Technology Consultancy & Project Delivery
Technology that works in the real world.
296 Technology provides independent technology consultancy, support and project delivery across IT, networks, security, AV and connected spaces.
From individual technical challenges to complete technology projects, we help organisations design, deliver, support and improve the systems their people and buildings rely upon.
01Introduction
More than IT support.
Modern organisations depend upon far more than laptops and software.
Networks, connectivity, cloud platforms, meeting spaces, security systems, access control, CCTV, AV and physical environments increasingly form one connected technology estate.
296 Technology provides a single point of technical understanding across those environments.
We can lead a complete technology project, provide independent advice, resolve a specific problem or work alongside existing suppliers and internal teams.

03Technology project delivery
One project. Multiple technologies. One technical view.
Technology projects often involve multiple suppliers who each understand their own system but nobody owns the complete picture.
296 Technology provides independent technical leadership across the whole environment.

Understand the organisation, operational requirements, existing infrastructure, constraints and commercial objectives.

04Independent consultancy
Independent when independence matters.
296 Technology does not always need to supply the equipment or become the permanent IT provider. Clients can engage the business purely for expertise.
Typical engagements
- Reviewing a supplier proposal before committing to an investment
- Investigating why an existing technology platform is not performing correctly
- Representing a client's interests during a construction project
- Creating a technical scope that multiple suppliers can quote against
- Reviewing technology infrastructure ahead of a refurbishment
- Supporting an acquisition or new property
- Providing temporary additional technical leadership
- Helping an internal IT team deliver a project outside their normal workload
- Providing specialist project capability to another technology provider
05Why 296
A technical position you can rely upon.
Independent thinking
Technology decisions should make technical, operational and commercial sense rather than simply favouring one supplier.
Broad technical understanding
Networks, security, AV, access control, cloud systems and property technology increasingly depend upon one another.
Commercial awareness
A technically perfect solution is not useful if it is unnecessarily expensive, difficult to operate or impossible to maintain.
Direct involvement
Clients have direct access to the person responsible for understanding and delivering their work.
