Our transformation services are designed to assist businesses who are going through a period of change, whether the reason is:
The key to being successful in these areas is to be involved early on in your planning process, this allows us to understand your requirements better and even suggest alternative courses of action should they be appropriate. If you have been acquired by a third party it can be a very different project with time usually being of the essence, this requires quick decisive thinking and an ability to look past the way you currently do things. Business and IT has either led or been involved in many projects over the years that have required a project plan to be implemented designed, approved and implemented quickly. These types of project usually require decisive action performed in a professional way to very explicit dates. Business and IT can help you achieve that goal.
Business/Service Expansion or RestructuringWhether you're expanding your business or restructuring for a new service rollout or even to reduce costs, we have the experience to assist you in making the right choice. It is strongly recommended that you engage our services as early as possible for these types of projects. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA's) and confidentiality are vital in these circumstances and we always ensure our clients business needs come first even if it means we have to suggest things you may not want to hear.
IT Team Expansion or RestructuringWhen dealing with personnel issues it is important to ensure you remain sensitive and empathetic with the staff involved no matter what the requirement is. Whether your expanding or have an underperforming team there will be concerns at the staff level that if not dealt with in a professional manner can have a negative effect on any change or project. When dealing with underperforming teams it is vital to quickly and efficiently understand the underlying root cause of the problem, this requires an ability to canvas the views of customers, management, HR/personnel and the staff themselves. In some cases it's also important to understand the systems that the staff are supporting, maybe its not a staffing issue at all! The services you provide are only as good as the staff that support them, whilst reorganising can be a difficult decision for many businesses to take, in the end it's usually to the benefit of all those involved. Your businesses may be expanding at a rapid rate and the current staff may simply not be experienced enough or have the right skills, either way they will know it and be feeling the pressure as well. Business and IT have over 15 years of experience in running and managing large IT teams, international teams and teams made up of temp staff such as some Service Desks.
Merger and AcquisitionsThese projects are usually an exciting and stressful time for all parties involved, who's system's should we use?, what staff should we keep?, where should they be?, the list of questions can be endless. At the end of the day this usually comes down to having a good strategy in place and the due diligence being performed with IT's involvement, something that unfortunately still doesn't happen as regularly as it should. If you are either of the business owners and require an independent view then a Business and IT can provide that as well. Mergers and Acquisitions are confidential transactions and Business and IT can afford you a fully confidential service.
Sourcing StrategySourcing strategies can be critical to business success; strategic decisions about non-core activities can free management and operational resource to focus on the core activities that create value and competitive advantage. Business and IT can help you identify which areas of your IT can be outsourced effectively, and develop the most appropriate strategy for your business by assessing the impact of sourcing options including:
