How we have helped UK businesses control IT spend.
Growing Business Without IT Visibility
A 70-person professional services firm in London had no visibility of their IT spend. Different departments were buying technology independently with no central oversight.
Full spend audit completed. Central IT budget established. Annual saving of 34,000 pounds identified in the first year through contract consolidation and licence rationalisation.
Finance Director Needing IT Clarity
A finance director at a UK manufacturer needed to present the IT budget to the board but had no confidence in the numbers provided by their IT supplier.
Independent IT budget review completed in 2 weeks. Board presentation prepared. Budget reduced by 18% through renegotiation and rationalisation.
Business Planning for Acquisition
A private equity-backed business needed a credible 3-year IT investment plan as part of their growth strategy presentation to investors.
3-year IT investment plan produced with full cost model. Presented to investors with confidence. Technology investment aligned to growth milestones.
