The delivery
of increasingly complex and integrated solutions is challenging for many UK companies. IT departments can cover core
product sets but need additional skills and resources for specific requirements or elements of a larger project. Rather than
recruiting their own engineers more and more are looking to partners to handle small specialist projects or provide additional
resources to work with their own project teams. This is proving to be far more cost effective as they can flex and respond
to demand without carrying a large in-house team.
PKF IT Services Ltd (PKF), is a specialist ICT Project
and Professional Services organisation offering access to a broad range of technical and engineering skills across the entire
ICT infrastructure, from telephony, data networking and security to servers, applications, storage solutions and data centres.
PKF delivers the right level of skills and resources when and where needed. PKF also provide complete Lifecycle Project Management Services
from initial assessments, planning and design, through to implementation, deployment and support. With a known and proven
team of trained and experienced ICT engineers and consultants, PKF can address multi-vendor, multi-site engagements that
achieve the expected margin returns.
PKF ensures projects are delivered on time, to budget and with no surprises. Regular
updates on status and changes to scope are communicated and each stage is agreed and authorised along with the production
of any documentation. This minimises project creep and ensures objectives and ultimately customer satisfaction is achieved. The PKF's Virtual Team Approach mitigates
risks, reduces costs and presents a true extension to stretched and limited in-house resources. In addition
it brings a high level of technical experience, knowledge, contacts and confidentiality.

The PKF Approach PKF understands the complexity of delivering ICT projects that meet customer's
objectives and expectations, on time and to budget. PKF's experienced Project Management staff backed by robust
and proven processes based on Prince ll and ITIL' Best Practices' methodologies; manage a range of proven and trusted
engineers that have been used time and time again to successfully complete projects.
Engagements can be as short as one or two days where there is a requirement for an engineer with specialist
knowledge and skills to troubleshoot a particular issue or install a new technology solution. Alternatively a Client
may require a full roll out and deployment service where PKF works with the Client’s in-house team to complement
and add to their resources.
PKF's
Project Managers can be involved from the initial planning
and design meetings and then help with the preparation and organisation of the implementation, once the scope has been agreed.
This can include the procurement of certain equipment, staging, pre-build, configuration and testing prior to deployment. PKF then introduce individuals or teams of engineers with different
levels of knowledge and expertise, depending on the requirement. This can be a combination of skill types or multiple engineers
distributed throughout the country. Through this agile approach PKF is able to offer a better quality solution, with
higher levels of flexibility and scalability, in a way that is more cost effective than traditional models. For example PKF's engineers do not
need to be continuously working on a project but can be retained and used on an intermittent basis when specific activities
are required. These engineers integrate seamlessly with the Client’s
in-house teams and follow the same processes, carrying out specific tasks and activities, communicating back progress.
Cost control, change management, user liaison and after installation support all form part of Empowered’s project
support service.
PKF
has access to over 250 top accredited individuals across a multitude of technology sets including:
