IT Management
IT Management is the monitoring and administration of your organization’s information technology systems: software, hardware, and networks. Some common pain points when it comes to IT Management are:
- Worrying about or experiencing cybersecurity problems such as ransomware, bot traffic, and phishing emails.
- Difficulty executing or moving forward on large information management projects as a result of budgetary constraints, not finding the right talent, or getting decision-makers aligned.
- Having regulatory or compliance requirements that must be in place to protect internal and/or customer data and you are unsure if you are compliant or failed a recent audit.

“We used 5P Consulting to advise on and customize a Salesforce platform, integrate our contact information and associated data and provide software training. We were hesitant because, as a nonprofit, we had not hired outside consulting firms for business integration as that is a non-programmatic “spend”. However, 5P Consulting was worth every dime! They provided their services cost-effectively, professionally and really listened to what we wanted in order to deliver the accurate end product. They were particularly great about follow-up, wrapping up more quickly than I expected what could have been a long and tedious project.”
