Planning
- Planning service
- Yes
- How the planning service works
-
We help buyers plan implementation for cloud hosting or software services by ensuring they have captured their requirements correctly and by engaging the supply chain in a positive manner to select the most suitable implementation partner.
Many implementation projects suffer from being undefined and operating on inefficient commercial models such as Time and Materials. We ensure that the commercial model deployed is outcome based and that all requirements and dependencies are mapped and understood,
We then ensure that the correct suppliers are invited to tender, i.e. those suppliers with relevant experience who are willing to work to the commercial model outlined. - Planning service works with specific services
