IT Consultancy
H2 now offers
a range of IT consultancy services - founded by H2 in 2010 "Ashford Computer Solutions" provides trained and qualified IT professionals with years of real world experience - available to offer valuable advice, and to diagnose and fix a wide range of computer and network issues.
In much the same way as you do not need to be a mechanic to drive a car, we feel that you should not have to be a computer specialist in order to make the best use of what computer technology has to offer. We realise how important technology is in people’s everyday lives at home and in the workplace, and the inconvenience it causes when your computer systems let you down. We want to make the process of resolving an issue as quick, pain-free and cost effective as possible for you.
We pride ourselves on our ability to describe to our customers often complex technical issues in simple terms. However our aim is not to patronise you but to communicate in a way that you will understand. So if you want a technical explanation we’ll happily give you that too. We offer a Jargon Free Guarantee, this is not just an empty marketing slogan; it is the expression of our very real commitment to providing computer services to you, our customers, in easy to understand language.
Whatever
your needs, we will be happy to provide an initial, no-obligation quote.

The process
- Needs Analysis - Having agreed an outline proposal, we will
undertake a more detailed analysis of your needs, using a range of appropriate
methods. This could involve face-to-face meetings or telephone conversations
with relevant staff.
- Proposal - We will present our suggestions based on the results
of the needs analysis. This usually includes specifying objectives,
methods
of delivery and evaluation criteria, as well as outlining more detailed
costings.
- Design - We will design our services to meet agreed objectives
and using the most appropriate approach for your situation.
- Delivery – We are committed to achieving tangible results.
We will therefore ensure that all agreed services are delivered according
to specified objectives and quality standards.
- Evaluation – We will produce a detailed evaluation of the
overall project including analysis of objectives achieved, and any suggested
future
requirements.
- Follow-up – We will either agree follow-up activities at the
outset, or they may be agreed as a result of recommendations made at
the
evaluation stage. These might include:
- training of key staff
- on-going mentoring of key staff
- progress analysis/reports
- delivery of further services.
