IT Governance
IT governance provides a structure for managing and growing your IT environment. IT Governance provides value and assurance to an organisation by delivering compliance, guaranteeing quality, adherence to best practices, and ultimately protects the business.
Organisations today are subject to many regulations governing the protection of confidential information, financial accountability, data retention and disaster recovery, among others. Saros can guide you through this minefield of risks and compliance, allowing you to focus on your business.
Saros provide independent review, assessments and audit services relating today’s top Governance, Risk & Compliance concerns.
We offer a full IT governance service in the following areas:
- Risk Management
- Regulatory Compliance
- Policies, Processes and Procedures
- IT Security
- Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
- IT Service Management
- IT Best Practice
- Performance Management
- Project Governance
- Procurement/Vendor Management
A large legal firm required Saros to review their current IT department structure and Project Management Office, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery systems, and current nonpreforming systems against best practice. There were large areas of IT that were perceived to be a possible risk and independent advice was sought.
Saros delivered a comprehensive gap analysis of their current state, with a remediation plan covering all areas. By doing so, the business had a clear path, without ambiguity to reach their desired levels of governance and performance.
We used Saros Consulting to help us with the tendering out of our comprehensive IT contract, our IT strategy and a project review. They helped us focus our requirements and as a direct result of their help, we found an ideal IT contractor to partner with, have reduced cost on a range of projects and are now implementing our IT strategy.
We understood we needed to invest in our IT infrastructure, focusing on disaster recovery and business continuity. Aware that there are many different IT solutions available, we required expert IT advice and thus engaged Saros Consulting. A pragmatic approach was taken by Saros using their own methodology. A full strategic assessment of the requirement was undertaken and findings presented back in a clear, concise manner. Following the assessment Saros developed an IT strategy that included independent solutions to our business challenges. We have been very satisfied with the service and professionalism of Saros and are continuing to use their project management services for additional projects.
Saros Consulting have been charged to work alongside our property services division on the build and fit-out of our new international offices. Saros clearly have a comprehensive understanding of our IT requirements and have the ability to lay out precisely these requirements for each project. The property services team benefit greatly from working alongside Saros and without Saros’ efforts the projects would struggle to achieve the high standards required. I am hugely impressed with the Saros team.
Our organisation, an international financial advisory group, was in the process of transitioning our European entity to Ireland. We required assistance with the planning and implementation of IT systems and services to ensure this transition was seamless. We engaged Saros Consulting to manage the project in its entirety and have been impressed with their agility, knowledge and ability.
