Plum has extensive experience in the exploitation of technology to meet business objectives. Our expertise includes engineering, spectrum management, economics, policy development, commercial and technical modelling, research and development delivery and management, systems architecture, business-technology alignment, architecture development, strategic planning, sourcing, product strategy, value management and transformational programme governance, and we have worked across a variety of sectors including telecommunications, broadcasting and media, and satellite.

Our technology experience spans the full ‘stack’, from devices, through access, core, and transport networks, to business and operational support (B/OSS) and enterprise information systems.

Where business is dependent on technology, as is increasingly becoming the case in today’s markets, we believe that sound business is only built on sound understanding, planning and operational use of technology.

In large and complex programmes such as business and technology transformations, project management is not sufficient and wider perspective is required, taking into account various factors such as detailed project planning, resource and risk management, architecture and technology alignment, contracting, and regular and intensive reviews to maintain alignment across planned objectives and actual results.

We have experience in supporting clients in programme governance and assurance engagements, where risk and failure may result if loss of vision of core business objectives results in a sea of delivery complexity.

Our independent support can significantly mitigate risk and ensure that programme objectives and activities remain true to plan throughout the full planning and delivery cycle.
