What This Code Means
Use this code if your primary activity is advising clients on technology decisions rather than writing code yourself. If you do both consulting and development, use whichever generates more revenue as your primary code and the other as secondary. Many IT contractors use this code alongside 62012. The distinction between 62020 and 70229 (management consultancy) is that 62020 is specifically about technology, while 70229 covers general business strategy.
Businesses That Use This Code
- IT strategy consultants
- Systems architecture advisory firms
- Digital transformation consultancies
- IT project management companies
- Technology advisory firms
