Asset Management - Law firm

I act as virtual IT Manager for several small legal/financial organisations based in the UK and one in Singapore. I have been able to bring them into the Modern Workplace and wean them off the need to constantly send emails. They are now a more agile business and can react accordingly.

Not for Profit

I’m working with several charitable organisations who want top class service but don’t have the resources or money to allocate funds or time to keeping things running. If you run a NFP organisation, particularly one that cares for our planet and its inhabitants, please get in touch.

International Investment Bank

Some short term projects can blossom into long term partnerships, as did the one with one of the UK leading banks. The internally hosted SharePoint platform was new to the bank, and our work was directly with the end user teams both in the UK and Asia Pacific (APAC). Having SharePoint installed is only a small part and the teams needed more information, and a streamlined way of working. We established the teams’ metadata needs and I provided dashboards, streamlined decision making processes and records management inventories, as well as more localised versions of the full organisational intranet.

Our enthusiastic approach showed that there was a much more streamlined way of working within teams and groups, than purely pumping out loads of emails and then following them up with regular online meetings.

Pensions provider

A London-based trusted pensions provider wanted a greenfield SharePoint installation, and I was appointed to streamline decision making and advise the company when dealing with Microsoft Gold Partners.

Mass Transit provider

Harnessing the power of the SharePoint platform, I helped re-shape the way the organisation used the product, taking it from a 'vanilla site - you asked for it and you fix it up' approach to a menu driven internal consultant and supported deployment at a business level. I managed a team of SharePoint developers and brought custom SharePoint to the various businesses in the group.

Local Authority - Education

Deploying SharePoint and Exchange to over 100,000 users is a tricky task, and like many public sector teams, projects became delayed and frustration levels increased. I came onto the scene and helped calm things down and bring in some more formal project management to all. Roadshows were organised, and training provided, egos were gently massaged, and hidden agendas were brought out into the open. 

In the distant past...

Fund managers, stockbrokers, insurance providers, mailing houses, training providers, IT software houses, sports sponsorship providers and marketing agencies. I even served in the Royal Air Force as an engineer on fast jets.

It’s not just Microsoft products I can help with. I have managed office moves and relocations, system upgrades, mergers, acquisitions and many more.
