LPSI IT CONSULTING:
the distinction between an IT consultant and an IT services professional is clear. “A consultant is the domain expert in a particular area/sector who knows WHAT features/functionalities to be added to a product or service.” A developer or other IT services expert “knows HOW to code the functionalities.”
​
At a high level, IT consultants provide guidance to customers on everything from overall IT strategy – including what to house in the data center versus in the cloud; to the type of technology and functionality needed within the context of the customer’s IT and business environments and goals – such as process automation or mobile security.

“Consulting is more than advising,” suggests José Franco, in his Spiceworks article, The Five Fundamentals of IT Consulting, “it is assisting clients to reach a goal” and “preparing the client for the real-world issues of implementation and system operation.”
In some cases, Franco says, customers not only want the consultants to recommend solutions, they want the consultants to help implement them. This is where the distinction between IT consulting and IT services begins to blur.

Our Services
Cloud Solutions
Cloud Services provide all or parts of an organization’s IT infrastructure in a fully managed and hosted environment accessed remotely via a secure internet connection. Rather than purchasing and maintaining the systems and software necessary to run a business on-site, this technology is made available in a “Cloud” of online resources. This allows companies to remotely store and access their data and supporting systems safely and securely – saving time, space and expense.
