Customer-Centric Metrics
Customer Satisfaction: We track metrics such as Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer satisfaction ratings to gauge the effectiveness of our digital solutions in meeting customer needs and enhancing their experience.
Retention and Loyalty: Success is measured by improvements in customer retention rates and increases in customer lifetime value, demonstrating the ability of our initiatives to build lasting relationships with your audience.
Operational Efficiency
Process Optimisation: We evaluate success by measuring improvements in operational efficiency and productivity resulting from our digital transformation efforts, such as reduced cycle times and streamlined workflows.
Cost Reduction: Success is quantified by cost savings achieved through process automation, resource optimisation, and other efficiency-driven initiatives, contributing to overall business profitability.
Innovation and Agility
Speed to Market: We assess success by the speed at which new products, services, or features are brought to market, reflecting our ability to innovate and respond quickly to changing market demands.
Culture of Innovation: Success is measured by the cultivation of a culture of innovation within your organisation, characterised by continuous experimentation, learning, and adaptation to drive sustainable growth.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Actionable Insights: We gauge success by the quality and depth of actionable insights derived from data analytics, empowering your leadership team to make informed decisions that drive business performance.
ROI and Performance Metrics: Success is quantified by the return on investment (ROI) generated by our digital initiatives and the achievement of predefined performance metrics and targets.

Solutions We Can Enable
Workplace
Workplace solutions include the client computing devices, software and connectivity to enable the workforce to access business applications; to communicate with other employees, partners and customers; and to create content using productivity software.
Business
Business solutions are delivered by IT to enable product and external customer focused business capabilities that enable the business to win, serve, and retain customers.
Shared & Corporate
Shared & Corporate solutions are delivered by IT to enable internally focused corporate services that automate and support the organisation’s internal operations. These are often referred to as business support or shared services that enable the core operating capabilities of an enterprise or organisation (e.g. Finance, Human Resources, Legal, etc.).
Delivery
Delivery solutions are those to build, deploy, support, and operate the Workplace solutions, Business solutions, and Shared & Corporate solutions. Development services create and change business-facing services, typically through projects. Additional support and operations services assist users and ensure the availability of the business-facing services.
Platform
Platform solutions include the application infrastructure (database, middleware, etc.) that enables business-facing applications and services. Typically, these are not directly consumed by users. They are components required by the end user, business application and shared application services (see below for the latter two types). However, for some IT operating models, the shared “infrastructure and operations group” may directly provide these Platform Services to their customers.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure solutions include the core infrastructure — facilities, compute, storage and network services — that are required to deliver any technology automation. Typically, these are not directly consumed by users. However, for some IT operating models, a shared “infrastructure and operations group” may directly provide these Infrastructure Services to their customers.
