Many IT organisations struggle to maintain appropriate service levels as the organisation changes through mergers, acquisitions, and demergers. If unchecked,...
We understand that in areas of strategy and procurement probity issues are paramount.
We have constructed our business model and undertake all of our dealings so that there is no conflict of interest, perceived or real. We have a single customer – you.
We have extensive experience conducting infrastructure reviews and assisting with technology procurement for broad variety of organisation: from complex multi-service architectures worth tens of millions to small single service organisations.
Using TPM (Technology Procurement Methodology) we provide you with certainty and auditability while maximising the competitive tension in the process. We can assist with specific components of the process (such as RFP document preparation or response evaluation and financial modelling) or provide you with a managed end to end process. Our specialist consultants understand both the technology itself and the competitive outcomes that you seek, using this knowledge, our internal price and SLA benchmarks and our highly praised TPM process we can ensure appropriate outcomes.
Whilst we maintain a strong set of relationships with technology vendors and each of the major carriers in the Australian market we are not aligned with any technology provider and we do not accept commissions or other payments from any vendor.
we can provide you with our unique assistance in realigning your telecommunications strategy with your actual business requirements, and then using our extensive benchmark information negotiate a more attractive relationship with your existing, or new telecommunication providers.
Effective technology procurement requires specific and specialist experience and skills. With technology vendors seeking to maintain share in a contracting market, it has rarely been better time for the purchaser of new technology. Beyond Technology Consulting has significant experience working with organisations to develop technology services procurement strategies and unrivalled success in negotiating “Win Win” outcomes.
Although we have experience with helping organisations with large organisation wide IT outsourcing, we find that most organisation would benefit more from selective sourcing of specific capabilities. Level 1 IT service desk, Data centre hosting and 24*7 proactive monitoring & support are some of the more common selective sourcing opportunities.

Beyond Technology Consulting has several ways to help CFO’s and CIO’s to improve their organisation’s balance sheet. Our consultants are highly skilled in identifying how to optimise your IT costs to ensure that you are taking advantage of the technology available to your organisation.
Many organisations carry a significant IT failure risk without understanding either the potential or consequences of failure. Quantifying the latent risk, and taking steps to mitigate it not only makes good business sense, it often provides significant improvement in the efficiency and availability of “business as usual” IT service.
With the growing demands on IT departments it can be all too easy to focus on rapidly expanding capability and addressing the day-to-day challenges of running the technology. Properly aligning IT to direct business requirements, while improving the communication channels between IT and the business delivers massive efficiency and capability improvements.

In most professions where information is asymmetric (i.e. the professional could take advantage of knowing more about the subject that they are advising you on) such as Lawyers and Doctors, the governing body can deregister the professional as stop them from practicing. This does not happen with Technology professionals so conflict of interest is a critical problem. Similarly when a technologist is heavily invested in one specific technology it often becomes their go-to solution (to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail). By Maintaining our independence, Beyond Technology Consulting ensures that you are provided with unbiased and actionable advice that you can trust is free from conflict of interest and be assured that we are not monetising the advice that we provide you.
"Actionable Advice" is accessible, accurate and is advice that is provided in a language and manner that does not require technical qualifications to understand. We ensure that our recommendations are fit-for-purpose with an understanding of the context of your organisation to be both affordable and achievable.
We focus on understanding the core requirements of the business so that our advice is based on your requirements not the avaliable technology. This ensures that you don't end up with a solution looking for a problem and ensures that technology outcomes will grow with your business and flex with changes in the technology.
We focus on understanding the core requirements of the business so that our advice is based on your requirements not the avaliable technology. This combined with a bias towards flexible technology solutions helps to provide technology outcomes that will grow with your business and flex with changes in the technology.
There are two key reasons that organisations don't undertake regular independent technology reviews. Firstly many boards and executive don't know that organisations like Beyond Technology Consulting exist and they are left thinking that the only options are IT Audits that are provided by the big accounting firms that don't provide any answers or actionable advice. The second reason is that they don't feel that they understand enough about IT to be able to get value from a review. Beyond Technology Consulting understands this and have designed our organisation to provide "Actionable Advice" that is accessible, accurate and provided in a language and manner that does not require technical qualifications to understand.
