I know that a smart IT strategy will free me up to grow my business. Barclay Jones’ Virtual IT Director service has enabled me to make educated decisions on how to invest in IT to enable this growth.
Gove Resourcing are a leading Search and Selection business specialising in FMCG executive level recruitment. Working with the most influential and niche businesses across Manufacturing, Food Service and Contract Catering, they have built up a track record of successful retained assignments over the last decade.
Gove Resourcing contacted Barclay Jones because they were looking to grow their business and wanted an IT Strategy that would enable organic growth without the stress and cost often associated with IT investment.
Barclay Jones performed an audit of Gove Resourcing’s existing IT function and investigated options for the business to implement to enable it’s growth strategy.
The following elements were crucial to Gove Resourcing’s strategy:
- They needed a secure, easy to use CRM system capable of delivering Management Information (MI) to track activity.
- They required a cost effective, business continuous and scalable IT solution, capable of remotely supporting the users and the growing needs of the business.
- They needed to understand the issues and benefits surrounding in-house versus hosted solutions.
- The IT Strategy needed to enable the growth of the sales force over multiple sites.
- The processes that the workforce adopted were to be documented and process driven.
Barclay Jones researched and documented the options appropriate to the size of the client. We worked with them to adopt an IT Strategy which would enable their growth plans. Gove Resourcing are now confident in their ability to make IT decisions that will fit their business model, and have the freedom to explore new opportunities now that their IT Strategy is aligned with the business strategy.
