55 Park Road, 
An IT roadmap is a clear, costed plan for your technology over the next one to three years. Instead of reacting to failing laptops, surprise licence bills and security scares, a roadmap from Sydney Technology Solutions shows what needs to happen, when, and what it will cost, so technology supports your business goals rather than getting in the way.
What your IT roadmap covers
Where you are now
A review of your devices, servers, network, Microsoft 365, security and support, with the risks and gaps explained in plain English.
Hardware and software lifecycle
When computers, servers and network equipment are due for replacement, and which software is reaching end of support.
Security and Essential Eight
Your current security maturity and the steps to improve it, aligned with the Essential Eight.
Cloud and Microsoft 365
What should move to the cloud, what should stay, and how to get more from the Microsoft 365 licences you already pay for.
AI and productivity
Where tools like Microsoft Copilot could save your team time, and what needs to be in place first.
Budget and priorities
A prioritised list with estimated costs and timing, so you can plan your IT budget with no surprises.
Why every business needs an IT roadmap
- No surprises: know what’s coming up and budget for it, instead of finding out when something breaks.
- Money well spent: spend on what matters most to your business, and skip what doesn’t.
- Lower risk: fix security gaps and unsupported systems before they cause an incident.
- Better decisions: a roadmap connects technology choices to your business plans, such as growth, new offices or new services.

Part of our managed IT service
For managed IT clients, your account manager keeps your roadmap current through regular IT reviews, so the plan stays useful rather than sitting in a drawer. Businesses that aren’t on a managed plan can also ask us to prepare a one-off roadmap.
Why choose STS for your IT roadmap
We’ve been planning technology for Sydney businesses since 1999, and we’ll always tell you honestly what isn’t worth the money. Your roadmap is built around your business, not around what we’d like to sell, and it draws on official guidance such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight.

Frequently asked questions
What is an IT roadmap?
An IT roadmap is a written plan that sets out what technology changes your business needs over the next one to three years, in what order, and roughly what they will cost.
How long does it take to build an IT roadmap?
It depends on the size of your business, but most roadmaps take a few weeks from the first conversation to the final plan.
How often should an IT roadmap be updated?
We recommend reviewing it regularly, at least once a year, and whenever your business changes significantly.
Do we need to be a managed IT client?
No. Managed IT clients have their roadmap kept current through regular reviews, but we can also prepare a one-off plan for any business.
How much does an IT roadmap cost?
It depends on the size and complexity of your environment. We give you clear pricing before we start.
