Bring Your Own Device

Categories // Featured, Latest News, Blog

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), one of the latest terms ‘trending’ in the market place, is the idea that company employees can use their own personal devices, for work purposes to access and use company applications and data.

For any IT Manager, the idea of letting an employee loose within the corporate network, with a device of which he has no knowledge, on hardware with unclear specification and running an Operating System over which he has no control, could lead to nightmares or, at minimum, sleepless nights.

Categories // Featured, Latest News, Blog

The role of a Service Delivery Manager within the Managed Service Industry and why Service Delivery Management is integral to the services we sell to our customers.

Service Delivery Manager is a role/title that is used in industries ranging from Hospitality to Construction, in fact looking on a well-known internet recruitment site today there were over 10,000 Service Delivery Manager (SDM) roles posted in the past 7 days.

Frequently our sales teams find the need to explain the SDM role in the context of the IT Managed Service Industry and demonstrate why Service Delivery Management is integral to the services we sell to our customers.

Beach Volleyball and Managed Services

Categories // Featured, Blog

CEO Martin Mackay shares his opinions on the parallels between the Olympics and a customer centric Managed Services solution.

Over the first weekend of the Olympics I was fortunate to attend the Beach Volleyball. Everyone will have his or her opinion as to the merits of this sport’s inclusion in the Games - after all, it was more a party than sport, with loud music after every point contributing to the atmosphere that was more resonant of the Copacabana than Horseguard’s Parade – but the competitive intensity, the excitement and the skill of the competitors could not be dampened by the rain, which did indeed threaten to turn the event into mud-wrestling at one point.

With Canary Wharf Group and Deloitte’s undertaking an IT, telecoms and transport infrastructure ‘Stress Test’ in May – which involved companies across the capital (representing about 21,000 staff) testing business’s IT and telecommunication capabilities and how easily their staff could work flexibly – the rise in flexible working, travel disruption and staff unavailability is both expected and planned for.

Tim Clegg, SaintGroup' Head Of Transformation And Microsoft Champion Provides Some Insight Why Windows 8 Is Ready For Business And A Key To This Is Supporting A Convergent Device Strategy.

I recently watched an edition of the Channel 4 program ‘Undercover Millionaire’. Now some will enjoy the fly on the wall documentary, and some will not, nevertheless I couldn’t help but be humbled as several less fortunate folks were given a huge boost by the recognition provided. This reminded me of a recent letter we received at SaintGroup from a customer, importantly, highlighting how the services used impact their ability to deliver to their Core Purpose as a business. “The service SaintGroup delivers makes a direct difference to the lives of people in difficult situations and they are frustrated when hampered in their efforts.  I guess we are the ones that feel the heat when their passion is slowed!”

The importance of Trust

Categories // Featured, Blog

Stephen Covey Jr. in his book “The Speed of Trust” highlights trust as “the one thing that changes everything”. In essence, his idea is that where trust exists, speed increases and costs decrease, with of course the corollary that a lack of trust decreases speed and increases costs being equally true. The impact of global terrorism on air travel is probably the clearest example of his thesis in action.
