We deliver business-aligned IT strategies and the strategic alignment of business activities behind company objectives.
Organisational development activities include business alignment, account management, supplier management, multiple sourcing strategy and re-energising tired organisations.  
Our experience of strategic sourcing include defining and executing outsourcing programmes for IT applications development, IT applications support, data centre management and network management.  This can be followed by the planning and execution of the resultant mergers & acquisition and the management of outsourced services from both a client and supplier perspective.
Our experience in Architecture and IT Strategy development has included the redesign of a business application set to significantly reduce the number of applications whilst increasing the overall functionality.

 

 
We can bring the experience of developing a word-wide e-business strategy and creation of e-business programmes in the context of business-to-business, business-to-consumer, intranet and e-procurement.
Cost reduction can also be achieved not only through strategic sourcing, but also application and platform consolidation, supplier negotiations and other focused cost reduction programmes.
