What types of firms are a good fit for ALT’s IT consulting services?

ALT works with professional services organizations that rely on a stable, well-structured technology environment. This includes law firms, financial services teams, engineering practices, and creative or advisory firms using Microsoft 365 or related cloud tools. We are a good fit for firms that want long-term consulting, clear technology planning, and a consistent structure for managing operations as they grow.

What does ALT provide as an IT consulting company?

We provide ongoing IT consulting that helps leadership make informed decisions and maintain a dependable operational environment. This includes assessment, planning, workflow alignment, and technical guidance. Through ALT Care Plus, firms receive ongoing consulting, operational oversight, and the project work required to keep systems organized and functioning reliably.

How is IT consulting different from ongoing IT support?

Consulting defines how systems should work and how the firm should evolve its technology as it grows. Support focuses on day-to-day operational needs. ALT Care Plus provides both, giving the firm a structured consulting relationship along with the operational coverage needed for smooth daily work.

What does a typical consulting engagement include?

We begin by reviewing your systems, access structure, workflows, and security posture. From there, we outline a technology plan with priorities and recommended changes. We then guide or oversee the implementation steps—such as Microsoft 365 alignment, workflow refinements, and security improvements.

Can you help us evaluate our systems and create a clear technology plan?

Yes. Evaluating your environment and establishing a structured plan is central to our consulting work. We identify gaps, clarify priorities, and outline a practical sequence for improvements. This gives leadership a clear roadmap and removes uncertainty about what to improve and when.

Do you work with firms that already have an internal IT team or another provider?

Yes. Many firms use ALT for strategic direction while their internal IT team manages daily operations. We define the plan, set standards, and ensure decisions support the firm’s long-term goals. Our work gives internal teams structure and clarity so execution stays consistent and aligned.

Can you assist new firms or teams that are expanding and need their systems set up correctly?

Yes. We frequently support new or expanding firms that want a clean, organized start. We structure Microsoft 365, define access, set standards, and ensure tools and workflows are configured correctly from day one. For law firms, this includes aligning Clio with Microsoft 365. For other professional services teams, we focus on the systems and tools central to their daily work.

How does ALT support Clio and Microsoft 365 environments?

For law firms, we align Clio and Microsoft 365 so identity, documents, workflows, and communication operate as a single, structured system. This ensures predictable, consistent daily work. For other firms, we focus on structuring Microsoft 365 for secure, efficient operations across the organization.

How does ALT support professional services organizations that do not use Clio?

Most professional services organizations rely on Microsoft 365 as their core platform. We structure this environment so identity, devices, files, and security operate predictably and support daily work without interruption. Through ongoing consulting, we guide decisions, oversee improvements, and help the environment evolve as the organization grows.

What geographic areas within Los Angeles do you serve?

We support firms across Los Angeles and Orange County. Most consulting work is performed remotely, but we provide onsite support when in-person sessions, system reviews, or implementation steps are beneficial.

How is pricing structured for consulting projects?

Consulting engagements are clearly defined from the start, with specific deliverables and predictable pricing. For firms seeking ongoing consulting, ALT Care Plus provides steady monthly pricing that includes advisory support, oversight, and the project work required to keep the environment aligned.

The ALT approach to IT consulting

Our consulting work is built around a simple goal: give your firm a clear, practical plan for how technology should work. We focus on understanding how you operate today and outlining the steps needed to support steady, predictable growth.

We start by understanding how your firm works

Before recommending any changes, we take time to understand your environment, workflows, and responsibilities across the firm. This ensures our guidance fits the way your teams actually work, not an idealized version on paper. We start with the essentials:

Review current systems, tools, and integrations in use across the firm
Map how information moves between teams, matters, and client work
Identify friction, risk areas, and gaps where technology creates unnecessary effort

We provide a clear, practical technology plan

From there, we develop a technology plan that your team can understand and act on. We focus on steady improvements, not disruptive overhauls, so the firm can keep working while changes are made.

As part of the plan, we:

Recommend the tools, changes, and sequencing based on your priorities
Align Microsoft 365, cloud platforms, and security controls with firm operations
Coordinate with vendors where needed so systems stay organized and consistent

Mariano significantly improved how I manage my work at the firm. Before working with him, I was overwhelmed trying to keep up with day-to-day operations. It felt like I was constantly drowning, unable to focus on my biggest ideas. I now have a streamlined process that lets me delegate effectively and helps me make daily progress on my biggest goals. I love coming to work, and that's in major part due to the frameworks he has taught me.

— Neil Gornto

My firm has had the privilege of working with Michael, and it’s been a transformative experience. I used to think being busy and overwhelmed was just part of the job, but Michael showed me a different way. He helped me implement systems that streamlined everything we do behind the scenes. Having one company to coach me and support me through the process was exactly what I needed, and no other agency offers this.
