Consultancies are generally divided into the same 4 phases of a project:

1. Diagnosis where the situation is evaluated and problems and issues to be improved are identified.
2. Design of an action plan that establishes what is to be done based on the results of the diagnosis;
3. Implementation of the plan, phase in which the action plan is applied; and finally
4. evaluation of results.

In this last phase, a diagnosis is made again and compared with the initial situation. If a recurrent monitoring service is contracted, evaluation processes will be carried out from time to time to assess the actions. In any case, consulting depends on the sector, the type of consulting firm and the client’s preferences, so it may happen that more emphasis is placed on some of these phases than on others.

Computer consultancies can focus on computer maintenance, which consists of computer maintenance, hardware repair, custom software installation, security and technical support. Or it can be oriented to the management of social networks and the positioning and traffic of the web page, that is to say a SEO and social networks consultancy.

Another type of consulting can focus on the professional design and development of a website that meets the requirements necessary to ensure the business objectives.

It can also be an e-commerce consultancy. E-commerce has become a growing sector. Consulting for linear sales consists of market research, pricing strategy and selection of the most appropriate content management systems.

There are also online marketing consultants and cloud storage for copying or retrieving information.
