Home News room A workshop for IT transformation champions
Acora is a UK based, award-winning IT services and technology company with over 25 years’ experience. We provide a range of IT support and Microsoft-centric business software and cloud solutions to help mid-market organisations modernise their IT so they can compete and win in the digital economy. More than 200 clients trust us to take responsibility for part, or all of their IT from solution design to support.
Previously, we’ve discussed that managed IT services aren’t for everyone. If the future looks like the current, then companies are often happy to look after IT as they do now and usually by themselves. Therefore, managed IT services probably won’t work for these companies.

It will help the IT champion align the internal users and decision-makers at the required speed. It is a 100-minute discovery session where we will take the whole community through a structured journey, together. We work to your specific agenda having reviewed the specifics of your situation in advance.
Issues are surfaced, alignment is facilitated, and the way forward is agreed – leaving the IT champion with a path to progress…
