ONGOING MANAGEMENT
Vendor Oversight
As an experienced independent partner, we help with the ongoing management of vendors using proven frameworks that lead to positive relationships, increased accountability, speedier issue resolution, and better service integration.
Strategic Oversight
We provide strategic oversight across a range of strategic projects that typically fall into three areas:
-
An assessment of an organisation's IT health or assisting in preparing for rapid change (i.e. COVID impact on hybrid working).
-
A strategy focusing on key capabilities that have broad impact; like selecting a primary application such as a case management or finance system.
-
Detailed assessment of quality and compliance across organisational strategic pillars.
The difference in our approach is our focus on people, engaging with staff and understanding customers to ensure recommendations meet their needs.
