Technology Advisory & Assurance

We help technology teams and leaders both plan and optimise technology delivery, combining our frameworks, models and experience to provide services including:

• Development of IT and Digital Strategies and supporting roadmaps – understanding how technology can support your organisation
• IT Operating Model design and Implementation – defining how your organisation can effectively and sustainably deliver digital solutions and capability, taking advantage of modern delivery practices such as Agile
• Technology Cost Optimisation – taking a data driven and value driven approach to optimisation to technology cost
• Maturity and Effectiveness – assessing the delivery of technology services and capability, leveraging KPMG models, ITIL and other frameworks

As technology projects continue to grow in complexity, risk and often cost – we support a range of stakeholders to ensure successful delivery through either:

• Independent Quality Assurance (IQA) – providing an independent, external perspective on a project or programme’s risk profile and likelihood to deliver – as well as guidance to improve.
• Project and Programme Delivery – directly leading or assisting the delivery of technology projects and programmes

We support our clients through the entire procurement lifecycle for technology solutions, products and services. Whether you are procuring a new piece of technology, or reviewing technology contracts, we have the knowledge and experience to support you with:

• Defining and capturing your requirements
• Undertaking market scans, research or engagement
• Running commercial processes (RFI/RFP/RFx) – including document development, supplier engagement, evaluation and due diligence
• Contract review and renewal – assessment of and support in negotiation of technology contracts

Our dedicated and experienced Technology Deals team work closely with our Deal Advisory (link) team to support clients that are buying, selling, integrating or separating businesses. We believe it is critical to understand and thoroughly plan the technology aspects of any deal. We provide:

• IT Due Diligence – providing independent and informed assessments of technology environments, teams and capabilities – supporting either buy side or sell side activity, with a strong commercial and deal-value focus.
• IT Integration & Separation – technology is often the key driver of the success (or failure) of integration or separation activity. Our team provides both planning and delivery capability, built on our experience delivering these activities at scale.

We understand that every organisation is different, and that you may be at any point on a transformation journey. We combine our industry experience (particularly in regulated industries such as Financial Services) with our deep technology expertise to support you by bringing together our broad range of digital capabilities – from AI, Cloud, Data, Cyber Security, Managed Services and more to provide a holistic solution tailored to your needs, context and situation – whether you operate in the Public Sector, Financial Services, Corporate or other sectors.
