How we plan for the future
Nowadays, information technology (IT) systems play a pivotal role in most organisations’ operations, worldwide. From customer-relationship management tools (CRMs) to complex supply chain management, IT systems span across a number of different departments. As such, IT suppliers and services are in high-demand across a number of industries – often resulting in inflated pricing and agencies that are over-trading their services.
Information technology procurement is the process of analysing your business’ IT needs and assessing where changes can be made to reduce costs and enhance efficiency. IT procurement spans a huge range of services and can include:
IT hardware procurement:
Monitors, mobile devices, LaserJetprinters, network servers & wireless routers
IT software procurement:
Accounting &billing, payroll, databases, security, desktop, website building, marketing etc.
Technology procurement:
AI assistant, robotic process automation (RPA) low-code applications
IT services procurement:
Software patches, security updates and management, software support, hardware support
Global IT procurement:
international suppliers, inter-party communication systems, cloud-servers etc.
IT systems have an integral role in most businesses and as such, systems must operate efficiently to ensure the day-to-day smooth running of your business activities. Furthermore, with IT constantly evolving, it is important for businesses to stay on top of new capabilities to maintain their competitive position in the market. Nonetheless, IT supplies and contractors can be pricey, so it is important to ensure that contracts are cost-effective – delivering your business value for money.
At Arrowhead, our IT procurement experts will work with your team to thoroughly understand your IT needs, whether you’re looking to develop a small aspect of your IT processes or need a firm-wide IT transformation. Our team will then reach out to relevant IT service providers and suppliers for tenders. Having worked with a huge range of clients, we’ve developed relationships with a range of providers, ensuring that you have access to the best IT procurement contracts on the market.
In today’s digital era it is unsurprising that many businesses are turning to procurement firms to design and implement organisation-wide IT transformations. IT innovations present businesses with smarter and faster technologies that can improve internal processes and better align organisational activities with business goals and consumer demand. The side-effect of implementing such innovations include more streamlined supply chain management, enhanced customer experience, increased profitability and lower production costs.
At Arrowhead we help businesses to establish innovation opportunities and to source and implement the relevant digital solutions. With a dedicated in-house transformation director, our team offers outstanding experience in delivering technology transformation projects across various industries including with Capgemini, ARM and Arriva as well as the formation of a multimillion-pound technology solutions business.
Whilst technological advancement offers huge opportunities for businesses, it also presents increased risk. With the growing use of cloud-based servers to store important documents and customer information, it is more important than ever that businesses are able to safeguard their operations against cyber threats.
A robust security strategy is essential for businesses to protect invaluable internal resources, as well as to give customers peace of mind that their personal data is safe from malware and hackers. At Arrowhead, our team can help stakeholders to establish potential areas of weakness within your digital operations and to establish the relevant software or internal operational capabilities needed to mitigate such risks.
