Managing Director, It Advisor And Consultant
CurrentWindsor Group’s engagements are comprised of three phases: Assessment, Selection, Contract.The 6-10 week Assessment covers all or selective IT services (Data Center, Network, End User Support, Service Desk, Cloud Services, Security and/or Applications), and involves a review of staffing, technology used, financials and strategy to develop a profile of the client's IT services. We take that profile, anonymously, to one or more of our partner service provider firms to develop potential solutions and rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) pricing aimed at reducing the client’s costs, improving their levels of services, and/or achieving the client's transformation objectives.If our client is interested in one or more of the potential solutions, we introduce the vendor(s) to the client and begin a 8-12 week series of collaborative strategy and solution workshops that lead up to a more formal solution proposal(s) for the client to make a more informed choice.After the client has decided on the vendor and solution, the final phase is due diligence and contract negotiations. The timeframe is dependent on the client’s legal and contractual negotiation rigor, but generally takes 8-16 weeks.Ken specializes in performing Assessments, formulating client strategy, developing solutions with our partner providers, and creating formal business cases for the proposed solution(s). Ken has extensive executive experience on all sides of the sourcing table: client, provider, and advisor.
