What we do in Production
Increasingly, business decisions and solutions involve elements of technology. The challenge is how CIOs and technology leaders stay on top of expanding requirements with often inflexible budgets which grow at a slower pace than the demand, while still guarding their organizations against risks.
We specialise on delivering better supplier outcomes. Our people deal with technology suppliers daily across sectors, optimizing agreements commercially and operationally. We know what good value looks like in the market and bring that to your supply base, from complex commercial constructs within your enterprise estate to tidying up your lower-cost vendor landscape – and we do it fast.
What are today’s Challenges?
Combining technical and commercial nous leads to powerful outcomes. Yet, the relationship between CIOs and their procurement counterparts is often fraught due to misaligned objectives or a misconception of conflicting needs. Our mission is to turn that on its head and make procurement a key partner in realizing your vision in the best possible way. We are the trusted advisor to help you when you are talking to suppliers or have a complex IT challenge to solve.
Typically, organizations strive to be more agile and scalable. We are seeing CIOs face cost pressures from budget cuts as a knock-on from top-line reductions, inflation, or unpicking accumulated technical debt. Optimizing spend whilst mitigating risk is no mean feat, and it requires many facets:
modernizing legacy systems in line with rapid technology advancements
balancing innovation, risk, and costs when investing in new technologies
breakdown of increasingly complex commercial constructs to identify true value
understanding your technology landscape to reflect that of your vendors
ensuring alignment across end-to-end technology touchpoints driving efficiency and satisfaction
adapting security and compliance risk solutions in line with evolving requirements
