Bridge Partners offers strategic advice in the area of Information and Communications Technology to firms that use ICT as a crucial part of their business. Our strategic consultants have deep experience in how ICT works in the real world with real people. We normally work with firms over a long period in order to help evolve and grow appropriate infrastructure and key applications. Although in some cases we work on specific short term projects, in many cases we act as a long term part time member of the strategic team offering ICT advice as and when the need arises.
Strategic clients generally have between one hundred and one thousand employees and usually have a dedicated ICT team or a fully outsourced ICT service. We typically work with the board director responsible for ICT.
Over the long term relationship, the following issues are likely to surface:
- Infrastructure choices and refresh policies
- Core server technologies
- Desktop design. Improving usability
- Security costs and benefits
- Business continuity risks
- ICT staffing issues. Recruitment and retention
- Application refresh and redesign
