About the Customer
For well over a decade, we have supported one of the UK’s most established motoring organisations by providing a range of IT solutions and services. We host many of their racks in our secure data centres, enabling them to use co-location services and to increase their resilience.
This supports them in delivery of their day-to-day operations, which include providing vehicle insurance, breakdown recovery and vehicle finance services.
[The customer] is now in a very good position with their digital transformation journey, and that progress has been accelerated by the extra support from our specialists. Our Rapid IT Workforce is acting as an extension of their internal IT team in every sense – they all work together really well. Having them on board not only takes the pressure off [the customer’s] team, but the extra expertise and capacity means none of their essential ‘business as usual’ operations have to suffer in the name of progress.

The Challenge
Back in October 2019, we provided the customer with their first Rapid IT Workforce (RITW) resource. This individual was brought in as a Unified Communications Engineer and did such a great job that the business took him on permanently in 2022. By April 2021 it became apparent to the customer that onboarding new staff or the project (which could sometimes take over three months) was not sustainable. Our RITW enabled them to bring in the required skills swiftly as needed - in some instances, within just our or five days. This meant that hold-ups and delays in work were avoided.
We have also worked with the customer to ensure they remain ully compliant with IR35 legislation. Following a thorough assessment, we have supplied them with multiple skill sets including, but not limited to, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Deployment Engineers, PMO Analysts and much more.

The Results
Engaging in our flexible resourcing model has enabled this customer to scale its team to fit its current and ongoing business requirements as they change. The quality of both the individuals onboarded and the service provided has led to recommendations across other groups within the business.
*The initial engagement was with Daisy, acquired by Wavenet in 2024.
