Providing smart solutions to new challenges

PA Consulting Group has a clear track record of helping companies deliver innovative, smart technology solutions to meet today’s business challenges cost-effectively.

In this challenging and volatile environment, CIOs are facing increasing demands from CEOs and senior business executives for the rapid deployment of agile, innovative technical solutions to meet the demands of a fast-moving business. Yet these demands have to be met in a context where costs and staffing have been cut and where the basics of the business still need to be maintained.

Through our innovation unit, we help clients identify both short and long-term technology trends and, with a practical perspective, understand how these trends, individually or combined, will affect their business operations. These insights, together with our very broad range of delivery experience, outstanding technical skills and industry consulting knowledge, mean we have a detailed understanding of what makes projects work and how to get them delivering results quickly.

We take a user-centred design approach, with close engagement to define the best user experience. We also have the ability to deploy prototypes rapidly. This means we can identify clients’ detailed requirements at an early stage and then minimise the amount of rework needed later, which accelerates delivery and reduces costs.

Our work with clients includes:

• providing strategic, technical and implementation support for mobile business solutions, such as JCDecaux’s real time advertising verification system.

• designing and developing the next generation of intranet and employee engagement tools to meet the needs of staff in and out of the office.

• providing enhanced business intelligence and information services, such as an innovative benchmark performance management system for Partnerships for Schools.

• achieving greater take up of online public services through improved design and more attractive customer interfaces,

• automating and improving internal operations through delivery of rapid productivity tools,
