IT Director - Aero Inventory
“Our relationship with Square One began in 2006. I had recently accepted the position of IT Executive Director at a time where our business was the fastest growing company listed on the Aim Exchange, and at a time when Aero Inventory was engaged in a bid for a $1.6b contract for Qantas. I immediately recognised the need for a total IT Transformation programme to deliver these key items. With very little time and with an under resourced permanent team, I chose to engage a Managed Service Provider to assist us in delivering the necessary Change Programme. After a tendering process against our criteria and stringent due diligence, Square One were successful in winning the bid.
Square One was able to provide industry, and technical expertise, and a full team had been assembled and co-located within days of the contract being won!
This team, together with Square Ones close on site management, have allowed us to deliver several successful developments and we have successfully won and implemented the Qantas contract. I now have a balanced ratio of permanent and outsourced capability. We have retained total IPR and control.
Square Ones work has consistently been to a very high quality and fully compliant to industry standards, addressing the needs of both my IT perspective, and that of our business.”
Man Investments - Study
After delivering to Man Investments for over 2 years, Square One had the in-depth knowledge and understanding of them as a business, their industry, as well as the IT market. In order to meet the resource demands of Man Investments in the short, medium and long term, Square One proposed to implement a Master Vendor solution to meet the challenges of their growing business with high volume recruitment plans.
Since the implementation of the Master Vendor solution, Square One has provided an effective and timely service, offering best value through the highest possible level of service and the most efficient solution.
