Training courses

Minimal IT provides training courses to help businesses explore and apply alternative, low-cost, approaches to IT.

  • A two-day Managing with IT - attitudes and approaches workshop. Aimed at both business managers and IT specialists, this workshop explores attitudes to IT, and provides the participants with a broader range of options from which to choose the most effective use of IT.
  • A one-day Minimal integration workshop. Aimed at IT specialists and based on 15 years industry experience, this course combines Minimal IT's unique low-cost approach with world-class practical advice on systems integration.

We are happy to tailor these courses to customer's requirements, and to develop courses which apply the Minimal IT approach to other aspects of IT.

Please contact us to find out more about our training and discuss how it can meet your needs.

Consultancy

Minimal IT's can bring its cost reduction insight to any IT decision-making process, such as:

  • IT strategy
  • Project definition
  • Product selection
  • Analysis and design approaches
  • Systems architecture
  • Systems integration
  • Technical problem solving

We specialise in situations where IT is difficult, expensive or uncertain.

We are complementary to mainstream consultancies. We can provide an expert, independent and impartial critique of proposals. We can often propose simpler, smaller, cheaper alternatives.

Because we offer a unique viewpoint, we understand that customers may be unsure where we can help. To address this, we offer:

  • Free initial consultations, at your site, and without obligation, to understand your situation.
  • An honest appraisal of your situation and whether we can add value.
  • Where we can add value, proposals for fixed-price short-term assignments, not open-ended contracts.

Please contact us to find out more about our consultancy services and discuss how they can meet your needs.
