Skills - As IT services increase in criticality and complexity you need an increasing range of skills to support it all, which come at increasing cost.
We can supplement your skills in the areas you need us to.
Budget - Many customers do not have access to the capex and opex budgets they need to achieve everything being asked of them. Whats more, there are people spending this budget inappropriately either by poorly controlled expenditure on areas such as mobile data roaming, or procuring their own IT services in department.
By combining your expenditure on many of the day to day IT and communications services, we are able to fund transformation projects. Whats more, we have a track record of re-arranging our solutions to fit with the make-up of your budget. Weightmans funded a refresh of their whole UC estate with their existing fixed lien and mobile spend for example.
Legacy - the legacy infrastructure has to be supported as well as providing new wave services.
Many vendors have a vision of where they would like their customers to end up. However, they often lack the plan to get them from one technology to the other. For Lark Insurance, we migrated their existing application delivery infrastructure to our datacentres - de-racking, transporting, and re-racking and re-provisioning. Only then started to rebuild a new stack of services, resulting in seamless transition.
Innovation and Business Innovation - there is increasing pressure for IT to fulfil these functions. The above issues hamper your ability to drive innovation and support revenue generation, especially your speed of delivery.
