An IT assessment evaluates your overall IT infrastructure, systems, people and process.  It’s a bit like a medical check-up - to assess the health of your current IT, see if there are risks and also look down the road for opportunities to improve.  As such, the assessment tends to look closely at your IT network, hardware, the software your business uses, but it also actually examines the processes and people using the IT.  Like periodic medical exams, assessments are vitally important to your business' health.
