We know how that sounds. But stay with us.
If you are a practice manager or operations lead at an architecture firm and something is not right with your IT — the slow responses, the recurring problems, the vague reassurances — you deserve a straight answer about what your options actually are.
Not a sales pitch. Not a list of reasons to choose us. A genuine, honest guide to what switching involves, what it costs, when it is worth it, and when it is not.
Including the bit where we tell you staying might be the right call.
The guide covers seven areas. Whether your frustration warrants a switch and how to tell the difference. What a transition actually involves, week by week, with no glossing over the difficult parts. The questions most people forget to ask a prospective new provider — including the one that reveals more than any other. How to evaluate providers without defaulting to price. The red flags that are easy to miss until it is too late. What a well-run transition looks like in practice. And what to do if you decide to stay.
