AHmedia | LondonManaging Consultant
Oct. 2012LondonSince starting my own consultancy service in 2012 aimed at global CTOs and CIOs, I have been directly responsible for saving over £100 million in IT Network and Transformation costs as well as tens of thousands of man-hours through improvements in communication, governance and process. Notable programmes include: - Multi-site BPO launches using the latest AI and Contact Centre technology - Completion of a successful RFP for a major City Council's new Contact Centre platform
- Reduction of over £26m in IT costs and temporary staffing ahead of a difficult year-end
- Decreased annual operating costs of over CAD $18m through outsourcing of back-office processing to an off-shore BPO organisation
- Moving a billion-dollar company from an old expensive MPLS network to a new Azure private cloud solution enabling over $3m of savings
- Cut annual costs of voice traffic by over £3m for a UK-wide transport joint-venture As well as a rich history in serving Private sector clients, I have also worked extensively with Public sector bodies including local government and healthcare providing consultancy and procurement assistance. I specialise in explaining in clear, concise terms how technology can help to reduce the stress and anxiety felt by top executives such as CTOs when networks do not perform as expected. I can show how moving away from the fixed traditional notion of a MPLS network going into one of many fixed Data Centres not only saves a significant amount of CAPEX per year, but increases visibility and performance without compramising security.
