The implementation; the plan, the team they put behind, the comms to contractors, the one-to-one meetings as required, the leadership team briefings that they attended. Everything from start to finish, including the cutover, was seamless. Dare I say it felt more BAU than a major change project! Their culture; what a team! Down to earth, no egos, happy to get their hands dirty, able to cope with the many questions from our info sec and data teams, happy to stick with our recommended technology platform (even when they had a different solution in place for other clients). The flexibility shown was appreciated throughout. The investment from their senior leadership team; the CEO, the COO, plus many others across their SLT have played key roles in almost every meeting.
