ABOUT US
Independent IT Expertise for SME's
WHY DERAMORE
Our focus is on providing IT Expertise to SME-sized organisations, helping you source the best suppliers and products to ensure your IT is fit for purpose. We specialise in working with companies without an internal IT function, effectively working as your virtual IT Director.
If your management team is fully occupied running and developing the business, with IT responsibility sitting on the edge of someone's desk, then we can provide that senior-level input.
You probably already retain external providers to supply HR and legal advice, so it makes sense to outsource IT expertise in the same cost effective way, to ensure your IT is fit for purpose and future-proof in a complex ever-changing environment.
We work on your behalf, providing independent expertise on all aspects of your IT.
OUR SERVICES
Many years experience in the industry enables us to provide you with practical help, so that IT supports, not hinders, your business.
Perhaps your current infrastructure may be unstable, or you have simply outgrown your existing supplier. We will identify organisations who can better support your business going forwards, and manage the selection process and onboarding on your behalf.
You may be running your business on spreadsheets or an out of date system, and that might entail risk as you grow. We can identify suitable business system vendors, help you choose the most appropriate for your needs, and manage the implementation.
We can manage a structured identification and selection process for you, or alternatively simply put you in touch with companies we have previously successfully worked with.
There are many other scenarios we can help with, so please contact us to arrange a chat. Please remember, we are not affiliated to any other company and will always work solely on your behalf and for your benefit. Check out the testimonials below for the benefit we can bring.
TESTIMONIALS
GEMMA WRIGHT, COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR, REWARD FINANCE GROUP
“We brought Mike into our business at an important phase in our strategic growth plans. It was a key priority for the directors to ensure that we have a robust IT infrastructure in place that can support us in this growth and without having our own in-house IT team, we quickly realised that we needed some support.
Mike’s vast industry experience meant that he was the perfect choice to work with us, acting as a consultant to project manage the key IT workstreams that we identified. The brief was wide, ranging from enhancing our IT security and resilience, to migrating to a new IT Service Provider and sourcing a new Operating System to run our growing loan book. Having Mike on board meant that I have had the confidence that someone is overseeing all the different projects, prioritising the workflow and minimising any impact on the wider business as well as working with me to determine the strategic priorities for the business and make sure we have robust platforms in place to take us to the next stage of our growth.”
SUE WALLACE, COO, LINK SCHEME LTD
"Mike quickly became an integral member of the team, freeing my time by taking on the responsibility for and management of the operational aspects of the setup of the new company, through the migration and transition into BAU. He sourced and implemented the new IT platform, managed the data transfer, and oversaw the setup of accounting and payroll functions. In addition, he created role specifications and assisted with the successful recruitment of new staff members."
TOM FLANNERY, JOINT MD, REWARD FINANCE GROUP
"I have known Mike for a number of years and always found him to be very professional. He works diligently in a structured manner without losing focus on milestones and ultimate completion dates. He has recently successfully completed a number of major IT projects for Reward Finance Group which have delivered a robust, secure and scalable platform with the ability to service all our growth aspirations.”
