# IT consulting and projects for Seattle businesses.

Plan and deliver Microsoft 365 changes, network upgrades, cloud migrations, security work, and office moves with local technical support across Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, and the South Sound.

## What this service is

IT consulting connects a business goal to a scoped technical change: assess the current environment, map dependencies, agree on decisions and owners, implement, test, and document the result.

## Who it is for

For businesses that need experienced engineering capacity for a defined project, a second technical perspective, or focused help alongside an internal IT team.

## Bring the project that needs a clear technical path.

Start with the change, deadline, systems, and people involved. ArcTechOne can help define the work and the decisions that need an owner before implementation.

### A Microsoft 365 environment is changing

Plan tenant, identity, device, mail, file, Teams, and user changes with testing and a cutover path matched to the organization.

## Problems ArcTechOne helps with

- A migration or upgrade has dependencies spread across teams and vendors.
- A network, firewall, or Wi-Fi project needs a tested design and an accountable implementation path.
- An office move, acquisition, or new location has a fixed date and uncertain technology requirements.
- An internal IT owner needs experienced project capacity without handing over business decisions.

## How the work is handled

### Step 1: Define the outcome and constraints

Review the business goal, users, systems, vendors, risks, decision owners, budget factors, and the date the change needs to support.

### Step 2: Scope dependencies and implementation

Document what is included, what requires a vendor or business decision, the sequence of work, and how success will be checked.

### Step 3: Test, hand off, and document

Validate the affected workflows, record what changed, and leave the business or internal IT owner with usable operating notes and follow-up items.

## Frequently asked questions

### What IT projects can ArcTechOne consult on?

Projects can include Microsoft 365 migrations, Entra and Intune work, network and firewall upgrades, Wi-Fi, server and cloud changes, backup and recovery planning, security improvements, office moves, Teams Voice, AI implementation, and co-managed engineering.

### Can you work alongside our internal IT team?

Yes. ArcTechOne can provide a defined project role, engineering depth, implementation capacity, or review while your internal owner retains business context and decision authority.

### How are consulting projects priced?

Labor starts at $150 per hour for scoped work. ArcTechOne confirms the applicable labor, project boundaries, third-party costs, and dependencies before work begins.

### Do IT consulting projects require a long-term contract?

No long-term managed IT contract is required for every engagement. A focused project can be scoped independently, with any recurring service or third-party costs identified separately.

### Do you provide compliance certification or legal advice?

No. ArcTechOne can help with technical implementation and evidence preparation within an agreed scope, but does not provide legal advice or compliance certification.
