Almost two thousand smaller businesses, across the country, are being offered an independent review of the information technology they use, to identify where any improvements can make their companies more profitable. The ‘Tech Check’ programme is a €2 million government initiative run by, the 35 City and County Enterprise Boards. A similar programme launched late last year saw almost 1,000 businesses sign up for a ‘Tech Check’ with some CEB regions reporting they were twice oversubscribed.

The ‘Tech Check’ costs only €150, which is a fraction of its commercial cost. It takes just one day for an independent consultant to analyse a company’s use of technology, from hardware to software, from cash registers to CRM software packages to phone systems, whatever the company is using. The consultant then produces a brief, confidential ‘no nonsense’ report highlighting the best options a business may take to improve profitability through better use of technology. The report’s integrity is guaranteed as the independent consultant makes recommendations but may not sell the businesses any solutions.
