Consultancy & Project Management

Strategic consultancy starts with the analysis of our clients’ current IT strategy, and the understanding of their organisations’ challenges. We discuss the plans for the future, both with regards to the IT infrastructure, and the business goals. On the basis of our findings, we develop an IT strategy for the business, confirm it with our clients, and implement it over a fixed term.

We will ensure that existing systems and applications are leveraged wherever conceivable, and that the business operations are impacted as little as possible.

ICS has vast experience in end-to-end delivery of infrastructure projects for securities and banking firms, trading rooms and many Blue Chip clients within the City. ICS as part of any project they undertake will instigate a Project Office programme of client and vendor project meetings and governance with the sole objective of achieving the required in-service dates whilst delivering all objectives on time and on budget in line with the stated client business and financial drivers. The ICS Consultant will chair the Project Steering Committee which will include key stakeholders from the client’s IT team and senior management.

ICS will continuously provide active on-site management of the project during the entire project lifecycle in order to ensure success. The Project Manager will provide status reports on a weekly basis. Other regular reports will include resource requirements, performance against budget and planned timeline, and analysis of critical path deliverables.

The ICS Project Manager will continuously monitor for critical risks – both in the project and in the post-implementation deliverables – and take responsibility for planning for mitigation. Where necessary any issues will be escalated to the Project Steering Committee.

ICS delivers consultancy & project management through a coordinated team of experts. Each is a specialist within their field with all relevant qualifications and delivery experience. Integrating the team and delivering the business solution will be a project director whose broad range of skills ensures that all mission critical applications, services and support systems are seamlessly delivered utilising a proven solution methodology.

Using an integrated team to deliver solutions on a short timescale ensures that no one dependency will impact your project and guarantees continuity of both reporting and delivery.
