Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IT consulting and managed IT services?
IT consulting provides strategic guidance on technology decisions, architecture, and planning. Managed IT services handle day-to-day operations like help desk, monitoring, and maintenance. Many organizations use both.
How much does IT consulting cost?
Consulting engagements range from one-time assessments starting at $5,000 to ongoing advisory retainers. Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and duration. We provide detailed proposals after an initial discovery call.
Do you also implement the recommendations?
Yes. Unlike pure advisory firms, Petronella has a full technical team that can implement every recommendation we make, from cloud migrations to security controls to compliance programs.
How long does a typical consulting engagement take?
Initial assessments take 2-4 weeks. Strategic roadmap development takes 4-6 weeks. Many clients transition to ongoing quarterly advisory after the initial engagement.
Can you help with AI adoption?
Yes. We evaluate where AI and automation can improve your operations while maintaining security and compliance. We specialize in secure AI deployment for regulated industries.
