Case Study

Avis was driving a number of strategic change initiatives across the IT support services function.

The Challenge

They asked us work with them on two distinct engagements:

Leading the development of a vision, strategy and corresponding Target Operating Model (TOM) over service, infrastructure and operations management
Migration of Avis to Office 365 including program governance and security and compliance review

The Solution

As part of the initial TOM engagement the key deliverables were defined to be:

An agreed set of Target Operating Model design principles
An IT Services and Operations vision statement and ‘strategy on a page’
An agreed set of key Target Operating Model components
A project plan with a prioritised set of tasks including a draft Target Operating Model and a high-level organisation design

The following approach was executed:

A series of workshops with the senior management team were carried out along with a number of one to ones with designated senior stakeholders from IT and the business
Design principles were agreed at the outset of the assignment

For the second (O365) engagement we were responsible from business engagement through to assurance, which involved:

Multi-tiered structure stakeholder mapping
Business engagement and communications stream
Identification of legacy technical debt and readiness
Apps stream
Deployment/migration
Service management/transition – readiness, handover to BAU
Security and compliance
Awareness & adoption
A Programme Assessment and Healthcheck to identify areas of risk and required remediation

The Results

10k users onboarded

Acquisition carried out in 7 countries

Deployment successful across all 15 countries
