What we deliver for professional services firms
- Managed IT shaped to the rhythm of professional services work — financial year planning, busy-season cover, deadline-sensitive support
- Microsoft 365 designed for client-matter confidentiality, including Entra ID conditional access, MFA, sensitivity labels and SharePoint document structures that match how the firm actually works
- Structured cabling for new offices and fit-outs, with documentation that survives the next refit
- Network infrastructure tuned for Teams Phone, document workflows and hybrid working
- Access control tied to Microsoft Entra ID, so onboarding and offboarding move in one administrative step
- CCTV for office premises where after-hours review is needed
Why it matters
Professional services firms in the 50 to 200 staff range hit two recurring technology problems: client data confidentiality that needs to hold up to regulator review, and growth that outpaces the IT arrangement put in place when the firm was half its current size. The technology stack that worked at 30 staff stops working at 80 — Microsoft 365 sprawl, ad-hoc cabling layered over years of office moves, access control that still authorises ex-staff. A consolidated technology partner who can plan against the firm's actual growth trajectory closes both gaps at once.
How we work with professional services firms
Most professional services engagements at Alexis IT start with an IT Roadmap conversation — a structured planning process that produces a written 12 to 24 month plan, reviewed quarterly. The Roadmap covers Microsoft 365 maturity, identity policy, cabling and network capacity, the security stack and (where relevant) the move toward integrated door access. Because Alexis IT also installs the cabling, network, electrical and security infrastructure, the same team that plans the technology delivers it on the ground — no separate vendor handoffs at the boundary between IT and physical infrastructure.
Outcomes
- One accountable team across IT, cabling, network, electrical and security
- A written technology plan aligned to the firm's actual financial and operational rhythm
- Microsoft 365 environment that holds up to a compliance review
- Onboarding and offboarding that finishes the day it's actioned, with audit trail
