Assignments
These summarised example assignments provide some overview of our work:
- South London & Maudsley NHS Trust (SLaM)
SLaM is a World Class mental health service provider. Mentis has undertaken several assignments supporting development and implementation of the Trust’s ICT strategy, providing SLaM with a strong pragmatic approach to ICT during a period of intense change in the NHS, contributing innovative thinking, independent assessments of technical direction and expert resources to achieve more aggressive timescales than the Trust could have met alone.
- HMRC Aspire
Aspire provides managed ICT services to HMRC. Mentis has provided a number of information security specialists and security architects to advise a range of systems change projects, addressing legacy and new application integration, external gateways, hosting servers, network devices, technical architectures and infrastructure controls.
- ACPO Criminal Record Office (ACRO)
Within the major police reorganisations under way in 2011/12, ACRO management were assessing the future positioning of the business. Mentis conducted a survey and analysis exercise involving major stakeholders across government and the CJS. Our work provided a clear definition of strategic options, tentative analysis of the key benefits and risks, and identification of the suggested route forward.
- Hampshire Constabulary
The Force needed to identify radical cost reductions in back office areas and support costs. We worked with the Force's finance specialists and local managers, deploying "zero-base" budgeting techniques to pinpoint areas of expenditure which were non-contributory to public service objectives and/or delivering poor value for money. This fast-track exercise delivered several million pounds of cashable savings for either reallocation to frontline services or for absolute savings in Force budgets, establishing a clear baseline from which levels of current and future expenditure can be monitored and controlled.
