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.
Oakland managed the process throughout ensuring that our effort was minimised and only required when relevant and in the knowledge areas where our contribution was value-add.
The timely and positive results of the whole tender project are testament to Gordon’s credible knowledge of the industry, professional and unbiased approach. Gordon, in particular, was able to understand the ABP business profile, constraints and needs which I am sure all contributed to the successful project outcome.
