 Newburn is an
independent IT/telecoms management consultancy. We offer
multi-disciplined, impartial advice to create business oriented
solutions.
Our
commitment is simple: to add value to your business - by reducing
your costs, helping to improve the service to your customers and
minimising your exposure to risk.
In our
experience, IT/telecoms issues can make or break commercial
initiatives. Organisations are under relentless pressure to improve
from competitors, customers, government regulators and
shareholders. Newburn bridges the gaps between management and
technology issues to create practical, effective solutions and
achieve co-ordinated decision making.
We
focus on the effective management of technological issues,
operating in three key areas:
- Technical
Consultancy
- Management
Consultancy
- IT
Outsourcing
Some
examples of our services
Cost
reduction
Cutting or delaying
projects, may deliver one-off, short term savings but this approach
could deny more substantial rewards. Adopting Newburn's PPT
methodology will
deliver a much bigger prize.
Voice
over IP (VoIP) - independent evaluation of potential
savings
A
multinational organisation had been receiving pitches from VoIP
vendors and equipment suppliers suggesting that VoIP could reduce
its expenditure on fixed voice calls by significant amounts.
Newburn Consulting was asked to complete an independent review of
the costs and benefits of VoIP. We provided a balanced assessment
of the costs including the required investment in new equipment and
other 'hidden' costs. In order to run VoIP services, networks
needed upgrading and there were compatibility issues to be
addressed for a seamless service to be provided. We compared the
costs of VoIP with existing fixed voice call cost projections and
enabled our client to make a balanced decision. A strategy was put
forward that minimised costs and maximised the benefits in line
with business needs over the coming years.
Voice
over IP (VoIP) - savings myth or reality?
Customer
survey
VoIP
has been touted as a way of reducing telecoms costs for a number of
years now. There were initially concerns over voice call quality.
There were also questions over new equipment costs, compatibility
and reliability….and of course natural inertia when voice call
prices were falling in any case. Has the tide now turned and are
companies that do not adopt VoIP losing out? Let us know your views
on our easy-to-complete electronic questionnaire. In return we will
forward you our report entitled ' 'Evaluating the benefits of
VoIP.' The results of our survey will be published later this
year.

Independent
supplier benchmarking
Is your IT
suppler still delivering good value for money?. Can the service be
improved, or reduced in cost? Our knowledge of the market and
industry norms and benchmarks allow us to identify any
shortfalls and produce action plans for improvement. We have helped
many organisations improve their supplier relationships, creating
benefit for all parties.
Is
your data network an asset or a liability?
Changes in markets
combined with new IT and communications technology mean that
keeping the two in step is a challenge. Get it wrong and your
company will either waste money or lose business. Data networks in
particular can either facilitate ebusiness or constrain business
growth. Our business and IT alignment programme tackles the issues.

data costs
