FAQs
I already have an IT support company, why Parallel?
Having a trustworthy IT support company is essential for any business. If you already have one, that's great! At Parallel, we collaborate with your existing IT support team to get a better understanding of the technology you use, identify any problems that have been reported by your employees and determine what works well and what doesn't. This is all part of the partnership we build with your business to ensure that we provide you with the best possible service.
How do you charge?
We offer two models to our clients. If you have a one-off project, we can assist you accordingly. Alternatively, if you need our services on a long-term basis, we can partner with you under a retainer agreement. Most of our clients prefer the retainer option, which is valid for 12 months and tailored to the size of your business. This model ensures that you have access to our services whenever you need them and can be scaled up as per your requirements.

Many companies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry face the challenge of using complicated, time-consuming, and manual procedures to complete their projects from start to finish. As industry standards, such as ISO 19650, are becoming increasingly important to both clients and best practices, it is crucial for AEC firms to adopt and utilise technology in a meaningful way.

Data breaches and cyber incidents are happening more frequently than ever, as we see in news reports on a daily basis. As a business owner, protecting the data within your organisation is crucial. Data security is not just limited to the files on your computer, but also includes physical documents stored in cabinets and folders. By implementing even the most basic security measures, you can significantly reduce the chances of a data breach or minimize its impact. Information security is an ongoing process that requires a roadmap for continual improvement to ensure its effectiveness.

Investing solely in digital technology solutions is not the key to creating a successful digital environment. Whether your objective is automation, cyber security, or resource optimisation, you won't achieve the maximum return on your investment without enabling your employees and providing accessible and relatable training. If you're looking for tailored training to help your people get the most out of your technology, don't hesitate to reach out to us to see how we can assist you.
