Technology consulting is an end-to-end service - ranging from designing or developing technology, to implementing and managing systems or processes on a client's behalf. Typically, a client will commission the services of a consulting firm to help plan and develop a new IT system or to examine the risks of an existing system.

As technology becomes an increasingly important part of the way modern world businesses operate, so too is technology consulting taking on increased importance in supporting businesses and organisations to use technology effectively. In particular, technology is being used to allow organisations to become more efficient, smarter and more profitable.
