Services

Galeotes provides it's clients with a range of services to support their strategic definition needs. The experience our team can offer can be on an ad hoc basis or we can provide tailored engagements that fall into the categories below:

Procurement

The current economic climate means that clients are increasingly focusing on delivering cost savings. Our experience over the years with the telecommunications industry has driven us to deliver unique procurement processes to assist our clients in obtaining the best value for money services from the telecommunications suppliers. These processes will deliver material savings to your organisation. Indeed over the last three years we have delivered proposals from vendors that have delivered between 35-55% savings, normally with an improved set of services.

Strategic Partnership

Our forte is understanding the cutting edge technologies and their potential impact and use for corporate network environments across voice, video and data. In addition we have significant security capability and experience to assist in setting strategy and design solutions. We will provide a set of services that can be used by any blue chips to augment their understanding of the technology horizons and also to develop technology visions and strategies in the network and security arena. Our experience of working within a major blue chip gives a unique perspective where we have actually delivered and is not just academic.

Visioning
Providing one off services to audit, challenge and provide alternative inputs to your strategic process.

Partnering
Providing long term and regular input to understand the network topologies the long term business and technology strategies of client companies and to be part of your strategic team.

Technology Radar
Using a commonly accepted model, we can provide objective review of upcoming technologies and by agreeing a value model identify those technologies that will provide best value to your organisation.

Pure Research

We can provide the resource to be able to undertake pure/investigative research into the use of new devices and technology.

These pure research activities can be

a) undertaken on demand.
b) from the output of technology radar investigations and benchmarking.

These services would also include device and technology evaluation and provide reports on where and how well the devices/technology would fit into an organisation's infrastructure.

Technology Kickstart

We can provide is our 'Technology Kickstart' services. This is where we get client companies up to speed very swiftly in a new technology area that we have great theoretical and practical experience. We would hand over this knowledge in order that the clients can then implement the corporate wide solution with us providing guidance and advice.

Benchmarking

This is the process of comparing and contrasting strategies of other major 3rd party organisations, providing you with apple for apple comparisons. Our experience is that this can provide significant alternative insights to solutions that could be used within your organisation. The trick is to ensure the context of the alternative solutions is understood to ensure that any ideas will work within the context of your organisation.

Network Audit

We can work with companies to undertake network topology audits, to build appropriate models in order that benchmarking work can be then be undertaken and compared. This network audit can be aligned to the cost benchmarking. These audits can be simply activities to identify what a company has, but further added value work could be undertaken to identify

a) quick wins.
b) long term network strategies.
