IT Services for Consulting Firms Your Consultants' Time Is the Product.
IT Problems Are the Cost.

Our IT services for consulting firms include: 24/7 proactive NOC monitoring and help desk with guaranteed under-15-minute response; full Microsoft 365 tenant administration (email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, security, backup); mobile device management for consultant laptops and mobile devices; secure VPN and remote access for consultants working at client sites; CRM and project management tool connectivity support (Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana, Monday.com, Smartsheet); client data security (endpoint encryption, email security, DLP, access controls); endpoint security and EDR; and on-site engineering across NJ, NY & CT — all under one flat monthly rate per user with no per-ticket charges.

We serve consulting firms across disciplines — management and strategy consulting, operations and process improvement consulting, IT and technology consulting, HR and organizational development consulting, financial and economic consulting, marketing and communications consulting, environmental and sustainability consulting, engineering and technical consulting (non-construction), executive search and talent consulting, and professional services firms of all types where the product is expert human time and intellectual output. Each has specific software preferences and workflow requirements; Gradius builds IT programs that work for the operational reality of the specific firm type.

Client-site consulting is the norm for many practices, and Gradius manages the IT infrastructure that makes it work. Secure VPN allows consultants to access firm systems, SharePoint document repositories, and internal tools from any client network without exposing firm data to client-side network risks. Mobile device management (MDM) ensures that consultant laptops have consistent security policies — encryption, screen lock, remote wipe capability — regardless of where they connect. The help desk SLA applies when the consultant calls from a client's conference room the same as when they call from the firm's office. For consultants whose primary device is a personal laptop, we can also configure BYOD policies that protect firm data without requiring a device replacement.

Client data protection for consulting firms operates at several layers. Access controls ensure that client deliverables and engagement files are accessible only to the consultants and staff assigned to that engagement — not the entire firm. Endpoint encryption protects client data if a consultant's laptop is lost or stolen at a client site or in transit. Email security and data loss prevention (DLP) monitor for unauthorized transmission of sensitive files. Encrypted cloud storage (SharePoint, OneDrive) replaces the unsecured local file storage and personal cloud accounts that create data leakage risk. And offboarding procedures ensure that departing consultants can't take client data or firm methodology documentation with them. Collectively, these controls protect client confidentiality as a professional standard, not just a compliance checkbox.

Most consulting firms are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. The onboarding includes auditing Microsoft 365 configuration and security, enrolling consultant devices in mobile device management, configuring VPN and remote access, implementing client data protection controls, and meeting with firm principals and operations management — structured around active engagement schedules so the onboarding doesn't create disruption during a critical client delivery window. For firms with consultants in the field during onboarding, device enrollment and configuration can be handled remotely so mobile staff are covered from day one.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Consulting firms stay with Gradius because IT stops being a source of billable-time loss, consultants can work from anywhere without IT friction, client data is protected, and the firm's professional reputation is never put at risk by a technology failure during a client engagement. We earn the renewal every month through performance — which is exactly the standard consulting firms hold themselves to with their own clients.
