New ways of working are required and addressing the people aspects of change is key to ensuring that the change will be successful.; ; The Brightman Services helps businesses adopting cloud to introduce and integrate new or redefined cloud services without disrupting BAU. Though targeted preparation, mobilisation, transitioning and handover activities changes in people, process, organisation, information and technology are managed to ensure the seamless commissioning of new cloud services.; ; Brightman provide a comprehensive transition service to embed Cloud services within business as usual.

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Brightman consultants are experts in Business Assurance Testing, ensuring the solution is fit for purpose and will deliver the required business benefits. Each client assignment is allocated a Brightman Account Manager who is responsible for overseeing the services to be delivered. The Account Manager will oversee quality assurance of all regular checkpoints and highlight reports prior to delivery to the customer to ensure all activities and agreed products are being delivered to plan. ; The Account Manager maintains contact with the lead consultant on at least a weekly basis and as and when required via telephone, email and face to face meetings to monitor progress of the assignment and to ensure any risks and issues which may arise are managed appropriately. In addition, the Account Manager will also periodically liaise with the client to ensure they are satisfied with the progress of the work and the conduct of the consultant, and acts as a point of escalation for the client should they require it. ; Through these regular meetings and feedback with clients we assess their satisfaction with the consultants’ performance and address any performance issues that may arise.

  Fighting climate change

  As a business we encourage our people to travel less and consider carbon offsetting where we can. We have an environmental policy which reflects our ways of working. We rarely use paper and respect the policies of our hosts to work from home wherever possible, to reduce fossil fuel consumption.

  Covid-19 recovery

  We are continually supporting COVID-19 recovery by ensuring our staff stay as safe as possible and can work in a COVID safe environment. We encourage people to work at home unless required to attend site for the purposes of furthering their work outcomes. Our people follow government advice on preventing the spread of the disease.

  Tackling economic inequality

  As a micro business our goal is to donate to a food bank at least four times a year. We also engage with nearby school/colleges by being available to influence and advise children on career choices they may not have considered. Being made aware of other careers and opportunities will enable children to seek more diverse career options.

  Equal opportunity

  We believe that children should be made aware of as many career options as possible to help them when making their life choices. We engage with nearby schools/colleges by being available to influence and advise children on career choices they may not have considered. Giving young people insight into the work we do and why we do it is a worthwhile enterprise, whatever they end up doing. We have a diverse workforce, and both Directors are female in a male dominated world of STEM.

  Wellbeing

  We support the mental health of our staff by ensuring that we lend a listening and supportive ear to any problems they may have. In our work (business change) we prioritise the people aspect of change and support businesses with strategies to ensure that people embrace change and are involved and informed along the way.
