Managed Services

We deliver and support systems and services that are used by multiple participating organisations to track and manage centralised information

These services enable organisations to collaborate with one another.

To realise these services we work with partners: software developers and infrastructure suppliers.

Here is why it works

All organisations have activities that are vital to their continued viability but which do not deliver a competitive advantage.

Bespoke one-off solutions are costly and can sometimes be subject to very expensive technology obsolescence.

If a number of organisations all have the same non-competitive activity to undertake, Collabro can ensure that they can collectively benefit from the same service from one managed source.

All organisations then benefit from cost savings by sharing the fixed overheads and they also see intangible benefits from adopting a standard approach.

Benefits of working together

  • A standard approach allows all participants to work with current best practice solutions maintained by the managed service provider
  • Dialogue with peers via user groups / governance board meetings often identifies additional collaborative opportunities
  • New but experienced staff are immediately familiar with the system when they arrive because, as the industry standard, they were using it at their previous employer (useful when dealing with a workforce as mobile as that in the UK upstream industry)

So this is what we do at Collabro

  1. We identify the opportunities for a multiple-participant service.
  2. We ensure that the business case for the proposed shared service approach is robust and that the market exists.
  3. We move the project into development.
  4. Beyond development there are a number of routes to final delivery, as our case studies demonstrate.
  5. Finally, Collabro acts as the delivery mechanism for the service, managing its delivery on behalf of the users and the solution providers, acting as the single point of contact for all parties.
