What IT Consulting Covers

More Than a Technician. An IT Partner.

Most IT problems have a deeper cause — a technology environment that grew without a plan, vendors that weren't evaluated properly, or security gaps nobody documented. IT consulting addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

LineSight Digital provides IT consulting services for San Jose small businesses, medical and dental practices, law firms, and growth-stage startups. Engagements range from a single IT assessment to an ongoing fractional CTO relationship — scoped to what you actually need.

Six Ways We Help San Jose Businesses

📋

IT Assessment & Audit

A complete review of your environment — security, backups, access controls, and infrastructure — delivered as a written report with actionable findings.

🗺

Technology Roadmap

A 12-month plan for your IT environment — what to fix first, what to budget for, and how to move from reactive firefighting to a stable, documented infrastructure.

🧑‍💻

Fractional CTO

Ongoing strategic IT leadership for companies that don't need a full-time CTO but do need someone making the right technology decisions as the business grows.

👥

Vendor Management

Evaluating, selecting, and managing IT vendors — ISPs, software providers, hardware suppliers — so you're not locked into bad contracts or paying for redundant tools.

🏢

New Office & Relocation Setup

Network design, cabling coordination, equipment procurement, and configuration for new San Jose offices — done before move-in day, not after.

Who This Is For

IT Consulting for San Jose Businesses

🚀

Startups & Growth-Stage Companies

You've outgrown the ad-hoc IT setup from year one. You need a real infrastructure plan, proper M365 configuration, and someone to own the technology decisions as headcount scales.

🏥

Medical & Dental Practices

HIPAA compliance requires more than good intentions. An IT assessment identifies the specific gaps in your environment — access controls, backup encryption, EHR configuration — before an auditor does.

⚖️

Law Firms & Professional Services

Client confidentiality depends on your IT environment being configured correctly. We assess your security posture, identify exposure points, and give you a written plan to close them.

📈

Companies Preparing for Audit or Compliance

SOC 2, CMMC, HIPAA, or just an internal security review — we prepare your IT environment so auditors find clean documentation and proper controls, not findings and remediation items.

🕐

Businesses Evaluating In-House IT vs. Outsourcing

We'll give you an honest answer. Sometimes a part-time internal hire makes sense. Sometimes managed IT is more cost-effective. We'll walk you through the numbers and trade-offs without a vested interest in one outcome.

🏠

Companies Planning a Move or Expansion

New office IT — network design, ISP procurement, cabling, hardware, and configuration — is one of the most commonly under-planned parts of a relocation. We've done it enough times to know what gets missed.

FAQ

Common Questions About IT Consulting

What's the difference between IT consulting and managed IT?

Managed IT is ongoing — monitoring, helpdesk, patch management, proactive support for a monthly fee. IT consulting is typically project-based — assessments, roadmaps, migrations, or fractional CTO work. Many clients start with consulting and move to managed IT once we know their environment.

How much does IT consulting cost in San Jose?

Project work is quoted flat-rate after a scoping conversation. Hourly consulting runs $95–$150/hr depending on the engagement. IT assessments have a fixed price based on company size. Fractional CTO retainers are scoped monthly. Pricing is posted on our website — no guessing required.

Do I need a full-time IT hire or can consulting cover it?

For most San Jose small businesses under 30 employees, a combination of fractional consulting and managed IT covers more ground than a single junior hire — at a lower total cost and with broader expertise. We'll tell you honestly when a full-time hire makes more sense than outsourcing.

What does a typical IT assessment involve?

We review your Microsoft 365 configuration, backup status, network setup, user access controls, and security posture. You receive a written report with specific findings, risk ratings, and a prioritized action list. Most assessments for small businesses take 2–4 hours and are delivered within a week.
