Why Choose Autimo for IT Consulting

We understand the unique needs of law firms, financial advisors, accountants, consultants, and other professional services. Your workflows, compliance requirements, and business models are fundamentally different from retail or manufacturing—we specialize in exactly what you do.

Our recommendations are based on your needs, not vendor partnerships or sales quotas. We evaluate solutions objectively and negotiate on your behalf. Technology for technology's sake doesn't interest us - every recommendation ties back to business outcomes: cost reduction, risk mitigation, competitive advantage, or enabling growth.

We've executed hundreds of technology projects for professional services firms. Our frameworks, checklists, and best practices ensure efficient delivery and minimize risk. For firms requiring data residency in Canada, we have deep expertise in Canadian cloud regions, local vendors, and compliance requirements.

Engagement Models

We tailor our consulting approach to match your needs:

Project-Based Consulting: Fixed-scope projects with defined deliverables, timelines, and budgets. Ideal for migrations, assessments, or specific strategic initiatives.

Assessment Engagements: Focused evaluations that deliver actionable recommendations. Common assessments include security reviews, cloud readiness, network design, and technology stack optimization.

Strategic Planning Sessions: Facilitated workshops with your leadership team to develop technology roadmaps, prioritize initiatives, and align IT strategy with business goals.

Retainer Consulting: Ongoing advisory relationship with monthly hours for continuous strategic guidance. This provides flexibility for firms with regular strategic needs without the commitment of a full vCIO engagement.

Due Diligence & Special Projects: Time-sensitive projects requiring rapid assessment and clear recommendations, such as M&A due diligence, crisis response, or compliance deadline initiatives.
