About the background of IT Matters

IT Matters was formed in 1997 as an independent consultancy to small and medium sized businesses operating primarily in Kent and Sussex. Our goal is to provide practical advice on getting the best value from PC-based investments matching effective solutions to business needs.

At a time when big IT issues are demanding attention for action, it becomes increasingly difficult to get good meaningful help to tackle and resolve new PC-based requirements in a way that does not adversely impact your profitability.

IT Matters was founded by Tony Crooks because there is a critical shortage of understanding, knowledge and experience of SME information technology needs that is truly independent from vendors of computers and software.

Having worked within the IT industry for many years, we are concerned that too much of the cost, in supporting the delivery and management of computer solutions that is born by small business, is associated with unnecessarily high fixed costs, including office rental, labour overheads, etc.

We believe that it is more appropriate to bring together only the right IT skills as needed to meet the specific requirements of the client. IT Matters does this through the use of independent consultancy associates who are like-minded in the need to provide affordable expertise.

In this way we align the delivery of the maximum skill and knowledge with a reasonable cost structure that the smaller business can manage.
