Our sector focussed consultants take an impartial approach to aligning IT with your business

As information technology becomes an increasingly important asset within organisations, understanding how business performance can be accelerated through the alignment and deployment of agile and scalable technologies will help drive growth and provide sustainability.

Waterstons’ Business Technology Consultants have an extensive breadth of business experience across many industry sectors and understand how to transform your information technology into a strategic enabler. Our impartiality ensures that technology is only used when it is fit for purpose and will deliver real benefits to the business.

Business Alignment and IT Strategy
Waterstons’ tried and tested methodology helps your business formulate and clarify its IT Strategy; aligning your information technology to the needs of the business. Our industry sector focus provides us with a clear understanding of your issues so we can deliver IT strategies centred on your primary strategic objectives.

System Selection
Our Business Technology Consultants are experts in business process automation and have a breadth of knowledge in sector based business systems.  Completely independent of software vendors, we can ensure you make an informed choice; help you map and define business processes and information requirements; define detailed functional specifications; and facilitate the tender process, including the production of relevant documentation, analysis of responses, vendor demonstrations and reference visits.

Business Intelligence
Empowering organisations with insight and knowledge helps drive accurate decision making and provides agility to respond quickly in a transient economic environment. Our Business Intelligence consultants help organisations define relevant key performance indicators aligned with strategic objectives. Using our unique Business Intelligence roadmap we bring together multiple data sources into a single, trusted information repository and help your business select the most appropriate technology for displaying and analysing the information.

Project Management
Many IT projects fail through a lack of pragmatic governance; poor risk management, lack of change management with business stakeholders and ill-defined project tolerances are typical reasons for failure. Waterstons has a mature project methodology for IT project delivery based on the principles of PRINCE2 and 18 years’ experience in delivering IT projects. We tailor our methodology to align with your existing internal programmes of work or gateway procedures. Our experienced Project Managers can help manage large enterprise programmes of work over a long period or can be deployed for discrete one-off engagements.
