Careful project planning and project management disciplines are vital. Adherence to strict project management disciplines is fundamental. We never let the discipline slip. We never let a client down. We will never let a project beat us.
Catalyst
We help clients to create shared solutions; we do not impose solutions. We have to be good listeners, work co-operatively with you and understand your business concerns. By helping clients understand the technical possibilities, and by working with clients to gain a clear understanding of business goals, we catalyse the solution's development. We then design, develop, support, and if appropriate, can host the solution either as an independent service or in close partnership with the client's own IT services team.
Tailored solutions
At Thorogood our tailored approach means "Off the shelf" solutions are rare
We tailor our approach to each client's circumstances. We use technologies to tailor elegant, cost effective and integrated solutions exactly to needs, rather than implement packaged software solutions that are over-engineered and hard to change. We use our knowledge to provide creative, lean and adaptable solutions. We have rarely met a client who could live with a standard solution.
Knowledge sharing
While each assignment has a dedicated team, we encourage active sharing of technical knowledge between our consultants. This ensures clients get the full benefit of Thorogood company expertise. We value consultants with impressive technical abilities who share their knowledge with colleagues. This key contribution is also recognised in our team reward schemes.
Client confidentiality
Many clients are happy to co-operate in our publication of case studies. Identifying them by name, describing the issues that they had, and explaining the solution, they, as well as us, are proud of the results. They are also prepared to provide references for us to new clients. We are grateful for this but we are correspondingly careful not to discuss our clients, or their business, outside these approved contexts.
