- How the planning service works
-
AllThorpe offers the use of a proven delivery framework that is strongly rooted in simplicity and pragmatism. No proprietary tools are used, ensuring our clients are familiar, comfortable and confident in the decisions being made and the pace at which the work is being delivered.
The approach to planning considers the following features:
1) Available resource capabilities
2) Budget and urgency of priorities
3) Existing constraints and the options
4) Operational risks
5) Potential for additional value
6) Organisational strategy
7) Technology and sector trends
8) Information management
Our planning creates a sense of urgency by driving the completion of tangible milestones as early as possible and generates grip by having granular visibility of tasks as they are worked rather than completed. Underpinning the framework is a priority towards flexibility, responsiveness to surprises and proactive management of risks. These characteristics of our planning approach allows for a plan that is robust, resilient and efficient.
All planning is developed in collaboration and is integrated with the organisation’s other priorities. The people aspect of the plans will include capability and career development, serving the needs of individuals while creating greater organisational resilience in support of the technology and business solutions being deployed. - Planning service works with specific services

- How the setup or migration service works
-
AllThorpe offers a comprehensive migration service based on experienced gained deploying wholesale transformation into law-enforcement where continuity of service and minimal operational disruption are critical. The approach to migration addresses three distinct phases:
1) The setup and preparation, focuses on preparing the people impacted by change and setting up the technology so it is ready for immediate use in a manner that does not compromise the organisation’s operational ability, this normally refers to data having been migrated and accessible as part of usual business.
2) The go-live events, establishing a hyper-care bubble around the people, technology and external stakeholders
3) This stage can range from hours to weeks and serves to reduce all forms of risk and maximises the success of the endeavour.
4) Transition, aims to move the business change towards a sustainable, efficient and embedded way of working, responding to the lessons from the go-live event and withdrawing the additional support in a controlled manner.
Setting up the service and migration across to it, is managed in a manner that continually adapts and responds to lessons learned. The goal is to manage risk, keep the migration to a minimum, and to ensure the benefits sought are not lost. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services
