An IT assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your technology systems, processes, and infrastructure. It helps businesses understand their current IT capabilities, identify vulnerabilities, and develop strategies for improvement. Whether your focus is on cloud migration, security, or overall IT strategy, these assessments provide a detailed roadmap for enhancing your organization’s technology environment.
At Candor, we offer several types of assessments designed to address different aspects of your IT infrastructure. Here’s a closer look at what we provide and what you can expect.
