IT Auditing

After payroll, IT support costs are often the largest controllable expense for many organisations.
Unfortunately, very few companies fully utilise the rewards from effective and regular auditing services which can be a very efficient way of streamlining costs and improving cash-flow.

Utilising tried and tested partners, we can arrange to:

• Identify & implement savings across entire ICT voice & data infrastructures including, Hardware, Service contracts, project resources, IT disposals & assets
• Improve how goods and services are sourced, whilst rationalizing supply chains
• Utilise market leading software tools to provide detailed analysis & alternative solutions to predict potential savings
• Offer contractual cost reduction guarantees (average results are 22% in the private sector and 28% in the public sector)
• Offer seamless transactions with no disruptions to day-to-day business.
• Offer an open and transparent no win-no fee arrangement

Some common mistakes where the service is most beneficial:

• Paying for disconnected or unused network equipment
• Receiving duplicate charges by not cancelling rolling contracts
• Paying for redundant maintenance contracts
• Paying a sales tax, in particular VAT, in countries where the services did not originate
• Paying for inappropriately high SLA’s
• Paying for unsanctioned additional services & calls which are outside contract terms
• Failing to pro-rate equipment schedules with contract terms
• Inefficiency within support models, such as pay-as-you-go or storing spares on site

This is also a great tool when carrying out due diligence in the acquisition stages of an investment and also a way of demonstrating efficiency or understanding valuation when selling an investment.
