Why choose us for IT project management?

WE WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR GOALS

Project management isn’t just about fixing problems. We know it means much more than that. That’s why we work alongside your company goals and aspirations for the best project delivery possible. We help empower your organisation to enable a new level of development and efficiency.

OUR PROFESSIONAL PROJECT TEAMS HAVE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTABILITY

Our project management teams are made up of highly skilled and experienced IT professionals with individual accountability. This ensures each team member, whether it be our Project Managers, Change Managers or System Analysts, deliver consistent and successful projects for our clients. We use a pragmatic approach, led by one of our Delivery Managers, who ensures excellent project governance and assurance. Working with all the key stakeholders, we can deliver a smooth and seamless project that benefits everyone involved.

ON-TIME, TO SCOPE AND WITHIN BUDGET

We believe that every investment should return a clear and attractive return on investment. IT projects are no different, but they require a certain level of knowledge and expertise to execute successfully. Often, in-house IT teams don’t have the skills or time to deliver complex IT projects. Managing a team of IT professionals, ensuring effective communication and hitting deadlines while staying under budget is no small feat, but it’s a role that Optimising IT thrives in. We know from experience all the necessary elements required to get a project delivered on time, to scope and within budget.

OUR TRAINING IS A PRIORITY

Our criteria for acquiring new staff are strict and thorough to ensure we only add excellence to our already highly professional IT professionals team. We’re committed to continuous learning to ensure we’re always ahead of the game and offer only the best advice and work level.
