Technical support arrangements, covering everything from service desks to hardware fixes and software patching — with the right SLAs, escalation paths, and performance remedies in place.

Blending multiple service providers within a unified IT operating model. We help clients manage interdependencies, avoid gaps and overlaps, and ensure contractual consistency.
Ongoing responsibility for specific IT functions (e.g. network operations or application management), typically delivered on a recurring basis — with governance structures and risk management baked in.
