Technology decisions are easiest to get right when you have a clear picture of what the business has in place. Knowing what systems you rely on, how they are linked, and where they are becoming obsolete helps you avoid buying equipment, moving offices, or changing how you store data.
That’s what IT consultancy provides. An IT consultant will review your current setup, talk through what the business needs from technology, and help you rank priorities for improvement. This isn’t like day-to-day IT support where things get fixed when they break. Consultancy is about the cause and the plan; support is about the fault.
Since 2002, Point Solutions has been delivering IT solutions to businesses in the UAE. Our consultancy has been derived from practical work on infrastructure, data storage, backup, and recovery, so recommendations are based on the practical performance of these systems. We are aligned on scope and do not commit to outcomes until we understand the environment.

An IT consultancy is advice and planning based on a proper review of your technology. Depending on the scope agreed with Point Solutions, it may include:
Consultancy is different from IT support. Faults and day-to-day requests are handled by IT support. Consultancy pulls back. What should your environment look like? Where should you start changing? In many cases, the two go hand-in-hand: consultancy can set the direction, while our support and IT infrastructure services can help execute it.
Our IT Consultancy Services in Dubai, UAE & Across GCC
First, we understand your business and its dependencies; then we look at the systems that support them. The idea is to have a common understanding of where you are and what’s most important before anything is suggested.
Consulting areas include:
New Office IT Planning
Getting IT right is easiest at the start of a new or changing office. We talk through what infrastructure the office will need, like the number of people, the power supply, and the size of the office. Implementation is through our IT infrastructure services in Dubai, as agreed.
Consulting areas include:
We have experience in infrastructure, including cabling, networks, Wi-Fi, firewalls, telephony, and security systems, including work enhancing and managing an existing business center network. We bring that experience to bear in reviews of how your infrastructure is configured, and where it may need to change.
Consulting areas include:
We also do security and backup audits. Our security services include firewall and endpoint security. An agreed assessment can consider how these are configured in your environment. This is a practical test of your arrangements, not a formal compliance check.
Consulting areas include:
IT Project and Implementation Advisory
The requirements were not clear at the beginning, and this leads many IT projects to fail. We consult from assessment through design, implementation, and follow-up after the project so the plan and the delivery stay connected.
Consulting areas include:
IT Planning and Technology Recommendations
Once the picture is clear, the question is what to do and in what order. We help you look at the right options for your needs, so upgrades and purchases are part of a plan, not a reaction to the most recent failure.
Consulting areas include:
Point Solutions has implemented IT solutions in multiple vertical markets, and our project work includes education and commercial facilities. Whatever your sector, consultancy starts with your needs.

An IT consultant will look at your current technology, discuss what the business needs from it, advise on options, and help you plan the next steps. More informed decisions will be made about infrastructure, upgrades, and projects.
Dubai companies often hire, establish offices, or relocate, and IT decisions made in haste can be difficult to undo. With consultancy, you’ll know exactly what you’ve got and what you need before you sign up.
The scope is agreed with you and is dependent on your environment. This can involve reviewing infrastructure, understanding requirements, advising on options and upgrades, supporting IT planning and project decisions, and documenting requirements and recommendations where that is part of the scope.
IT support handles faults and day-to-day requests. IT consultants take a look at the bigger picture and help you decide what needs to be improved and in what order. Many companies use both.
“Yes. We can audit the relevant areas of your existing infrastructure within an agreed scope. We’re experienced at improving and running an existing network at IDS Business Center.
Yup. We can review what you have, talk through your needs, and help you decide what to upgrade, keep, or replace, and in what order.
