- Service constraints
- Buyers should be aware that Deloitte's service assumes certain client contributions and inputs. Key constraints include providing access to existing cloud and non-cloud datasets, detailed process maps, and information on current technology architecture. Clients are also expected to provide dedicated part-time resources, access to key stakeholders, and timely decisions. While Deloitte is flexible and can discuss altering their approach if these assumptions aren't met, this could impact the service's scope or timeline. Additionally, for some services, clients may be responsible for ongoing maintenance and upgrades.

Deloitte provides comprehensive support throughout the lifecycle of their Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) service, emphasising a collaborative approach. Their expert teams offer guidance on specific supply chain functions or across end-to-end logistics capabilities, ensuring clients maximise visibility and performance.
A key aspect of their support involves embedding the SCCT into the client's day-to-day operations. If requested, Deloitte provides an underpinning governance process to integrate the management of the end-to-end supply chain into business-as-usual activities, transforming it into a fully functional and intelligent cloud-based SCCT.
During implementation, Deloitte's agile methodology includes "realisation sprints" that provide incremental capability, enhancing cloud-based solutions and actively "supporting software adoption and upskilling over a period of time." This ensures the client's team is equipped to utilise the new capabilities effectively.
For ongoing maintenance and upgrades, Deloitte offers flexibility. While clients may be responsible for these in some cases, Deloitte explicitly states they can discuss options for either themselves or the client to carry forward the use of developed tools, including crucial "capability transfer, knowledge transfer and skills transfer." This ensures clients are well-supported in sustaining the solution long-term. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Clients start using Deloitte's Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) service through a collaborative and structured implementation process.
Initially, Deloitte's pre-developed software package is designed to "tap into your organisations cloud based data storage solutions." This involves Deloitte supporting client supply chain teams to "upload all critical data to the cloud" and then building a "seamless interface between our software and your cloud servers" to leverage a standardised dataset.
The implementation follows an agile methodology, utilising "realisation sprints" for rapid adoption of the cloud-based visualisation software. Activities within these initial sprints include "functional specifications development, data visualisation interface with cloud based solutions, cloud server integration, data cleanse and conversion, testing, training, deployment and support."
For this process to begin, clients are expected to provide key inputs, such as access to existing cloud servers and datasets, process maps of their as-is supply chain, and information about their current technology architecture. Clients also contribute by providing access to key stakeholders, relevant information, and dedicated part-time resources to the joint working team. - Service documentation

- Description of customisation
-
Deloitte's SCCT service offers significant customisation, adapting to each client's specific needs and operational context. The service is inherently flexible, catering to organisations of all sizes and their unique data volumes, whether structured or unstructured.
Clients can tailor the scope of the service by choosing to focus on a single supply chain function, such as inventory, or opt for a comprehensive end-to-end logistics capability. Deloitte explicitly states their SCCT capability supports managing the entire supply chain or "one specific element that requires particular focus."
Customisation extends to the service delivery model itself. Deloitte's approach is designed for collaboration, allowing clients to utilise their toolkit with their "specific requirements in mind." They are flexible regarding client inputs and contributions; if a client cannot provide assumed data or resources, Deloitte will discuss options to "alter our approach to accommodate your situation."
Furthermore, clients can request specific additions, such as an "underpinning governance process" to embed SCCT management into business-as-usual activities, or a governance process for rapid decision-making. The outputs also vary "depending on the services you choose." Deloitte will also "work with you to define the scope of your business and tailor our proposal" to match its scale and complexity.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- The SCCT is available 24/7 although there are some maintenance requirements which can be agreed with the client
- Approach to resilience
-
Firstly, the service leverages "cloud based data hosting solutions" and considers a "spectrum of cloud deployment models, including private cloud, community cloud, public cloud or hybrid cloud solutions." Cloud environments inherently offer a degree of resilience through distributed infrastructure, redundancy, and automated failover capabilities, though the text does not detail Deloitte's specific implementation of these.
Secondly, the Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) is described as an "enterprise application that is component-based, scalable, complex, distributed and mission critical to your organisation." The "component-based" and "distributed" nature implies that failures in one part of the system may not bring down the entire service, contributing to resilience. Its "mission critical" designation also suggests it is built with high availability in mind.
Finally, the ability to "manage an agile supply chain from any geographical location" points to a geographically dispersed and accessible system, which can contribute to operational resilience by allowing management and monitoring even if local infrastructure is affected. - Outage reporting

This ensures appropriate levels of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of information while achieving strategic security objectives. These objectives are outlined in the Security Policy and ISMS Manual, aligning with the firm’s Ambition and Purpose. Confidentiality, Privacy, and Security objectives are set by the Security Partner, agreed upon with the Managing Partner for Quality, Risk & Security, and tracked annually. Deloitte’s cybersecurity framework follows industry standards (e.g., COBIT, NIST, ISO 27001:2022) and focuses on four domains: Secure (risk-focused controls), Vigilant (threat detection and response), Resilient (incident management and recovery), and Governance (policies and procedures). The Deloitte Business Security team, as the second line of defence, includes Governance Risk & Compliance, Data Privacy, Cyber Risk, and other specialised teams. The first line Cybersecurity function, led by the UK CISO, manages cyber and technology controls. A Data Protection Officer and Data Privacy team ensure compliance with data protection laws, with annual reviews reported to the Chief Risk Officer. Deloitte prioritises security through training, audits, monitoring, and disciplinary measures, embedding a culture of protection to safeguard client data.
