Services

Because we encourage and deliver individual engagements with each client, categorising our services isn’t always easy. But our offerings do fall into a number of discrete categories:

Procurement Process Management
accordian arrow icon

Our role in the process is entirely customer-led. But typical of all our engagements is our effort to actively transfer skills and knowledge to our customers to help them with future projects. In this area, EUIT can be involved in:

• RFP development
• Process management    
• Process review    
• Response assessment    
• Assessment framework development

Performance Scorecard Development

After you’ve awarded the five-year outsourcing or supply agreement to a vendor, how do you ensure they will provide a consistently high level of service throughout the term of the agreement?

One way is to introduce vendor performance scorecards. These compare a vendor’s performance across a range of categories, and create an element of competitive tension between vendors even though they may be in a sole supply agreement for a specific product or service. Performance scorecards also help when it comes to performance benchmarking.

Performance Benchmarking

This service can involve benchmarking pricing to ‘the market’ or assessment of service performance against mutually agreed targets.

Procurement Strategy Development

If you want to ‘outsource’ strategy development, then go to another consultancy. Our view is simple: yes, we can develop your strategy, but you know your business. We may be technology experts, but any strategy must ultimately be owned by the organisation that has to execute on it. We feel the responsible approach is to support our clients in the development of relevant ICT strategies and to help implement them within their businesses.

Market Assessment

Many companies work with EUIT simply to understand where the market is going. We sit across numerous projects in a wide range of sectors, so we’re able to comment on trends and give insights into technology adoption.

Tender Response
accordian arrow icon

Who better than an organisation that specialises in developing tenders to help you organisation to a complex tender. We help vendors in a number of ways from Tender Response training right the way through to assistance in interpreting and completing the response…and before you ask, this is only for processes with which we have had no input.

Developing Service Level Agreement

Development assistance and help negotiating SLAs with suppliers – including everything from defining appropriate measurable SLA parameters to contract completion.

Change Agency and Managing Transition
accordian arrow icon

A key element that differentiates EUIT is the fact that we ‘own’ the outcomes of our processes. This often involves working on behalf of the customer to ensure that vendor promises are carried through and the benefits of a particular processed are realised during and after the implementation of any new solution.

Social Procurement and giving back

EUIT looks to identify projects that meet the criteria outlined by many State Government groups and corporates to ‘give back’ to the community through support of Social Procurement Policy. This policy, introduced 2021, aims to support initiatives through donating advisory services to initiatives that support:

• Development in regional Australia.
• First nations led business and personal development initiatives.
• Gender equality.
• Members in society that are vulnerable and in need of a helping hand.

Since the inception, advisory support has been provided to several non-profit organisations. After looking at several initiatives, StoryFest organisation has been the focus of both advisory assistance and investment from EUIT, as an organisation and from its staff. StoryFest, is a charity originally founded in South East Queensland to support literacy, creative writing and storytelling amongst young people. This has advanced to include other artistic endeavours. The charity is growing to become a national organisation with StoryFest events being hosted in several rural communities.
At EUIT, we don’t use off-the-shelf fixes. Your unique requirements and problems call for a handmade solution delivered in terms you can easily adopt. There’s no mystery – just ideas that work.
