Case Study - New IT Strategy and Infrastructure for UK Services Company.
cibsys has recently overhauled the IT strategy and systems infrastructure for a UK advisory group. The firm provide a wide range of human resources and consultancy services to companies from their offices throughout the UK.
The company turned to cibsys because they needed a provider that could relate their technical issues and challenges to their ambitious business growth and objectives. The group had grown rapidly from one business unit to many in a short period. As a result the company was suffering from difficulties of working across teams and offices, coupled with poor IT service stability. They wanted to achieve a market lead both in business and the systems supporting them.
The firm approached cibsys with the challenge to present to the Board options for a revised IT strategy that would improve stability and service, optimise running costs, and deliver a platform for the group to grow. cibsys delivered innovative ways to not only consolidate and optimise their current technology, but also to improve the speed of integration of their corporate acquisitions, enable improved cross selling, and increase their margins.
cibsys was active in implementing and running the projects to deliver the new IT landscape. The infrastructure now provides a cost effective platform for the group to grow, with IT no longer a constraint on business, but an enabler in a competitive market.
