Koombea: Your Dedicated Startup IT Consulting Partner
Koombea is a great technology partner for your startup because we are much more than a startup business consulting firm. Yes, we proudly offer startup consulting services. However, we also excel at custom software development, design, and other technology services.
Startup companies can benefit from our IT consulting services. Our consulting services are built upon our decade-plus of software development and technology experience. At Koombea, we offer a far more holistic approach to IT consulting. Many startup consulting services will offer an opinion on which technologies and tools are best without getting to fully understand your business, industry, and target market.
At Koombea, we ensure that the IT strategy employed for your startup business is tailored to meet the unique needs of your business operations. We are here to be your startup company’s full-service digital partner. Our experienced team will ensure that your startup gets the most out of emerging technologies, has an optimized IT infrastructure, and is set up for future growth.
We’ll help you do more than plan your startup’s IT strategy and infrastructure. Koombea will help you implement and maintain your technology solutions as well. You won’t find a more dedicated technology partner for your startup business. Startup companies are in a precarious position. Many of them will fail before they can truly test their product or service on the open market.
Simplify the startup development process and focus on the core competencies of your business by trusting an experienced technology partner like Koombea with your IT strategy and infrastructure.
The Benefits of IT Consulting Services for Startup Companies
Startup companies have far less margin for error than established businesses. As a result, startups often operate on thin or nonexistent margins, and they cannot afford to make costly IT mistakes or spend unnecessary resources on technology solutions that do not positively impact business operations.
The value of digital transformation should not be underestimated. However, most startups simply do not have the time or resources to devote to staying informed on the best technologies, tools, and practices. As a result, most startups struggle to design, implement, and maintain an IT infrastructure that doesn’t hamper operations and aligns with the goals of their business.
The primary benefits of IT consulting services for startups are:
The Time to Focus on Core Competencies
One thing entrepreneurs can always use more of is time. Running a startup business is far more than a full-time job. Entrepreneurs need every moment they have to focus on the core competencies of their new business. Therefore, the greatest benefit of IT consulting services for startup businesses is the time it affords entrepreneurs and their team to focus on business operations and core competencies.
The odds are good your startup doesn’t have IT experts on staff. As a result, you and your team shouldn’t be spending precious time troubleshooting technical issues. Not only will this distract you and your teams from the key roles and responsibilities of running a startup, but it will also likely lead to frustration, leading to additional errors that require more money and time to fix. Ultimately, distraction and frustration kill productivity and momentum.
Koombea is here to provide information technology services for startup companies. We have an experienced team of IT experts ready to help your company design, implement, and maintain an effective IT infrastructure designed to meet the demands of your startup. So don’t waste precious time and effort on troubleshooting and maintaining your startup’s IT infrastructure. Koombea is here to give everyone in your startup, from top to bottom, the time and resources necessary to focus on the tasks that matter most to your business.
Improved Productivity Levels
Startups can increase productivity levels by utilizing IT consulting services. Of course, consulting services take the extra technology workload off the shoulders of the entire startup, but these services can help startup companies increase productivity in additional ways as well. When your startup works with an experienced and dedicated startup consulting partner like Koombea, you will discover additional ways your startup can use technology to increase the efficiency of your team and operations.
There are several different tools and technologies available that can make your startup processes more efficient, which in turn will make your employees more productive as well. Chances are good that your startup doesn’t have the time or experience to find and implement these technologies on its own. At Koombea, our team of experienced startup consultants will help your company identify, implement, and manage these complex technologies so that your startup can realize the full potential these powerful tools have to offer.
Do you want to gain a competitive edge over your direct competitors? By utilizing the capabilities of the latest technologies, you can gain a significant advantage in the market and make your business operations more efficient too. Koombea is here to be your technology partner. Don’t go it alone when you can have an experienced technology partner on your side to help your startup avoid common and complex technology pitfalls.
Stronger Security Measures
Cybersecurity should never be taken lightly, no matter how big or small your business is. The truth is no business is too large or too small to be impervious to a cyberattack. Is your startup taking security as seriously as it should? Are you able to implement the appropriate security measures on your own? IT consulting services are valuable to startups because they not only help them improve their security measures but also help startups identify current and potential vulnerabilities, create robust security protocols, and design contingency plans for disaster recovery.
Your startup should not be lax when it comes to the security of its IT infrastructure. Any device and any user could be a potential entry point into your system for motivated cyber attackers. In addition to creating a more secure technology infrastructure for your startup, IT consulting services can also help train your employees in security best practices. If your entire startup is more aware of security threats and mindful of the way users interact with the network and technology, you can reduce the threat posed by a cyber attack.
Cyber attackers are getting more resourceful, dedicated, and clever every day. Threats are constantly evolving, and if your startup is not actively staying on top of security measures, your business could be an easy target. Koombea’s security experts can ensure your startup is doing everything possible to secure its network and technology infrastructure. The effects of a security breach can have lasting reputational damage. Make sure your startup takes security seriously.
An Outside Perspective
Even in the innovative space of being a startup, it is very easy to get stuck in habits and patterns. One of the great benefits of IT consulting services that doesn’t get enough attention is the outside perspective it brings. Additional perspectives are valuable for any business, but it is especially valuable to startups that might have less experience and insight. The value of a startup consultant is that they bring experience and new insight to your company. For example, an IT consultant might find ways to make your business processes more efficient based on their experiences working on similar technology projects.
At Koombea, one of our greatest strengths is the time we take to get to know our partner’s business inside and out. We believe that to deliver the best recommendations and technology solutions, we have to understand your business operations, market, industry, competition, and goals. Our team takes the time to understand your startup and what drives your business so that we can make recommendations and implement IT solutions that truly impact your startup.
If you want to get the most out of startup business consulting services, look for a company that will give you their undivided attention and treat you like a partner. Don’t underestimate the value of an outside perspective from a trusted, experienced source.
Our IT Consulting Services for Startups
IT consulting services are a broad service category, which can make finding a provider that truly fits your needs more difficult. There are several different types of services that fall under IT consulting. Almost anything technology-related can fall under the umbrella of IT consulting services. At Koombea, we are here to assist your startup with any technology-related question, project, or issue it is experiencing. However, we do like to highlight a few of the consulting services most likely to impact startups:
Web Consulting
Every startup needs to have a web presence even if the business is not focused on technologies. Most people use the Internet to find and purchase goods and services. If you don’t have a web presence, your startup will be missing out on attracting more consumer attention, and your startup will not look appealing to investors.
Even if you already have a website or web app, it can likely benefit from modernization and redesign. At Koombea, we have a team of skilled web developers that will help your startup choose the right platforms, technologies, and tools to build a world-class web product that reflects the unique identity and tone of your startup.
If you have ever wondered which CMS or web platform is best suited for the needs of your business, a startup consultant with web development experience can be a major asset to your company.
Mobile App Consulting
We live in a mobile-first world. Most startups have an idea for an application that is the basis of their business. However, even if your business won’t revolve around a mobile app, you can’t turn your back on mobile app development. If you want your startup to stand out from the competition, you need to have a mobile app.
How do you know which app development path is best suited for your startup? There are so many different options and approaches to consider. If you don’t have any app development experience, it will be difficult for you to choose the best options for your startup. At Koombea, we are experienced app developers. We specialize in native, cross-platform, and hybrid app development. Our team can also build Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which are the best of both web and mobile.
It is beneficial to have an experienced mobile app developer on your side to help your startup make the right technical decisions. App development is not a cheap service. Your startup needs to ensure that it uses its financial resources wisely to get an app that meets its needs. Even if we don’t develop your mobile app, we can help you make the tough technical choices, create stunning app designs, and more.
Security Consulting
No business can afford to ignore digital security. Startups are in a precarious position as they try to gain a foothold in the market and secure funding for continued growth. A security breach can not only be costly in terms of money, but it could also damage the reputation of your brand and drive interested investors away. Security should be the top priority of every startup.
Koombea proudly offers security consulting services to startups and businesses of all sizes. Our dedicated security team will not only assess your digital security and look for vulnerabilities, but we’ll also ensure that your products and services are compliant with all local and federal regulations that apply to your business.
Protect the future of your startup, and work with an expert in security to ensure your business is doing everything it can to protect itself and its users.
DevOps Consulting
Is your startup struggling to align business operations and development? Many startups can benefit from DevOps consulting services. DevOps is a strategic development model that will help your startup increase the frequency and reliability of software releases. If you want to implement DevOps in your startup, partner with a consulting company that actively uses DevOps in its projects.
At Koombea, we use the DevOps approach in our software development projects. We have been using this approach for over a decade, and we have a lot of experience helping startups implement a robust and effective DevOps model in their projects too.
