Oakland 'beefs' up ABP's tender process

After assessing the objectives, risks and the size of our ‘Externally hosted, fully managed service’ re-tender for a 20+ server environment, it was clear that we needed an experienced partner to lead us through the process.

Working in collaboration with Gordon McKenzie of Oakland meant that we had a clearly defined and easy to understand project plan aimed at meeting agreed contract & service improvements and financial targets.
