A technology assessment creates a reliable current-state view before a major purchase, migration, provider change, or security initiative. The result is a prioritized plan—not a list of products looking for a problem.
Assessment areas
Business and users
Goals, workflows, locations, growth, support experience, critical functions, and upcoming changes.
Infrastructure
Internet, firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, racks, power, cabling, servers, endpoints, and lifecycle.
Cloud and applications
Microsoft 365, identity, files, collaboration, line-of-business systems, licensing, and administration.
Cybersecurity
Identity, endpoints, email, remote access, segmentation, backups, policies, users, and vendors.
Continuity
Critical services, backups, recovery, internet failover, power, communication, and responsible owners.
Operations and governance
Support model, vendors, documentation, credentials, procurement, budgets, projects, and accountability.
Typical deliverables
- Executive summary in plain language
- Current-state findings and important dependencies
- Risk and issue register
- Immediate corrective actions
- Prioritized recommendations by timeframe
- Technology refresh and lifecycle view
- Project sequence and major prerequisites
- Budget ranges and recurring-cost considerations
- Vendor and ownership recommendations
- 12- to 36-month roadmap options
- Defined next steps and decision points
The assessment is useful even when no project follows.
You should leave with clearer ownership, better documentation, and a practical sequence for decisions. Recommendations can be implemented internally, by Kennedy IT Solutions, by another provider, or through a coordinated combination.
Start with the current state.
Tell us what prompted the review and what decisions leadership needs to make. We will shape the assessment around those questions.
