About Mosher Devices

Technology built around your business.

Mosher Devices is the independent consulting practice of an IT professional with hands-on experience in IT support, networking, systems administration, and business technology. Alongside a full-time career in IT, I take on a limited number of consulting engagements for small businesses, offices, and individuals who need expert guidance on their technology.

My work is advisory. I assess your current environment, identify what's working and what needs attention, and give you a clear, practical plan — findings, recommendations, and a roadmap you can act on with confidence. You stay in control of your IT; I make sure you're making well-informed decisions about it.

Hands-on background

Experience across IT support, networking, systems administration, and business technology informs every assessment and recommendation.

Independent & personal

You work directly with me — one consultant who learns your environment and your priorities. No big team, no hand-offs, no sales agenda.

Advice you can act on

Every engagement produces clear findings, priorities, and next steps — a practical plan, explained in plain language.

What I Do

Consulting for your whole IT environment.

I advise on the technology your business runs on — assessing what you have, planning what you need, and recommending the right path forward. Engage me for a single project, or keep me involved on an ongoing advisory basis.

01

Network & Infrastructure Consulting

Your network is the foundation everything else runs on. I review how yours is designed today, where the bottlenecks and risks are, and how it should be structured to support your business as it grows.

  • Network design advice and architecture recommendations
  • Infrastructure assessments of your current environment
  • Wi-Fi planning and coverage guidance
  • VLAN and network segmentation recommendations
  • Router, firewall, and switch selection guidance
  • Network performance reviews and optimization advice

What you receive

A written infrastructure assessment, a recommended network design, and a prioritized list of improvements with the reasoning behind each one.

Who it's for

Businesses with slow, unreliable, or outgrown networks — and anyone planning a new or upgraded network who wants it designed properly first.

02

Business IT Planning Consulting

Setting up an office's IT — or reorganizing what you already have — goes far better with a plan. I help you decide what you need, how it should be structured, and in what order to do it, before money is spent.

  • New office IT setup planning
  • Workstation and device deployment planning
  • Windows Server and Active Directory architecture advice
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace planning
  • User account, permission, and access structure recommendations
  • Printer, shared resource, and business application planning

What you receive

A complete office IT plan: recommended systems and structure, an equipment and services outline, and a step-by-step deployment roadmap.

Who it's for

Businesses opening or moving offices, and offices whose accounts, computers, and shared resources have grown without a plan.

03

Cloud & Systems Advisory

Cloud platforms, servers, email, and remote access involve decisions that are expensive to undo. I review your current systems and advise on architecture, migrations, and upgrades — so changes are planned, not improvised.

  • Cloud architecture reviews and recommendations
  • Server strategy and systems planning
  • Remote access and VPN solution guidance
  • Email system and domain configuration advice
  • Backup and recovery planning guidance
  • Migration planning and upgrade roadmaps

What you receive

A systems review with architecture recommendations, plus a migration or upgrade roadmap that sequences the work and flags the risks.

Who it's for

Businesses considering a move to the cloud, replacing aging servers, or untangling email and remote access that no longer fits how they work.

04

Security Consulting

Most small-business security problems come from gaps nobody knew were there. I assess your environment against sound practice and give you a prioritized set of recommendations you can act on.

  • IT security assessments
  • Firewall and endpoint security recommendations
  • DNS filtering and content protection guidance
  • Device management and policy advice
  • Access control and security hardening recommendations
  • Backup and disaster-recovery planning

What you receive

A written security assessment: the gaps found, how much each one matters, and a hardening and backup plan ordered by priority.

Who it's for

Any business that stores client or operational data — especially those that have never had their security reviewed, or that recently had a scare.

05

Ongoing IT Advisory

Technology decisions don't stop after one project. On an ongoing basis, I stay involved as your advisor — reviewing your environment, helping you evaluate options, and keeping your IT plans current as your business changes.

  • Regular IT reviews and planning sessions
  • Technology planning and budgeting guidance
  • Infrastructure improvement roadmaps, kept up to date
  • Upgrade and migration advice as needs evolve
  • Vendor and solution evaluation — a second opinion before you sign
  • Guidance on recurring issues and how to address them

What you receive

Scheduled review sessions, an evolving technology plan, and a knowledgeable advisor to call on when a decision needs a second look.

Who it's for

Growing businesses without an internal IT department that want senior-level IT thinking available to them over time.

Discuss Your IT Project
What You Get

Consulting that ends with documents, not just conversations.

Advice is only useful if you can act on it. Every engagement produces written deliverables your team — or any IT provider you choose — can work from.

Written IT assessments

A clear record of your environment as it stands: systems, network, accounts, and security — what was found, documented in plain language.

Network & infrastructure plans

A recommended design for your network and infrastructure — structure, equipment categories, and how the pieces fit together.

Security recommendations

The gaps that matter, in priority order, with specific recommendations for hardening, access control, filtering, and backup.

Migration & upgrade roadmaps

A sequenced plan for moving systems or replacing aging equipment — what happens first, what depends on what, and where the risks are.

Technology plans

A forward-looking plan tying your technology decisions to your business plans — what to budget for, and when, over the coming year and beyond.

Prioritized next steps

Every deliverable ends the same way: a short, ordered list of what to do next — what can't wait, what can, and what to skip entirely.

Who I Help

For businesses that need IT expertise — without an IT department.

I consult for organizations that rely on their technology but don't have internal IT staff to assess, plan, and guide it. Bring me in for an individual project, or keep me involved as your ongoing advisor.

Small & medium-sized businesses

Practical IT guidance for the technology your business depends on every day — assessed honestly, planned sensibly.

Professional offices

Advice on the systems, accounts, and networks your office runs on — so technology decisions support the work, not distract from it.

Growing companies without internal IT

Senior-level IT thinking for planning and decisions, available when you need it — without hiring an IT department.

Businesses setting up a new office

A complete IT plan for your new space — network, systems, accounts, and workstations — worked out before you move in, not after.

Businesses upgrading outdated networks

An honest assessment of what you have today, and a realistic roadmap for bringing your network and systems up to date.

Organizations managing their IT environment

Ongoing reviews and guidance to keep your IT environment organized, documented, and planned — instead of improvised.

Reliable infrastructure. Practical IT expertise.

How I Work

How an engagement works.

Every engagement follows the same considered path — and produces something concrete at each stage, so you always know what you're getting and what happens next.

1

Initial Consultation

A conversation about your needs.

We start with a discussion about your business, how you use technology today, and what's prompting the conversation — a new office, a problem that keeps recurring, or a decision you need to make well.

You get: a clear picture of whether consulting is the right fit, and what an assessment of your environment would cover.

2

Assessment

Understand your environment.

I review your network, systems, accounts, security, and backup as they stand today — documenting what exists, what's working, and where the gaps and risks are.

You get: a written assessment of your current IT environment.

3

Findings & Recommendations

Clear, prioritized advice.

I walk you through what I found and what I recommend — in plain language, with the reasoning behind each recommendation, so you can weigh the options yourself.

You get: documented findings and recommendations, ordered by priority and impact.

4

Roadmap

A plan for moving forward.

The recommendations become a step-by-step roadmap: what to do first, what can wait, what it depends on — a plan you can hand to your own team or any IT provider to carry out.

You get: a practical, sequenced roadmap you own outright.

5

Follow-Up Advisory

Guidance as you move forward.

If you'd like, I stay involved in an advisory role: reviewing progress against the roadmap, answering questions as decisions come up, and updating the plan as your business and technology change.

You get: regular review sessions and an advisor who already knows your environment.

Clear advice. A practical plan. Decisions you can make with confidence.

Why Work With Me

An IT consultant who puts your business first.

Choosing an advisor is about more than technical knowledge. It's about clear thinking, honest recommendations, and advice grounded in how your business actually works.

Practical problem-solving

I start from the problem you're actually trying to solve — and recommend the simplest approach that solves it properly.

Reliable advice

Recommendations grounded in real-world IT experience — what works in practice, in real offices, not just on paper.

Clear communication

You never need a technical background to follow my advice. Findings, options, and plans are explained in plain language.

The right solution for you

Every business is different. My recommendations are based on your needs, your environment, and your budget — nothing else.

Independent advice, focused entirely on your business.

Before We Talk

Preparing for your consultation.

A few details help me understand your environment quickly and make the first conversation count. Rough answers are fine — part of the assessment is finding the exact ones.

1

A rough count of computers & users

How many computers, and how many people use your systems. A ballpark number is plenty to start.

2

Who handles your IT today

Whether that's an employee, an outside provider, or nobody at all — and who holds the admin accounts.

3

Your internet & network basics

Your provider, and roughly where your router and network equipment live. Photos of the setup help a lot.

4

Your known pain points

Slow systems, Wi-Fi dead spots, recurring problems — the things your team complains about most.

5

Your backup situation

Whether your files and systems are backed up anywhere today, and where. "Not sure" is an important answer too.

6

Your goals

What you want your technology to do better — a new office, a faster network, fewer surprises, room to grow.

Questions

Consulting, explained plainly.

What working with an independent IT consultant means — and what it doesn't. Something else on your mind? Call 347-670-5165 or email hello@mosherdevices.com.

Consulting is advice, not labor. I assess your environment, work out what it needs, and give you a documented plan and recommendations. The hands-on work itself — installing, configuring, cabling — is then carried out by you, your staff, or any IT provider you choose, working from that plan. You get expert thinking without committing to a provider for the execution.

Correct — Mosher Devices is a consulting practice, not a repair shop or a managed service provider. My background is hands-on IT work, which is exactly what makes the advice practical. But the service I offer is the assessment, the plan, and the guidance. If you'd like, I can stay involved in an advisory role while the work is carried out, reviewing progress and answering questions along the way.

That depends on the engagement, but typically: your network and how it's structured, your computers and servers, user accounts and who has access to what, your email and cloud platforms, your security posture, and how your data is backed up. The scope is agreed in the initial consultation, based on what you're trying to decide or improve.

Written documents you keep: an assessment of your current environment, findings explained in plain language, recommendations in priority order, and a roadmap that sequences the work. They're written so that you — or any competent IT provider — can act on them without me in the room.

A project has a defined question and a defined end: plan this office, assess this network, roadmap this migration. Ongoing advisory keeps me involved over time — regular reviews, planning sessions, and a second opinion whenever a technology decision comes up. Many clients start with a project and continue with advisory once they see the value of having the plan kept current.

Very little: roughly how many people and computers you have, who currently handles your IT, what your main pain points are, and what you're hoping to achieve. The preparation guide above lists the handful of things worth gathering — rough answers are fine.

Often, yes. An independent consultant has no products to sell and no contract to defend, so you get an honest second opinion: on your provider's recommendations, on a quote you've received, or on whether your current setup still fits your business. The plan I produce can be handed straight to your existing provider to execute.

That's exactly who this is for. Small businesses and offices without internal IT staff are the ones most exposed to expensive technology mistakes — buying the wrong systems, or neglecting security and backup until something goes wrong. Consulting gives you senior-level IT thinking, sized to what you actually need.
