Start with the business, not the technology
We look at how the work actually gets done before recommending anything. The right answer is often simpler and cheaper than the one you were quoted.
About H&J
An IT solutions company that designs, delivers and supports the technology businesses run on.
From custom software and cloud infrastructure to day-to-day support and security, for owner-run firms and multi-site organisations alike.
Who we are
Practical technology, plainly explained.
H&J Business Solutions is the technology practice of H&J. We help businesses get more from technology: replacing manual processes with software that fits, moving to the cloud safely, keeping systems secure and supported, and being the one number to call when something needs fixing or building.
We're deliberately small and hands-on. The people you meet at the first meeting are the people who plan the work, deliver it and answer the phone afterwards. That means fewer hand-offs, fewer misunderstandings and solutions that reflect what you actually told us.
We don't resell anyone's products, so our advice is about what's right for your business. Sometimes that's a bespoke system; sometimes it's a £30-a-month tool set up properly. We'll tell you which.
How we think
Four principles behind everything we do.
Plain English, fixed scope
You get a written scope you can read without a translator and a price that doesn't move unless the scope does. When it does, we re-quote in the open.
Deliver in stages, improve continuously
Working results every fortnight beat a perfect plan. Real use surfaces the things nobody thought to mention, while changes are still cheap.
Build so you're not dependent on us
Standard, well-supported technology, documentation with every project, and hosting, cloud and software accounts in your name. We'd rather you stay because the work is good.
The H&J family
Three practices, one way of working.
Business Solutions sits alongside our consultancy and training practices, so the same team that delivers your technology can help with the analysis before it and the training after it.
H&J Consultancy
Business analysis, research and data work: the thinking that comes before a change, and the evidence that shows whether it's working.
