from your workflows, not add new ones. That is why we take you through the full process, from planning to execution, and make sure the solution works in daily operations. You decide how much we adapt, so you can focus on what you do best.
Why specialists for implementation. Faster to the finish, systems that can grow, and fewer security mistakes.
Fast and effective
Specialists have done it before and often implement a new system faster than an internal team can alongside daily operations.
Can grow with you
Systems are set up so they are easy to dial up and down when your headcount changes.
Lower breach risk
Implementation requires handling sensitive data. Specialists know the requirements and work to them from day one.
Four phases from plan to operations. Milestones and deliverables are known in advance, and risks are handled early.
Each phase has a clear deliverable, so you know what is done and what remains.
1. Plan & design
Requirements, architecture and detailed plan.
2. Build & test
Setup, testing and documentation.
3. Go-live
Migration with the least possible impact on operations.
4. Hypercare & operations
Close follow-up after go-live.
IT system
Security and coherence are the foundation. The advice covers hardware, networking, hosting, backup and cloud.
Without security and interplay between your digital solutions, it is hard to run a healthy business. That is why we advise on everything from hardware and networking to hosting, backup and cloud solutions, so the parts fit together.
Pricing
What does IT advisory cost? Time spent, a fixed part of an operations agreement or a single quote up front.

See the general pricing model on the pricing page, and read our article on the IT budget as an investment if you want the arguments ready before the budget needs defending. If the advisory concludes that operations should be lifted by a partner, the engagement flows directly into IT outsourcing without starting over.
