Social housing sector

Change is a fact of life for social housing organisations. So is technology. If you can cope with both - fine. Not sure? That's also fine. We might be able to help.

Defining an ICT strategy which supports your business aims is the first priority. Putting the governance arrangements in place to ensure it is implemented is the next. And regular reviews of your ICT service, preferably comparative reviews against peer organisations, are essential too.

In a dynamic environment, we can support you with programme and project management around the specification, procurement and implementation of new systems and technologies (including smart cards, telecoms and security). Our services go beyond the technical issues to encompass change management and business process re-engineering, including process mapping and the key challenge of helping your people buy into the change programme.

The efficiency review represents a further challenge - and an opportunity. Here too we can help, by bringing focus to the task of defining where efficiencies can be found and putting in place the performance management and other systems required to deliver and monitor progress.

If you are in the business of social housing, you depend upon Information and Communications Technology to run your organisation and deliver services to your customers. We can help you do it better, and more efficiently.
