Professional, helpful and focused consulting in enterprise information software for public sector organisations

Infocycle offers independent-minded, practical and informed support, consultancy and management services for all aspects of enterprise information software implementation in large public sector and neo-public sector organisations. Our primary aims are cost-control and to-timetable delivery, expert and accurate product selection and the professional understanding of service delivery in the Shared Services and customer-centric agendas.

Operating areas

Enterprise information can cover many products and specialisms; Infocycle has particularly strong experience and knowledge bases in the fields of content management, document management, search technology and knowledge management, business process modelling and development and customer relationship management software. Combinations of these technologies can resolve many enterprise information requirements, ranging from product integrations and niche solutions to fully-fledged organisation-wide upgrades and new technology migrations.

Infocycle aims to be pragmatic, business-focused and cost-concious and is strongly concerned with results both for customers and the organisation. Our requirement and specification methods seek to establish clearly the client's goals, resources and difficulties and incorporate these into workable plans. We prefer direct ways of solving issues and seek to avoid excessively expensive solutions. Our advice is independent, product-agnostic and objective and not bound to any one family of products or vendors.

We are fully familiar with operating in complex procurement environments and bringing together multple sources of supply, contract management and the many issues and interest groups that often surround enterprise information software solutions. Our aim is to accurately reach the right solution to match management goals and to understand the people requirements of projects, including the aims and goals of those involved in the different aspects of service supply in the organisation. Today's enterprise information solutions are often more about bringing together goals and people-oriented needs than they are about the technical aspects of software project delivery; we straddle both sides of this equation, bringing clear, comprehensible knowledge and expertise to both.

Procurement advice, programme management and service delivery

Core Infocycle offerings are procurement advice, which is independent and places customer needs first, programme management, which is people-centric, business-focused and cost-effective and service delivery management, which emphasises the needs of customers in and of the public sector above those of service suppliers. Each service is planned and negotiated with customer management, is transparent and clearly defined and operates in a structured manner. The main aim of Infocycle is to offer public sector management close management of suppliers and delivery processes so that organisational goals can be accurately met, at the same time as bringing together accurate, timely information about the whole range of product, project and customer needs.
