The Challenge
‘The organization previously lacked an established IT sourcing practice with defined processes and roles & responsibilities. There was little insight into current IT spends and contracts, and no tooling or comprehensive information management system in place for monitoring IT expenditures. Despite these challenges, the company embarked on a large-scale transformation program, requiring multiple software and partner selections to be made within an agreed budget, ultimately striving to modernize and streamline operations across the entire organization.
