Analysing Problems, Finding Solutions, Getting Funding & Procurement

We will often undertake problem analysis at no cost, and take an independent look at your IT setup in Revenues and Benefits. Our proposals will vary from system adjustments and system add-ons to whole scale replacement. We have experience of all three and never recommend a drastic solution, if there is a simpler, low cost alternative.

No IT solution is likely to be cheap – whether we provide the solution or we recommend purchasing resources from your existing software supplier – so we are happy to assist you in meeting the criteria needed for Performance Standards Funding – and if that isn’t possible, we will help cost justify the development within your organisation.

Case Study: London Borough of Brent
Following the decision to take the benefits service back in-house, Brent was faced with numerous urgent IT issues.

  • Migration to i-World
  • Reconfiguration of the EDMS system to short term
  • Procurement of the EDMS system in the long term

Our IT service sub-contracted from a larger contract with ESP

  • We played a key role in the selection of the new IT contractor for the service

  • We played a key role on the Sx3 i-World project team

  • We specified requirements and developed add-on facilities which are now business crucial systems linked to the existing EDMS system

  • We wrote a successful bid for a replacement EDMS system

  • We have been involved in the Project Team for procurement of the above

  • We have written an add-onn Debt Recovery system, based on our experience in another London Borough
