Presently preparing for a consulting interview with a consulting firm that only does technology consulting. Heard from a few people that most of their case questions are technology focused.
There are 3 main aspects. First two are very similar to strategy consulting companies:
1- Preparing for fit questions (see other related posts)
2- Preparing for case interviews (not necessarily IT related ones)
3- Preparing for technical IT related topics
Preplounge can be very useful for the first 2, you may want to also check other sources for the last one.
Note: These are typical IT consulting interviews but you may want to validate the interview structure with the company you will have an interview.

For the IT cases, I recommend reading the articles of the consulting companies about these topics on their websites (Hundreds of them if you google by key words "agile", "Digital", at McKinsey, BCG or Accenture)
But here is a list of potential topics you need to know. It is a full list and looks scary but they test a lot of these concepts depending on the particular role:
Good luck!
