Webinar takeaways
Understand the common barriers to activating transformation
The business strategy is supreme – align IT to the business goals with VMOST
Get comfortable with uncertainty – build a roadmap with best estimates
In this webinar we talk with Whitby Seafoods MD Daniel Whittle who discusses the challenges they’ve faced as a fast-growing SME business. Over the last 10 years, they’ve more than doubled their turnover, reaching £60m in 2019.
As the business outgrew its IT systems and support service, Daniel recognised there was a gap in strategic IT leadership and a need for hands on project delivery. FluidIT brought their tools and people in to help.
Daniel Whittle: “We’re getting all sorts of benefits. The finance part of our ERP was delivered in three months, and this is a project we started eight years ago. We’ve been able to divisionalise Kilkeel and that’s freed up £500,000 of raw material funding.”
Understand the barriers
Lots of SME businesses have a small IT team that’s overseen by a busy finance director with no time to investigate new technology or manage a transformation programme. Products, services and back office functions are reliant on manual or paper-based processes and spreadsheets. Frustration is building as business growth is increasingly held back by IT.
Watch the webinar to see the common challenges facing SME businesses and how IT works in the absence of a plan.
