Technology Advisory

Strategic advisory that delivers measurable savings.

Home/Advisory
Technology Advisory

The vendor knowledge most businesses don't have in-house.

We bring deep vendor relationships and market intelligence to the table — no obligation to change anything, no industry jargon. A straightforward conversation about where your technology spend is working and where it isn't.

How we work.

Most businesses are paying more for technology than they need to — not through any fault of their own, but simply because the vendor landscape is complex and pricing is rarely transparent. We work alongside you to change that, at whatever level of involvement makes sense for your organisation.

Engagement models

Three ways to get started.

01 / Complimentary

Expenditure Audit.

We review your IT spend across the past one to two years and return a clear picture of where savings exist — hardware, software, licensing, cloud and vendor contracts. No charge, no expectation of anything further.

  • Analysis of 12–24 months of IT expenditure
  • Identified savings opportunities across all categories
  • Delivered as a plain-English summary, not a slide deck
  • No cost. No commitment.
Request your audit
02 / One-Off Engagement

Technology Strategy Session.

A thorough review of your full technology environment — hardware, software, security posture and infrastructure — resulting in a prioritised roadmap with vendor-neutral recommendations and transparent market pricing.

  • Full review of hardware, software, security and infrastructure
  • Prioritised roadmap with implementation timelines
  • Recommendations free of vendor bias
  • Transparent market pricing for every recommendation

03 / Ongoing Partnership

Retained Advisory.

A standing engagement where we act as your technology procurement partner — guiding spend decisions, managing vendor negotiations and identifying efficiencies continuously. If the savings we generate don't exceed our fees, we refund the difference.

  • Continuous guidance on procurement and vendor strategy
  • Active management of contract renewals and negotiations
  • Monthly reporting on expenditure and savings achieved
  • Savings guarantee — we refund if costs exceed value delivered
Discuss a partnership

Worth a thirty-minute conversation.

If you're open to it, we'd welcome the opportunity to sit down — this week or next — and walk through what we're observing in your sector. No preparation required.

About Longo IT

We exist to make your IT spend work harder.

Home/About
About Longo IT

We exist to make your IT spend work harder.

Longo IT is an Australian-owned technology advisory and managed services practice based in Melbourne. We were built on one principle: every dollar any business spends on technology — large or small — should be justified and delivering measurable return.

Executive environment
An outcome-aligned practice — if we do not deliver measurable savings, we do not charge an advisory fee.

Longo IT was built for businesses that want better outcomes from their technology spend — whether that's a 10-person firm or a 500-person organisation. Businesses of every size were paying above-market rates simply because they lacked the vendor relationships and market intelligence to know otherwise. We fix that.

Our practice covers technology advisory, hardware and software procurement, cyber security, infrastructure and managed IT. We look at your technology environment as a whole — not as isolated products — and find the opportunities that point-solution providers miss.

We hold direct accredited partnerships with HP, Dell, HPE, Lenovo, NetApp, Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point and HP Aruba — giving every client access to commercial terms and technical resources that would otherwise require significant internal investment to secure.

Our managed IT and cyber security practice runs a 24/7 service desk from Melbourne and Sydney, with a security program aligned to the ASD Essential Eight maturity model.

Outcome-aligned advisory model

Advisory fees are contingent on delivering measurable savings. If we do not reduce your technology expenditure, you are not charged for advisory services.

Flexible service agreements

Managed IT and security service agreements operate on a month-to-month basis following initial onboarding. We retain clients through consistent service delivery.

National operations

Headquartered in Melbourne with a Sydney practice and national managed service capability across Australia's major metropolitan centres.

Essential Eight security alignment

All managed IT clients receive a security program aligned to the ASD Essential Eight maturity model, with regular executive reporting.
