IT Program Management

Technology is at the core of today's corporate world. Many processes require highly optimized software solutions. Essential benefits come with a strong dependency on highly available and complex IT products.

What we've seen over the past years is that the role of IT in Business Transformations is often underestimated, resulting in business disruptions and projects failing to reach their time, cost and quality targets. Our goal is to best possibly support your transformation teams and ensure technology can act as the strong partner and enabler.

Next to business transformations we focus our IT advisory on two selected fields. First we partner with you on IT Outsourcing and Offshoring (O&O) projects. In the past we have encountered many scenarios where the O&O strategy and Shared Service Centers are struggling due to various reasons. Here we partner you with our experts to jointly assess the status quo and define the way forward to ensure a successful O&O implementation is achieved.

Second we offer our experience in the Capital Markets IT world. Via direct interaction between the Front Office (F/O) trading teams and their IT counterparts we assist you with Senior IT Program Management experience. We focus our support on Trading Technology and Regulatory Reporting Projects.
