IT Consulting in Peachtree Corners, Georgia

IT Consulting in Peachtree Corners, GA: Strategic Technology Planning from COMNEXIA

Peachtree Corners sits at the center of one of Gwinnett County's densest technology corridors, home to the Technology Park Atlanta campus, a growing cluster of SaaS companies, professional services firms, and franchised auto dealerships along Peachtree Parkway. Businesses here face the same question every 18 to 24 months: is our current technology stack actually aligned with where the company is going, or are we patching problems that a better architecture would eliminate? COMNEXIA, headquartered in Roswell, GA since 1991, delivers IT consulting that answers that question with a documented roadmap, not a sales pitch for the next shiny appliance.

What IT Consulting Actually Means for a Peachtree Corners Business

IT consulting from COMNEXIA is a structured advisory engagement, not a break-fix call or a vague "strategy session." It begins with a technical discovery that documents your current environment: Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID tenant configuration, Microsoft 365 licensing tier and enabled workloads, endpoint operating system versions and patch currency, firewall ruleset and VLAN segmentation, and any line-of-business applications your operations depend on. From that baseline, our engineers identify the gaps between what you have and what a security-first architecture requires, then produce a written remediation roadmap with prioritized line items, estimated effort, and business justification for each change.

The security posture review is built into every engagement because deferred security decisions accumulate into material risk. We assess whether Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies enforce MFA on every sign-in, whether endpoint detection and response is deployed (COMNEXIA standardizes on SentinelOne EDR), whether email is protected by Microsoft Defender for Office 365 anti-phishing and safe-links policies, and whether administrative accounts are separated from daily-use credentials. These are not aspirational checkboxes; they are configurations we verify in your tenant and document in a written findings report.

IT Consulting for Auto Dealerships: FTC Safeguards Rule Alignment

Franchised dealerships in the Peachtree Corners and Gwinnett County market operate dealer management systems from CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, or Dealertrack. Each of those platforms handles nonpublic personal information (NPI) from consumer credit applications, which means the dealership is a financial institution under the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314). The 2023 revised rule requires, among other controls, a written information security program, an annual risk assessment, multi-factor authentication on any system accessing customer financial data, and encryption of NPI in transit and at rest.

COMNEXIA's IT consulting engagement for dealerships maps directly to those requirements. We review CDK or Reynolds network segmentation to confirm the DMS sits on an isolated VLAN with firewall rules that restrict access to named workstations and authorized personnel only. We verify that MFA is enforced at the Microsoft 365 layer before a service writer or F&I manager can reach cloud-stored deal jackets. We document the gap analysis in a format your dealer principal or compliance officer can present to an auditor. If your dealership has not completed a formal Safeguards Rule risk assessment, that becomes step one of the engagement.

What COMNEXIA Delivers During an IT Consulting Engagement

• Written current-state inventory: every server, firewall, switch, and SaaS license catalogued with version and support-status noted
• Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 configuration review against CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark controls
• SentinelOne EDR deployment gap report showing which endpoints are unprotected and why
• Patch currency report pulled from NinjaOne RMM showing OS and third-party application patch age across all managed devices
• Network segmentation diagram with recommended VLAN and firewall rule changes documented in plain language
• Prioritized 12-month technology roadmap with sequenced projects, estimated implementation hours, and business risk rationale for each item
• Executive summary written for non-technical stakeholders, suitable for a board meeting or ownership review

How Ongoing IT Consulting Connects to Managed Services

A one-time roadmap has a short shelf life if nothing enforces it. COMNEXIA clients who move from a consulting engagement into a managed services agreement receive continuous roadmap maintenance as part of the relationship. NinjaOne RMM monitors patch compliance against the agreed endpoint standard monthly. ConnectWise ticketing tracks every change against the project list so nothing falls between the cracks. A monthly reporting package shows patch rates, open vulnerabilities, ticket resolution trends, and progress against the roadmap milestones, giving your leadership team a factual status update rather than a verbal assurance.
